Btw .. bitshares is not a coin but a share .. bitusd bitcny botgold and all the others are
ah come on 5329 posts and you still believe in big corporations with shares n stuff!? in essence bitshares is a coin and you know it!
It makes more sense to say that bitcoins (or rather satoshis) are digital shares in the bitcoin blockchain. The concept of a digital coin is nonsensical and is at best a metaphor.
That being said, i still often call BTS as an altcoin just out of habit. But it really makes no sense as anything other than a metaphor for its properties, and in the long run we'll likely see very limited coin-like behaviour from BTS because of its volatility.
