Seems like a misunderstanding to me. You guys are certainly idiots if you can't see how I could be confused... considering Tonyk's proposal has been the hot topic the past week and the underlying idea of Nxt 2.0 is splitting Nxt into two separate tokens. Regardless of there being different purposes for splitting Bitshares/Nxt into two separate tokens, there is an obvious similarity and the benefits may be overlapped if you combined the technologies. This is why I trust Bytemaster... he understands things like this:
can someone pull out the good ideas from that thread?
Bytemaster immediately saw the potential in the idea rather than stating "OMG Nxt is copying our completely original idea to make a scale-able blockchain." If you think this idea is original, then I have a bridge to sell you. So, I figured this couldn't be what you're talking about... silly me apparently.
This is why I have pulled out of Bitshares. You guys have wrangled "control" of Bitshares from him by dragging his name through the mud for diluting Bitshares. Yet, fail to see he is the only thing that has put Bitshares where it is today. So many project have crashed and burned by now, but Bitshares is actually still doing OK compared to most. I trust Bytemaster's intellect, but I do not trust the rest of you. You guys (me including) can only dream of being as smart as him. I have been involved with cryptocurrencies since 2012. If I am a "noob", then what does that make all of you?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=114059.msg1232596#msg1232596Why do I still care? I convinced a lot of family and friends to invest in Bitshares early. I am too embarrassed/stubborn to admit I was wrong about Bitshares, but I am certainly on the verge of doing so. Too much group think, not enough critical think. "Dilution bad", "stagnated development good" ... cave man style thought process.
Research my warnings to Litecoin several years back. I ended up being right... they are a dying coin because they failed to innovate. Ethereum one-upping them is only the first step to the slow death of Litecoin. I see similar things happening with this project... with the greedy community holding innovation and development back in this fast paced ecosystem by screaming bloody murder regarding dilution. The old adage goes.. you need to spend money to make money holds true in the cryptocurrency space. You may be ahead now as far as technology and features, but you don't seem to understand it is paramount to continue development to stay ahead instead of stagnate and fall behind a la Litecoin.
I waste too much time coaching you guys though... I will probably end up giving up like I did on Litecoin. Oh well, I tried. Right? What can you do...
