Ever since the 'big announcements' started, the Bitshares price has been underperforming, and its dragged on long enough at this point that its probably not merely a 'sell the news' event, but might indicate some underlying worry about the direction of Bitshares.
It is critical to the success of a project such as Bitshares that the community feels like a united community, working together for the benefit of all, and not as disparate groups in competition with each other. Given that, it seems that it would be a good idea to gauge community views on this issue and try to reach a better consensus. Perhaps we need more explanation from the dev team about the workings and implications of cryptonomex on Bitshares. Maybe we need to better educate the community?
To start, lets figure out where we are right now by answering this poll. Hopefully this can lead to a good discussion and solutions, and the community can move forward together.
