Don't know why people act so emotionally to this. What's the problem? If you were in that position, you would probably do the same. It's just about making money, nothing else.
It makes sense to send the price as low as possible before a pump to get more cheaper, create a massive bear trap, etc. Even if those aren't the reasons, whatever the market decides, happens. 1 person can't possibly turn the whole market around if you reach $1M or $2M in volume I think.
Bright side, have people thought BitShares can possibly be caught in two pumps? One now and the other in 8 months when Bitcoin halves. Of course this is pure speculation but there are actually chances of happening. Now if we give more context and realize that during this period of these two pumps, you will have more partners joining, developing, crowdfunding and sharedropping stuff, we can see the potential of where we can go in just the next 8 months.
[Oct13(2.0 release)---------Nov--------Dec-------Jan----Fev--------Mar--------April--------May--------June---------July---------August (Bitcoin halving) -----]
[---Assuming we launch smoothly we will have development, more partners, sharedrops and crowdfundings during this whole time ---]
This is a very positive insight, of course nothing of this can happen, but given these circumstances and that BitShares already hit rock bottom, meaning we can only go up, what's there not to like about it? I see a bright future in the next year assuming everything goes smooth with our launch. Call it wishful thinking but that's something that comparing with other possible outcomes, can also have a significant chance of happening.
We launch smoothly
We get major exposure at:
- Web Summit
- China Blockchain Summit
More Partnerships
More Sharedropps
More crowdfundings
Meanwhile we already have Banx, LottoShares and Peertracks doing their thing too
Assuming the price rises with 2.0 launch, more money for development
Another possible price increase during Bitcoin halving, that, again, even if it isn't significant, it can help even more development
May or may not happen but it has a much more better chance of happening comparing with the past. It's something we can possibly expect now, something to consider. Of course it will be a bumpy ride but so what if the price drops a few times? it has to drop, you can't possibly expect to be a straight line from here to 6000 or 7000 satoshis. Things take time and we are on a good path. Let's enjoy it.
But making a scene just because we had a dump... lol
