I've been putting a lot of thought into this the past few days and the conclusion I've reached is some FUD is good.
If it stirs controversy and causes people to argue about it, then more people are going to become aware of Bitshares in general. That means more people are going to actually do their own homework to decide if the FUD has any merit.
Sure, a lot of people will look at said FUD and let it form their opinion. But some people won't and this is the people we want. At a certain point if there's enough conversation about it it will hit critical mass, and then the sheeple will pile on.
Just look at NXT. Remember the endless FUD about there being 70 some initial investors who owned most of the stake? It generated alot of conversation, and now they have the third highest market cap.
That said, I'm not a marketing genius by any means. Probably the exact opposite.
I think we should hear from somebody who does marketing for a living on this subject.
