Prediction markets seem to be the best thing BTS has going for it...
Come to think of it a few good PM's would be...
-How many companies actually make it to MVP with bts by end of Q2 2016?
-How much in worker proposals BTS will spend by end of Q2 2016?
-Market cap of BTS by end of Q2 2016?
- Next big exchange being hacked and btc stolen
- Next big exchange shutting down due to hack, scam, etc (like gox or cryptsy)
We are inching closer to the launch of gamebet.gg and we have very strong incentives to integrate Bitshares into it.
The PM has been something I've been looking into for a while , but maknig it appealing to gamers in general is another ball game together.
We emphasize a lot on developers but in all honesty, from my observation..
1. A lot of key projects are centered around a few companies (Data, CCEDK, CNX.. and there's us somewhere in the corner)
2. There is very little incentive (other than the product) for new organizations to enter this space. We need to make it more welcoming.
3. Documentation will help but grabbing developer attention is another ball game. Why don't we host a 10,000 USD hackathon ? I'd donate a little for that.
4. We need a team of devoted business developers working with media and vc's to show why Bitshares is a useful / viable entity.
5. As CNX moves away from Bitshares, we need to make more avenues for new leaders to lead the way. These leaders should have opposing views so that the community can make the best of choices.
To put what am saying in perspective..
Compare
1. No. of daily tx's of nxt/btc with Bts
2. Amount of VC investments into BTC vs BTS on year 3
3. Amount of discussions about BTC vs BTS
We are nowhere in the limelight. How the fuck do we expect people to know about us when all we do is sit here and discuss worker proposals ?
If there is utility, it needs to be marketed. The sharebot was one step in that direction. What
@kenCode and @ronny are doing is another.
In my personal opinion, businesses shouldn't depend on worker proposals to build services of utlity but create viable business models that generate a ROI over a period of time. The worker proposal system reminds me of the soviet union and you know where they ended up at.
