I knew nothing about bitshares before noticing high volume trading on the BTER exchange last week. Within 15 minutes I put all my Bitcoin into bitshares and watched in disbelief. Buy walls of 25 bitcoin remained untouched. Sell walls being consumed in seconds.

Before going to sleep last night I picked a high value sale price for my bitshares, not really expecting it could rise so abruptly (unless I was awake and saw it happening with my own lying eyes).

Needless to say the bitshares had been sold when I woke up, presenting me with a mixture of delight and concern. How to get back on the runaway train...at a higher price.

Moving away momentarily from the arguably shallow world of trading for profit which I unashamedly inhabit, having profited in the interregnum despite ignorance of the underlying value the price was actually purchasing, I think I can see where this is going now. I am going to hold on to my bitshares. I reasonably believe you guys have acheived something remarkable. Bitshares may actually exceed the value of Bitcoin at some point. But even if they do not do so, prices of 0.05 BTC per bitshare are not merely possible. I think them ultimately inevitable. Thank you for making a trader oblivious to your ingenuity more money than he deserved.
