Agree with regard to invictus and bytemaster! Good distribution is key to success in DACs and this is only possible if the team focuses on the long term and not the quick bug which in the end is way more profitable anyway (exponential growth...).
Edit:
And with respect to AGS/PTS value something has to be considered that has not been mentioned yet that much. With PTS you are holding a tradable asset that can rise in value in itself which is not the case for AGS. Maybe (what do you think?) bitshares has more potential to grow in price compared to PTS but by buying AGS one is giving up an asset with value in itself. With PTS you have both Bitshares and PTS. With AGS you only have Bitshares after the release... The only way people can get in with future invictus DACS is by PTS which will make it rise lots....
What do you think?
I guess you can synthetically make your own AGS, if you had extra money you can temporarily part with. If you get X more AGS per PTS donated, just buy extra PTS to make up for the difference. As soon as Bitshares X is launched, sell the extra PTS you purchased. Now you have the same amount of Bitshares and you still maintain your liquid asset. The cost will be the potential loss on the extra purchased shares. It's also possible it could work out in your favor. A successful launch of Bitshares will probably cause a significant rise in the price of PTS. Is there something I'm missing here?
That would just work under the assumption that pts and Bitshares will DEFENITELY rise and that Bitshares will defenitely work. Under this assumption you can spend all your money on PTS/AGS and win. The question is is whether the added 1.5 times bitshares you get are worth giving up PTS...
Thats why you should spread it. I haven't diluted my PTS, but bought AGS with BTC.
The whole premise of our being here is hoping that BitsharesX, the flagship DAC, is going to have a high value. If BitsharesX fails it will drown confidence leading to a crash in PTS prices anyways.
For per unit BTC spent, you may end up getting 2-3 times BitsharesX by going through AGS.
