Whats going on, are Bitshares-PTS worthless now?

Nobody knows. There's a community over at http://pts.cubeconnex.com/ that is upgrading PTS, and they will snapshot the current version of PTS. The question we don't know the answer to is whether they'll use the snapshot from yesterday (November 5, 2014) or whether they'll take a new snapshot. The PTS network has almost completely stopped operating, which means that if you try to send PTS from your wallet, it's possible they will never arrive at their destination.

I've read up a little and I see that PTS holders wont recieve 10% of future DACS anymore, is there a new one that will replace PTS or what?

This is a rumor that has been circulating, but as far as I can tell, it's not currently true. (I say "currently" because all these things are subject to the whims of the community consensus) It looks to me that PTS (hopefully the upgraded version) will probably continue to have DACs sharedropped on it.

Sure, investors can buy and sell whenever they want to .. and I dare tell them they are doing wrong .. do what ever you like .. I am not a trader nor a big investor ..

I just wanted to make clear that those expecting BTS from their BTSX do not sell their stake because they thought BTSX has been snapshotted .. and they can get rid of them ..
That's just not the case.

well , no need to be worried ...because people aren't that stupid yet .... most exchanges gave out a detail plan telling people "BTSX will not be affected after snapshot" , so I'm just saying today's price movement just another issue .

Although one thing did seem odd is that PTS is not dropping ....

I was watching PTS on Bter and I'm 99% sure that someone forgot to turn their arbitrage bot off. I'd sell 10 PTS into the top bid, and 15 seconds later there would be a new bid waiting for me at the same price. I gratefully thank whoever it was that donated so much BTC to me in this way! Hopefully this will be a cautionary tale to all those who run bots.

I take some

I'd totally buy your short except now I'll be away from my computer for the next 14 hours or so. Maybe the price feed will still be in my favour tomorrow morning...

So is it cheaper to buy bitUSD on bter or btsx?

If you want to buy in a short timeframe, BTSX is better because of higher liquidity (tighter spreads). If you can afford to wait, Bter is better because of lower liquidity: since the spread is so wide and the markets are so thin on Bter, if you wait long enough you might get an opportunity to pay only 61 cents for a bitUSD, like the OP pointed out.

BTSX doesn't have a vesting period but if you leave it on an exchange you're trusting them to, "Do the right thing".

I take it those holding BitUSD are missing out on the airdrop ?

Your bitUSD will simply carry over to the new BTS.

If I remember correctly PLAY will use the PTS snapshot.

Yeah, that's what I'm getting from HackFisher's post.
