Question for the BitShares faithful: Is anyone still holding Bitcoin or other cryptos? Why? And if so, what percentage of your crypto assets are you holding outside of BitShares?
I sold all my junk coins for AGS and PTS. Since BTSX has come out, I realize that I've done what was once unthinkable: sold out (almost entirely) of Bitcoin. I just have nickels and dimes remaining in my BTC wallets at this point. So I would say that 99% of my crypto 'portfolio' is now in BTSX, a little BitUSD, and other BitShares commitments. Am I wrong to believe in this so strongly? I don't think so. Every dime I keep in Bitcoin is one dime that won't double, triple, or tentuple nearly as fast as it should in BitShares. Yes, there are risks, but as long as you are in crypto, risks are par for the course. I'm not interested in balancing or diversifying anymore; this is not money I need to eat or pay the mortgage. The (very realistically possible) potential rewards here vastly exceed anything else.
I was "all in" in the Bitshares world from the very first articles and interviews I heard from the Larimers back on Let's Talk Bitcoin (I even moved all my PTS to AGS, along with ALL of my BTC). I did buy a lot of bitUSD and some bitBTC mainly to help get the ball rolling. But my main investment by far is btsx. I did recently move enough bitUSD to an exchange to trade for BTC because I need to go on a trip and I could pay for my plane tickets with BTC but not with bitUSD or bitBTC or even btsx.
The hell with diversification. I own no other investments in crypto or anything else (except for a little precious metals in case the internet goes down). I am riding the Bitshares rocket to the stars.
