This is the problem. I can go out right now and find a whole host of posts that prove this incorrect. I don't have the time, so I'll simply say you can look them up.
You have not bolded the most important statement here...it provides the context:
7) Our team will focus on no other DACs other than BitShares in general and work to make it the most robust and *FLEXIBLE* DAC out there. "
PTS IS dead for all intents and purposes to the devs who work on the BitShares SuperDAC. They worked for Invictus and now are no longer going to do so.
For those who were not around from the beginning, it is hard to understand the context. PTS was said from the very beginning to be a token that should be sharedropped on...thus creating more competition
within the bitshares ecosystem as new chains would be developed. PTS (and AGS) were vehicles to get a stake in numerous projects by honorable and ethical devs alike who wanted to bootstrap their projects with interested community members who were willing to purchase a simple token just to be able to have a diversified portfolio of cryptos based on the toolkit.
AGS people funded the toolkit largely and I have a far larger stake in AGS than in PTS...so I have no clue why I would lobby for PTS to remain alive without the understanding of what it was originally envisioned to represent that most of us who have been here from the beginning have grown to understand it as.
These are simply my opinions...They really do not matter. Just like your opinion is largely not going to matter when it comes to the consensus. Those who want to try to drive value into the chain are going to do so...whether or not you want them to is a moot point.
I support it personally, because I like the idea of a world where their is a diffusion of power across many chains. I also like the idea that for the first time in a long time, people can buy into a single token and never have to sell it to receive stake in new, potentially highly valuable projects. PTS is a token I can buy my mom for christmas and say "just hold onto this and in 10 years redeem all the shares you have". i don't have to explain bitAssets to her, or DNS, or Decentralized Voting. I just tell her "buy this and get a stake in many projects!"
It is honestly kind of needless to worry about anyway for BTS holders...anything PTS helps build will be a candidate for the main BTS chain to adopt (some will call this stealing in the future community discussions), thus driving more value into the primary chain. I think all of this is silly talk--except for destroying the old chain, which I think is a must. This holds true even if it requires setting back the launch date.
