can't tell if Stan or Newmine
Definitely not me and I don't believe this shit story one bit. Probably Stan or someone who is really hurting because they kept buying more and more as the price dropped, like Ander.
Post was supposed to be humorous and hopeful. Also the reason we choose bitshares is because of the inflation decisions and a few others that have been made lately. Price drops are good at this stage of business for us. But real diehards, well you guys should stick around awhile, if you are still here at that point, you will see a reward.
Ok, lots of confusion about who I am, who I work for etc. It's all irrelevant at this stage. My honest to god hope is about a 50% dip in price right before we launch this. However I see lots of grumbling and I do want people to know something is imminently on the horizon.
So since I can't announce this on my own, which is frankly one hell of craw in my maw, let's ask some questions about what has changed in bitshares and the world in the past month or so that might cause us to escalate the plan.
First off, by raise of hands,
Who is aware of any bitshares enabled ATMs coming online shortly?
* tsaishen raises hand
Who is aware of the advantages of bitshares vs NXT for a company that runs existing bitcoin ATMS?
* tsaishen raises hand
Who is aware of the fact the certain ATMs are also already being directly linked to exchanges?
* tsaishen hand again
Who knows the fees associated with trying to withdraw cash and manage other assets while traveling internationally?
* tsaishen *nods*
Now ask yourself. As a US based small business owner who is seeking exposure to international capital markets, what provides a better tool bitshares or NXT?
Why?
At this point I can't say or even hint at more without risking breaking my NDA. You all seem like a great group of people and I'm excited to be here, but it's not my job to announce this. My role is mostly the project management and talent acquisition side, read this as CIO. You'll probably only see me here looking for aspiring dev talent. The CEO is a long standing member of this community, he'll do the actual announce so you know it's legit.
In the meantime, please by all means, if you feel the urge to divest yourself, do so. Dump at todays prices. But my point still stands, don't complain about it. I bought bitcoin the first time it reached $20 something and sold when it all when it touched $4 USD. I sold because I believed firmly that it had lost all potential, so I do feel your pain.
On the other hand, if you have holdings and have been looking for an excuse to hold on for just a little bit longer. Here is a reason to keep your hope alive, hold your shares and let's do this thing together!
