You want to put the BTS completely fragmented?! For this reason we have decided to recommend that all future chains based upon the concept behind BitShares X be initialized with a snapshot (100%) of the state of BitShares XT around the time of their launch.
Key word here is initialized with snapshot. All chains BM plans to make will still do this. Some will print new shares because he thinks that will make that chain more likely to be worth more overall. Some will not to appease investors. In either case, you have a stake in them all.
I'll make a few chains too, some initialized with some shares to the altcoins that'll be traded on them, some airdropped on real-world organizations (partnerships with traditional businesses). Whatever.
You have stake in them all.
No we don't want things fragmented and that is the real challenge in all of this. The only way to make 'everyone happy' is to have 100 customized chains to exactly what they want.... or we will have a large number of detractors for any compromise or change in plans.
What I would really like to see is this:
1) A single chain that upgrades over time and adds new features supported via the dilution method once this chain gains traction then clones can pop up on their own to compete.
The challenges with this approach is:
1) Not everyone supports the dilution approach
2) How do you handle different snapshot dates
So we are stuck with figuring out how to give everyone what they want and market fragmentation / competition will be the result. If someone can build a large alliance around a particular approach then they will be successful.
