I can't see anything worthy enough for such a big move. Intriguing.

Bitshares will surpass bitcoin in 2015.
Thx for the efforts and transparancy ... the devs deserve every single larimer ... for sure ...
Based upon this analysis the goal of BitShares is for BTS to become a global currency in its own right and for the dilution that we experience today to fund development to taper off until we have a fixed supply
This is awesome.
Do you think it is worthwhile to contact some bitcoin media outlets about this (coindesk et al)?
We have an email thread going right now where I am helping them with integration.
We need to leverage ALL bitshares chains to help one another. Each chain, as it stands, will help adoption of the others.
We do this by incenvitizing users of one ecosystem to use join other ecosystems. For instance, what if logging into Peertracks every day gave you a chance at receiving a little bit of bitGold? what if doing a daily quest in an on-chain bitshares PLAY game gave you a chance to get some bitshares Notes (so you could listen to some of your favorite tunes while you play)?
My main concern is that our community will
A) be too hateful of any chain that ISN'T BTS and thus will lock out this possible strategy (and many others)
B) be too interested in nitpicking everything Dev Delegates do to build new services for us...and will drive them away.
C) May not happen because large chains will get more benefit from issuing their own BitGold type assets because of the increased demand the collateral requirements create for PLAY shares and thus benefits their shareholders vs. ours.
In the early phases it would not be in the best interest of any chain to do this. This would only (in my mind) become feasible when there is enough of a userbase to sustain it. With that said, PLAY will never want to do this because it opens them up to regulatory hindrances they currently have no need to deal with.
If/when it gets to that point, it would be a winner for all of us because then there will be assets that come out tracking baskets of these versions (bitGold, NoteGold(?), PLAYGold(?)...etc all combined into a version of ___Gold that is even MORE stable than any single chain's).
I am really confused though where this "their" shareholders and "ours" comes from though. Unless, of course, people are choosing to divest from all the sharedropped tokens and only hold BTS, which in my opinion is not the best of strategies if we want DPOS to become the standard protocol that keeps on giving. I could be wrong, but obviously I don't think I am or I would have shut up by now
The best way to beat the competition, is to be the competition

Bitreserve's President of Global Strategy and Markets, responded that although the Bitreserve team “[doesn’t] need the crowd to raise money,” they wanted to “respect small investors.” Parsa drew a comparison between crowdfunding's disruption to normal venture capital, and Bitreserve's aimed disruption of international monetary transfer. He stated that they aim to support “innovation with social benefit wherever we can..
