What about a 100 000:1 reverse stock split? Then 1 BTS will be worth more than 1 Bitcoin
A reverse stock split where the number bitshares is reduced but the same value is kept could be useful from a marketing perspective.
if for every 3 bts owned people got 1 bts the value of 1 bts would be about a cent and easier to think about.
Also a sub 1 billion number of shares in existence maybe more appealing to some people.
Shows are optimistic we are about the future, that the only way we think 1 BTS will be worth 1 cent any time soon is through a reverse stock split
Old timers know that when BTS was about to pass Litecoin and had threatened Ripple, Ripple did something similar to this. In my opinion this should be considered a secret weapon or dirty trick to use when the time is right to improve perception, but not wasted.
Use it when BTS can benefit the most. What matters isn't how many BTS you have but the percentages. I told people repeatedly to change the GUI to show the percentage of Bitshares the participant owns and not just some pointless number amount but you can ask under Github why they never did that.
