Depending on whether the funds could be raised, this could be an excellent move. If they recalibrate their exchange in a way that takes in fiat, with actual gateways, it's the perfect on ramp onto BTS. Although, personally, what BTS ought to be doing, is making these fiat gateways themselves. I'm not sure spending valuable resources to save a company who clearly has security issues is the right way to go about this. Why not fill the void ourselves by creating a gateway ourselves? Not to say that this isn't a difficult task, but certainly it would be the better foot forward if a proper framework can be developed. Not only that, but it would catapult BTS to the top in terms of what we can offer the crypto community.
To whoever the hell said that BTS is too conservative. Name an organization not named MaidSAFE or Ethereum that is doing anything more visionary than BTS. Because those are the only great competitors for a 2.0 platform in my mind.
