I am not in favor of using dilution.
However, for those who are in favor of dilution but do not understand what the elephant in the room looks like, i would just put out some basic information in case you don't :
1. 8BTC.com is like the Chinese version of Coindesk. Not some small time blogger or some general video website that has too much information unrelated to crypto. And it's not some guy's car which travels across the US and makes videos . Just imagine how BitShares was never once on Coindesk's head space when millions of USD were available and afterward tons of dilutions were assigned to "marketing delegates" and marketeers.
2. After the AD were put up one day, there are dozens of new comers jointed the BitShares QQ group in China. Some of them may not want to use the DEX but simply buy BTS as a investment. If you ask me, it does not hurt to have exposure on a coindesk comparison.
3. The top Chinese exchanges also made ADS on the same spot, which demonstrated the spot's value in some way.
4. This AD may proved worthless, but "bitshares" will be seen besides Huobi or other big boys. At least money would be wasted on some well known channels rather than the hood of someone's car (i had to stress the car hood thing, LOL)
