All the alt coins seem to be traded by the same people.  The same amount of money is sloshing back and forth between the top 10 alts.  Bitcoin has the lowest barrier to entry, so it makes sense that its market cap is rising before bts.  I think this is a good thing because soon these new bitcoin holders will discover bts and hopefully move some of the capital to it.

The rises and falls over the last few months have little to do with fundamentals... its hot money and momentum chasers moving the markets.

Ken would be able to get voted in much faster if he could garner some support from the bitshares china community.  I know @btswildpig is a bridge between the two communities.  Maybe wildpig could reach out to the Chinese side if he likes what ken brings to the table.

I for one am very impressed with what ken has already done for bitshares using his own funds and believe he would do a great job with a fully fledged delegate position.

@bytemaster would you consider voting for kencode?  Or do you think there is more he needs to bring to the table.  He has done a great job getting us interviews with cointelegraph and he is bringing new businesses to bitshares.  He recently just brought in ZappTales.

Global markets a a farce.... USA or someone in the west saw this as a perfect opportunity to take advantage of China's greed and smash their economy behind the Vail of "market forces"...

Good idea Bytemaster,

I set up the interview with FXStreet.com that Max Wright did with Dale Pinkert about bitshares last year.  It was done over a couple weeks and probably took an hour or 2 of writing emails and setting things up.

This is the most impressive announcement in bitshares history so far... Why is the price falling? It's baffling.

They are still just announcements... bitshares has had a ton of them in it's life cycle.  Until 2.0 is released, investors are going to be conservative with their money.  Once these companies actually start using the block chain, then investors will take notice and the price will move up.

I've setup a brand new youtube channel for BitShares Munich.
 
Why? "google food".
I have 3 videos on there now, and have 3 more coming over the next 2 weeks.
 
As I can afford more, I'll be making a LOT more. Call them "google food".. subtitles, multi-lingual, descriptions, tags, playlists, vimeos and all.
 
BitShares Munich (right now) is a small team of 6 guys (including myself) that are bringing BitShares and CCEDK to all of Europe and Africa (at a minimum).

• Crypto Coaching services
• Point Of Sale Systems (POS) api: bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,17314.0.html
• Cold storage devices, store signage, QR wearables, shirts and hats, etc.
• BitShares Munich Expo (similar to TexasBitcoinConference)

BitShares POS alone will bring in MILLIONS of transactions.
 
As soon as we get 500 subscribers, google will let us register a custom URL, such as "youtu.be/BitsharesMunich" which in turn gives us a ton of brand recognition and more links to fill google search results (ie: google food). I have the seo/sep skills to not only get us to #1 on google, but to FILL the first 3 or 4 pages of google results making it impossible for competitors to be seen.
 
1. PLEASE take a second to help us reach that 500 Subscriber mark, we need the "google food":

2. PLEASE also vote for delegate.kencode Thank You

Ken, the work that you are doing is great and I really believe you should have been voted in to the top 101 delegates.  Have you contacted bytemaster and shown him how much work you have been doing to promote bitshares.  I believe you have done more than almost all are other marketing delegates combined.  His votes would likely propel you into the top 101.

Ya I've been wondering about this order.
Its bid has been changing right?

Oh it might be all the expired shorts that still need to cover... that would explain the changing bid
