One of the more interesting quotes:
"In fact Bitshares was VERY excited about funding and working with Bithaus. This can be verified independently by looking at the posthistory over at bitshares websites.
*However* BitsharesX IPO is risky business and might land them in hot water with SEC, so Bithaus decided to pull out since they are a serious business and don't want to be tangled up in a legal mess.
I know Charles of Ethereum warned Bithaus of this personally aswell as Dominik consulting with his lawyers about it."
We are an independent company that creates solutions for all crypto-currencies - this is the first project we are launching. I want to work with the community and the people behind a project that show the greatest support towards my endeavor. I have several reasons to why I approached the Nxt community but I don't think that they ought to be discussed here.
I am very impressed on the reaction of the Nxt community and their ability to sit down and invest money in such an important project without blinking an eye.
After mtGox, NeoBee and bitcoin marketprice taking a dump I've run out of investment money I can spend without blinking quite a while ago, actually I've long since run out of funds to invest with loads of blinking as well, but you can bet I'd be happy to be in a position to invest without blinking man. On the other hand, I don't know who you directed your advertisement towards, but I do not recall seeing anything I could even invest in from you. There was very little information and I don't think you can blame people for being a bit careful with their money after all the recent disasters with failing startups in the crypto-scene.
I hope this doesn't mean you aren't interested in working with bitshares anymore, should bitshares have even a fraction of the returns nxt-holders have seen you can bet I'd not only be in the position, but also willing to help projects like yours in any way I can.
