Anybody care to ELI5 (explain like im 5) why bts is trading at %8 -10 premium in chineese CNY exchanges then the european BTC exchanges. The thing I dont get is, isnt that premium enough for some arbitrage bots to take advantage of?

Erm... tl;dr?

If you watched that 90 min video, you wont lose much by not reading.

We will reach 300 million market cap  by next Sunday 

Market cap  will be $400 million by 13th of June 2017 

Great call

I call bullshit. vegolino said 13th. Today is 8th. )

Every time someone says Bitcoin or Ripple; I tell them about bitshares. I count myself in the team

What is the status of the ongoing blockpay issues?  No update here or on steem.  Blockpay is severely under performing almost all other currencies/assets.  Stealth was suppose to be ready (at least public testing) by now and should have been caught up in the Anonymous coin pump... Huge missed opportunity and very concerning with the lack of updates.

Where did all the FUD go? I am used to read all that FUD when the price is moving

Did it happen?

It happened and it happened in a quiet non-event way.  Good job devs!  Thanks for a stable, well tested release.

indeed .. quite boring

Not quite the place...but whatever:

I have started to think that, the lack of marketing for BTS is intentional. Among the direct competitors, BTS has the best proven-on-live-network-TPS, best block time. It has a working DEX backend, with a better-then-before front end.
It has a solution to a real world problem: hacking of centralized exchanges
It has the ability to undergo a hardfork smoothly
It has ongoing development.
Well you can even say that, with the gateways alive, it has fiat on blockchain.

Only reason I can think of, for the lack of marketing, is that some future businesses are accumulating while it is very very cheap. And they do not want price to go up for now.

I know it may sound like a tin foil hat conspiracy theory... What do you guys think?

Is the price suppressed intentionally, or are you (not counting myself as i am not that active as a community member) not capable of marketing?

Major takeaway of that video:

* They name every hardfork differently! Frontier, Homestead, serenity
* Only after Serenity they will work on scalability for 1k to 10k tps
* After that .. they will be up to 1M tps ..
* Ethereum 4.0 brings 'infinity million tps" (WTF?! they either break speed of light or the size of the planet ) and maybe privacy
* Casper (the POS consensus) has not yet been proven
* solving the Economic scalability (bad actors shouldn't make a profit) in casper is still unsolved
* cross shard interoperability still unsolved
* shard validation and fees still unsolved

I think they will run into a lot of issues if they do not realize that doing things in parallel results in a lot of overhead.

The video is probably not worth your time, Dan. But it gives a nice overview of their current plans

I will say one thing, their "roadmap" is a perfect hype machine. It gives people hope for a perfect solution to every problem.

My experience with ETH (yes, I actually built it and synced the chain)...

1. I really like the JS console
2. my node got stuck syncing multiple times and had to be restarted
3. my node crashed multiple times.
4. It took me an order of magnitude longer to sync their chain

My take away is that for all of their hype, they are about as stable as the early versions of BTS. That said, I believe hype drives price more than value does.

So when is the hype time for BTS coming?  Somebody make a hype machine worker proposal and I will vote with my 2 bts
