"A new video report from eZonomics by ING, a money management resource operated by Netherlands-based multinational banking company ING, suggests that bitcoin could one day be supplanted by an improved protocol that seeks to control digital currencies in a similar way to government-backed central banks."

Dollar-Backed Digital Currency Aims to Fix Bitcoin’s Volatility Dilemma

"ROX coin aims to be the quintessential crypto currency for music lovers and independent artists of every genre.
Not only will ROX offer unsigned artists the ability to carry out transactions free of any processing fees,
ROX will also provide its users with multiple layers of security as well as various, never before seen,
 features that will enhance the ease of access to music."


is it a bitshares-music competitor ?

I bring to the table again the dynamic number of delegates with minimum delegates... (101 I suppose)
If it is easy to change that in future maybe it is not worth talking about it right now of course...
But I thing, depended on BTSX growth, 101 delegates will not be enough at one point... or better to say it would be not so fair for the rest of the world... or maybe even dangerous for our world !
I am sure the first years it will work fine (like bitcoin and better), but imagine Titan replaces all coins? Imagine million of users!
101 delegates with thousands of users seems ok, what about when 101 delegates will "serve" 100 million users? My feeling says it will be something like a dictatorship...
It would be like 101 "respected" "companys", "rules" the world's economy... And how can I know that one "company" will not buy the other "company"... How can I know that delegate 1 will not buy delegate 101 and 99 etc. of course not in face of our eyes, nobody nor the insiders would know about it. So Coca Cola = delegate 1, BP =delegate 2, Microsoft=delegate 3 etc...
What multipools** are for bitcoin, will 101* delegates be for bitshares...

* in reality it could be only 10 that owns "indirectly" the other 91 or the first 1000 on the delegates list...
** I can imagine that the first multipools-like actors for bitshares will be the centralized exchanges for bts, because to their addresses (delegate accounts)  that will be used for the huge deposits from customers... In future they could have near 0 fees or even give dividends back (or interest) to get their precious coins ... I mean votes.

About one month after, some critical improvements have been made... ags counter, new splash screen (very importand), fixed typos, added links etc...
so the question is how much did you change your mind about the new bitshares.org feeling... let's vote again to help the designers to know if they
are on the right path with the changes they made and make again your suggestions. My experience sais that our opinion has value on this community... 

"When it rains, it pours, especially when it is raining bad news. If Ripple investors didn’t believe that before, they certainly do now. Just yesterday, CCN reported that Ripple Labs co-founder Jed McCaleb decided to sell the entirety of his XRP stock, which decreased the XRP exchange value by an astounding 40% in less than 24 hours. Now, a board member has resigned, leaving investors anxious about the company’s future."

I think Invictus must "use" their sword (community) to cut the Gordian Knot 
If enough members vote here I think it would be wise for Invictus to respect their decisions ASAP  and make an "official" statement (before end of fundraising would be optimal) about them here in the near future...
I personaly see no negatives on respecting the communitys "voice" and ... reimagine everything! (edit: if necessary)

Spreading to the world the idea about Bitshares inspired me to make the analogy that bitshares can be compared with teaching the Greek dance Zorbas to the world.
See how it begins and how it ends. Everybody will dance with bitshares at the end and everybody will be happy about it. Let bitshares unite us all, like dance Zorbas does.
See the videos and discover yourself the similaritys of BitShares with Zorbas.
