I forgot I wrote this here too, I was pretty happy with the little side trade.
I sold in the 0.0080-87 range having bought in the 0.0070-75 range, the rest of the alt-coin market was doing very badly much worse than BTC especially when I sold. So to hold value and gain in BTC terms over that period was really good actually.
Bullish on PTS going forward but not as bullish as on BTSX, so yeah it's probably taking some demand.
Once people understand BitShares better by noticing BitShares X they will want some PTS too, so BitShares X should help PTS in the long run.
