General Discussion / Re: Leave the Dev's alone!
« on: October 19, 2015, 05:20:37 am »

This forum has an insanely over inflated sense of self worth. There is a much bigger game at play than short term BTS value. As an investor your choice is to either recognize the long term goal or sell.

When the outside world looks at this thing, they don't even know the fee rate can be changed over time, so they're thinking, "nice, if this coin hits 3 billion market cap like Bitcoin, I get to pay $15 in fees per transaction!

had the same thought the other day  :-\

Can fees be displayed as USD? Seeing something like 5 cents has a much lower perceived value than 20 BTS.

In the US Scottrade is seen as a bargain basement trading firm at $7 per trade!! Seriously. Other houses charge $25+ USD PER TRADE!!. Let's get some perspective on what the market will bear.

To put it in context most US trading companies charge between 1500 - 5000 BTS per trade.

Yeh but what method is talking about is changing the perception to users...especially with consideration to the demographic.  Ironically he came to the same conclusion i did...now if only i hadnt missed his previous post...lol.

Method-x has the right of it. I only meant to highlight the absurdity of the debate over fees vs the "real" world.

Thanks fav. Looks like riverhead got fired though

What happened?

Just not enough votes. Now that I'm home and can focus on getting feeds running (using Xeroc's tools currently) and witness node monitoring, etc. I can start to campaign for votes.

IMHO the price per BTS will rise when business partnerships start to drive demand. Until then it's just crypto day traders sloshing funds here and there based on perceived trends to turn a quick buck.

If the actions of those loaning BTS is driving the price down then I am all for it. It creates a great buying opportunity for long term holders.

Our competition is not other crypto. It's legacy payment processors like PayPal and on-line usage of debit cards.

This. Exactly this.

Thanks for keeping us updated.  Are the event host's doing any video production for this?  If so, would like to get info as to where/how to obtain it.

It is being recorded. I am not sure if or how it will be made available.

Great job Stan! Complimented Ethereum and its objectives and described how Bitshares is going after a different goal (flexibility vs speed) - everyone can win. Awesome!

Lol bter hit 1500.  Probably because people realized they'll fail to upgrade, and itll be worthless fake bts they are bagholding there.

They did stop deposits. Hopefully they'll upgrade and then honor the snapshot.

The chart above does not include the last few days as far as i know... it will be interesting to see how we are trending in a weeks time; we are definitely heading in the right direction!!

Can OpenLedger make their UI sexier than POLO Night Mode?
funny thing is .. if you don't like the skin .. you can fork it and do your own .. how is that?

Exactly. There will be dozens of wallets, skins, themes, etc. once the referral program catches on.
