I'm so sick of the cop out answer of "do it yourself". News flash, no one is "doing it themselves" for a variety of reasons. Also people need to realize that bts investors are INVESTORS. When's the last time you heard of a public company saying their investors need to start developing products for the company?? Never.
There's plenty of room to work here, and people willing to collaborate with you. Whatever it is we need to achieve, we can do it together.
I never said do it yourself, I said let's do it together, I said collaborate. It's not a cop out, it's the way it is. If you are uncomfortable with the way this 'company' operates, either help it to operate more to your liking, fund those who will, offer constructive input, be quiet, or leave... I think comparing BitShares to a traditional "public company" reveals a strange disconnect with the nature of this project.
and the argument being made that this community is "scaring away other devs" is completely false. Other dev's would be here if they saw that there was an actual way to make money with bitshares. They don't care about their reputation on a forum.
So you say. I think you cannot see how toxic and hostile the forums can be at times. We have a lot of gems here, but there is a vocal crowd of people, who do more to sew dissent, complain, rage against the phantoms instead of seeking solutions or supporting those who do. I recognize many have 'lost' an investment they hoped would be more mobile than it is currently, but that's no excuse.
This is oftentimes an unwelcoming place for newcomers, devs or otherwise, to enter, because of so much needless fear, uncertainty, and doubt, being spun better than any Fox news anchor... I think this is less attributable to malice and more to ignorance, but also I see there is some malice here as well.
Bottom line, CNX has both the intellectual power and stake power to control the direction BTS indefinitely. Until at least 1 of those is given up, bts growth will be inhibited and the centralized drum beat will continue. You, the shareholder, are supporting this by keeping the price stable. The only way I see out of this is a collapse in bts price or one of the above scenarios.
CNX has a moronic attitude towards the BTS price (aka the hand that feeds them). So yes I totally see them driving the price to 1 mil ish before waking up for what they have done and even considering any of your choses above... although they also tend to abandon anything that does not work by itself at 75% finished level... so them just walking away completely after hitting the above 'target' is the most likely scenario.
Are you suggesting that Bytemaster gets a lobotomy and CNX gives all their (minimal compared to any other cypto-project) stake away?
Yes, this is clearly the answer, i see it now! Thank you lil jay, for helping me to realize that
failure will bring success, that down is the new up!DOWN IS THE NEW UP!
