..The only thing I disagree with is Adams value. I've looked into him and I think he would be a WICKED addition to our marketing effort if he were allowed to participate in an official manner.
Here, 'wicked' means 'very good'. Just to avoid any confusion
edited to add:
So Brian is paid if BitShares market cap increased, even if 95% of the volume is CNY? I don't think this is reasonable. The USD volume should be the judge.
This is worth bearing in mind. It's been acknowledged that the Chinese marketing has done well...
Freezing funds is a slippery slope.
Frustration with marketing is nothing new, but things have only been improving. Adam is legit and CAVO is a huge opportunity, Brian's crew is legit but cannot execute until we give them the go-ahead with a nice wallet and protocol v1.
I agree with this, we cant just freeze funds as much as I would like to. It will make people lose confidence in the system...
A slippery slope indeed. Part of the reason people will come into the BitShares ecosystem is to avoid their money being effectively or literally taken from them (or devalued) by 'the system'. This will be hindered if the BitShares ecosystem has demonstrated that it's done exactly this.
It wouldn't be such a disaster if BTS were to be taken back contractually 'off chain' though (rather than being frozen).
