Thanks for all your kind words. 

My role on BitShares over the past 18 months has actually been quite modest. 

I work mostly behind the scenes.  My job involves dealing with business operations and other gatekeeper duties typically associated with a chief of staff role. I pay most of the crypto bills. I handle financial, legal and accounting interfaces, written communication functions, partnership negotiations and support, and helping people see the bright side whenever I can. 

Generally I try to take everything I can off Bytemaster’s hands
so he can focus on things that only he can do. 

Someday Bytemaster will find someone else he trusts to do those duties and I will be able to retire.  But it is hard to find someone you can trust to have your back in all situations, especially on the financial and legal fronts.  Until then, if I don’t do these functions he will have to find time to do them himself. 

If I’m the only one he trusts to walk his dog,
then by walking his dog I generate more Bytemaster time for the ecosystem. 

Thus, the value of my contribution is pretty much just the value of Bytemaster’s time saved for things that only he can do. 

**Full disclosure, BM does not own a dog.  I'm using another metaphor. 

Sadly Stan has had to waste his time in this backlash why am I pointing this out because I talked to Stan prior to the mumble session (and for the first time ill be honest) and he said the exact same thing and that is what COOs do (Chief Operations Officers) they get off the load for the CEO (Chief Executive Officer).  I wouldnt even consider Dan in Stans esteem as CEO I would consider him a Chairman which is the highest position in an organization as it guides the highest direction of the organization, the organizations vision, as Stan (I know im going to be a dick saying this) may not have ever been in contact with a Chairman of this sorts and because Dans role may have changed now to Chairman and maybe Chairman/CEO position (a person can have 2 positions in management as the Chairman is on the board of directors and not really an active role in the company, as I said the main purpose of the Chairman is vision, and that is exactly what Dan Bytemaster is doing)

Anyways maybe this is not a sad circumstance and I believe I should be targetted next on the forum for my opinions/comments/responses and sadly my disrespectful interruptions on the last mumble server.  If you want to target me, go for it but I will be honest with you the post will be spammed, I have a lot of time on my hand and I will respond to many of the opinions meaning I am going to make multiple back to back posts because I am not so computer literate and dont know how to multi-quote, stupid hu?  I know its so fucking stupid, fuck!  If you want to guide me to how to multi-quote do back to back quotes so I can put multiple quotes in 1 post im up for it I will listen not just hear.

An economist cant predict the future of when a stock market collapses, therefore I call myself a financial scientist.  At least yet.

*Why no bonus for the NullSt. people?  Can I have a severance too? I will take 3 million BTS to go away and never come back. Send to newmine 

That is why you don't get a bonus/severance.  Those that did get it are committed to the cause and will not abandon the project even though in our contract-free ecosystem they could.

Wat? I have no affiliation with NullSt guys. I am just saying they are making about $2K per month and doing a better job than all of you guys, Stan, You, Brian Page etc. in the marketing arena and your near 1/2 a million dollars in pay you've paid yourselves. Just saying, maybe Stan's bonus (not sure why he earned it) should've gone to those guys.

Stan earned his bonus, go f yourself.

Put this in the investing reddits, http://www.reddit.com/search?q=investing .

Also what do we measure the gross dividend rate across all stocks in the US or world, or the capital appreciation of the shares or both the total value increase and then we jig how much it is in terms of a persons income they spend on stocks (the CPI percentage)? 

And tie in how crypto currency would be in a basket of that persons investment CPI percentage, if thats the way your thinking.

Perfect

(Sorry for english first but I am english first and Google Translate Second)

As a community we are 2 different communities in one.  There is a call to arms, we need you Chinese community to vote in your own 100% paid delegates to promote in China or your own communities.  For instance (an example) a person phoning 200 people a day not letting down the phone tell a prospective list to buy bitshares its a good investment (this may or may not be a good idea).  We need you guys to vote in your own paid delegates and start promoting with bitshares money.

（对不起，英语第一，但我的英语第一和谷歌翻译二）

作为一个社会，我们是在一个2个不同的社区。有一个檄文，我们需要你们中国社会在自己的100％支付委托投票，以促进在中国还是自己的社区。例如（例子）一个人打电话给200人每天不辜负电话告诉准列表买bitshares它是一个很好的投资（这可能是也可能不是一个好主意）。我们需要你们在自己的支付委托投票，并开始与bitshares资金推动。

Giving away a dollar of bitgold does not magically make the market cap of BTS increase by $3.  This isnt some perpetual motion machine.

It is if the dollar is coming from a paid delegate.
