Thanks for posting!
My opinion on this is:
+ I can wait some years!
+ people keep on talking about dilution hear dilution there .. they don't see the big picture and they don't see that BTC has a significantly higher dilution that is WASTED ..
Anyway, once people understand what this "share injection"/"dilution" is good for .. and that it IS GOOD for the ecosystem .. we (the strong hands) will feel glad to be part of it! </IMHO>
I think most people who are complaining right now don't see the big vision or the true potential of what Bitshares could become. They are looking at the fact that the price is going down and reacting to it like how people react to Bitcoin when the price goes down.
Honestly it seems like we have a lot of speculators who don't really have a grand vision or see a big picture. If the big picture were to make a lot of money then the people who cashed out at $100,000,000 made their money. If the big picture is to change the world and our way of life then that is a much bigger challenge.
To do that you need to create DACs which allow people to quit their day jobs and dedicate themselves full time to this industry. If it requires dilution to get people to do that then let it be. It also has to allow us to do things which no one could have imaged were possible before and by providing greater flexibility levels you can remove limits. It requires speculators but those speculators should be making money from within the Bitshares decentralized exchange and not from the centralized exchanges.
The fact that the price is going down and people are reacting like how they are to Bitcoin provides evidence that a lot of these reactions are from people who are used to day trading Bitcoin. They may not really believe in building the Bitshares community, or see the grand vision, or have a grand vision for Bitshares that they want to help bring into reality, and without these sorts of dreams how do you convince people to do anything except focus on maximum profit?
In my opinion the profits will come in 08-01-2016. Everyone who understands that date knows exactly what will happen on that date. Bitshares has to remain in the top 5 market caps while also innovating, increasing utility, and adapting by implementing the latest breakthrough technologies. It's not a time to focus on share price but it is time to focus on building the foundation so that come 08-01-2016 once people rush into Bitshares with billions of dollars the entire ecosystem will be permanently bootstrapped.
If the correct decisions are made today then 08-01-2016 will be a new start for all altcoins. That new start will bring billions and lots of media attention. The fact that DACs can self fund, that there can be decentralized decision making, sets this technology apart and only Ethereum is thinking bigger at this point. If the level of innovation can be maintained then speculators will have their chance to get rich in a few years.
