How could btishares help bitcoin achieve remittance success?
Although I like the tone, sentiment and sound logic of your message to not go out of our way to put bitcoin down, I do see Empirical1.1's perspective in terms of not holding back on the solid facts that give BitShares an advantage over it's competitors like bitcoin. Max, you make a compelling case for sure, and we should definitely temper our posts with this in mind.
However, I'm just not sure how far that should go tho, thinking about your sentence above.
On the one hand, there's plenty of room in the growing remittance market for many players to feed like pigs and nobody goes hungry. On the other hand, it is a monstrously bit advantage BitShares has over all others so why would we "give it away"?
Perhaps give it away is put too strongly, but imo we should be strong and have penetrated that market before we spend any time or effort to help our competition.
Now if the process and methodology we use to penetrate the remittance market could serve to "demonstrate how it's done", to pave the way
without throwing glass on the road behind us to blow out the competitor's tires by all means that should be the approach we take.
There's a big difference between throwing glass on the road to hinder them vs. forfeiting our lead car starting position and taking one 30 cars behind the pack.
I don't think there are [m]any here that are the type to use "glass on the road" strategies, and if there are they are doing so contrary to the Golden Principle; it is inconsistent to BitShares philosophy, hypocritical and should cease.
Maybe my aversion to such aggression biases me against seeing it, but I don't see it, and I really don't think we should give our advantages away.
