Im speaking to the community in general.  Im not rushing to judgement, but I'm very skeptical of most partnerships that Stan is touting.  This is more reason to be...

So MUCH FOR THAT TOP TEN ALT COIN JOINING THE BTS NETWORK>>> ALL HYPE

Tragic.  What a strain on credibility

In business, you seldom have total control of events, in fact you seldom have any control.

You just pivot and carry on. 

Sometimes plans work out quicker than expected, sometimes there are setbacks that move projected goals.

To let a change in plans from a situation that you cannot discourage you, is to fail in business.

To carry on in spite of it all is the true measure of success.

Do not discourage yourself and others, celebrate the willingness to move forward in spite of all obstacles.

I agree wholeheartedly to everything you said.  But expectations need to managed from here on out.  Failure is embraced, but are we learning from it?

"black swan" taking us lower. 

The crash was actually somewhat due to me.  The price of BTS on Poloniex is entirely controlled by 2 parties, one single bot and Cagara.  I saw the bot dumping into buy walls while putting up sells lower than market rate to try and drive down price on purpose, then right after that, it or someone else removed 100+ BTC buy support so there was like 70 BTC buy support only.  I instantly closed my long because I knew something was up and after I did, like 10 people got margin called and price imploded.  Then I bought back in at 2200.

If I stayed in, price would have only gone to 2300-2400 probably, but I wasn't going to be the sole person trying to keep BTS up and lose money while everyone else tries to crash it on purpose.  Anyone that wants to support BTS price, all you need to do is put some BTC in the margin trade account on Poloniex and put up a margin buy, even at some super low number that will never be filled to give the appearance of support.  (i.e. 10btc in margin trade accounts gets you a 25btc buy at 1800 that will never be filled).  This is why the Ethereum wall looks so huge, but nobody is doing it on BTS.

Yes.  I sold earlier because I saw this might occur, and that if it did I would be ruined.  So I sold in advance while I was still able to with only a small loss.  I probably contributed to the crash as well, but like r0ach said, it wouldve happened anyway and if I hadnt, I would be the guy losing money trying to hold it up.

I'm going to read your posts with skeptism now.  This isn't the first time you were bullish and then reversed your view.  Obviously you have other motives

How is bitshares permissionless when it comes to orediction markets?  Only  exchange function is decentralized

I'm reminded of something Vitalik Buterin once said: "network effect follows developers". It's something that really stuck with me because it's so true.

This is completely true and be foremost for the most sucessful crypto.  BM claims in a mumble session that Bitshares is going to be easy to develop on, or at least they are thinking about this everyday and are working towards this goal.

Perception is everything.  Bitshares will be seen as centralized with only 17 witnesses, no matter how you cook up the narrative.  Same how Bitshares had less dilution than Bitcoin, but the fear of it drove down the price more than the dilution rate itself.
