How can BTSX be in a bubble when the main features aren't released yet? I think it's just getting started. I think if it were at 10 cents then we could talk about it being in a bubble.

Seems to me like that is exactly when bubbles occur..  when people are speculating rather than buying BTSX because they want to use it's features today.

I'm still convinced it's a bubble.. but hey, only time will tell.

I did change the title.. friendlier?

I've made some quick comments on all your questions.  I think you should just download the BitsharesX client and give it a shot.. who knows, you may even like it! 

Good idea!  I like it.. but I would definitely encourage you to do the same for Wesley's Nxt wallet.  I think you'll be impressed.

- nxtad.net allows anyone out their to advertise using Nxt as their crypto currency
Cool I love ads!  Wait.. no I dont.  BitsharesX is a DAC and makes money through transaction fees without need for ads.

Not ads in the Nxt forum or wallet.. check out the link, allows crypto advertisers and publishers to display ads.

- A decentralized marketplace
BTSX is a decentralized exchange.  NXT's marketplace just has user-issued assets.

You don't understand.. what BTSX calls market, Nxt call Asset Exchange.  Nxt has a 'marketplace' that allows selling goods and services as well.

-You can pay your credit card bill using Nxt
You could pay off your credit card with BTSX recent gains 

Not directly!

You guys all agree that BTSX is currently in a bubble?
No.

Not saying it's a bad thing.. it'll definitely end higher than it began but look at price and volume tapering off.. classic bubble. Nothing is certain of course, but I am definitely not getting in yet.  We'll see who's right in a couple weeks   Bitshares isn't speculator proof from people just hoping to make a quick buck.

DPOS security in 5 seconds is better than NXT security in 10 minutes. 

Not for long

Bitshares community is better than Nxt community because we don't develop in secret like you are doing.   I am sure you have your reasons, but your claims cannot be challenged nor debated fairly so long as they are secret. 

No the community is very open.. just me being secretive with this one idea, so we can get a head start with it.  I've run it by enough Nxt developers to be confident it should work.  You are right, don't invest in Nxt because I claim to have a better algorithm.. even if you will wish you had

I consider C++ better than Java in the long-run. 

I don't.. I consider them equal, Java somewhat protects you from making stupid mistakes that could let someone overflow a bugger  or something like that.  They both have advantages and disadvantages.

I consider BitShares more scalable at VISA levels.... home computers won't be able to forge at VISA bandwidth requirements.   

Given how fast computers are improving.. by the time we get there, probably they will.  They are close at this point.  And not only that but leasing pools will have high speed, high bandwidth computers.. or else people will lease somewhere else.  So it's ok, if some blocks aren't as full as they could be, as long as the leasing pools, which will be doing most of the leasing pick up the slack.

Im getting this as NXT advertising.

Somehow there are 5 points listed for BTSX advantages and 13 for NXT. Perhaps study and fully understand the technology before slinging material in the forums.

Nicely finished off with the bubble theory...

Somewhat correct..  responding to BTSX advertising in nxtforum.org.  Though honestly, I'm enjoying exploring BTSX and once the bubble pops, I may buy in.  I'm impressed by what I've seen.  You guys aren't close to where Nxt is, because Nxt has had a huge lead and has a strong community of it's own.  But I really do just want to start an honest discussion.

I've studied Nxt for 8 months, BTSX for a day.. that's why I'm asking if people could give me bullet points and I will happily add some to the first post.

And yes, Nxt has had bubbles, BTC has had bubbles.. every crypto has had bubbles, nature of the game.  I've seen enough of them and strongly believe BTSX is in a bubble now.  If you let emotions get the best of you, it doesn't feel like a bubble.. look at price and volume and transactions per block.. and it looks like a bubble.  Which isn't a bad thing, I'm surely BTSX will finish much higher than it was a couple weeks ago but it will go down from here.

We've had some people trying to post to the nxtforum.org to start a NXT vs Bitshares discussion (https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/open-invitation-to-the-nxt-community!/).  Figured I'd post back here and get one going here as well.  Meant to be friendly and make sure you guys are aware of what's going on in the Nxt community as BTSX and Nxt are the most promising POS coins in my my opinion.

What do you guys think about Nxt vs BitShares?

Bitshares advantages:
-Shorting with collateral, which is a nice addition to AE.
-DPOS
-Faster confirmations
-Titan addresses somehow adds privacy? Could someone explain?
-Probably better marketing team.. Nxt Organization has just started and is trying to change that, but it's going to be a little bit

Nxt advantages:
-Also has an Asset Exchange.  Cheaper to issue an asset, cheap enough that anyone can use it.
-More decentralized.. any who wants to can forge.  Via leased forging you can even just buy some Nxt to lease to a forger.. similar to DPOS's voting system but less likely to become as centralized and anyone who wants can still forge
- Arbitrary messaging
- A decentralized marketplace
- A decentralized exchange(multi-gateway).. your BTC might even potentially get robbed if robber can hack 2 out of 3 separate high-security servers but you will not lose your Nxt via the Multi-Gateway since you trade directly from your wallet.
- I'm in charge of implementing even faster and more decentralized confirmations in Nxt than BTSX has. Coming in a few months.
- Has a blockchain explorer.. which seems pretty basic, amazed you don't have anything nearly as nice as nxtexplorer.com or https://nxtblocks.info/
- Multiple wallets  Wesley's wallet, offspring, Human Fractal's wallet, mynxt.info
- nxtad.net allows anyone out their to advertise using Nxt as their crypto currency
-Alias system.. Bitshares might have this one too?
-You can pay your credit card bill using Nxt
-Many more developers, at least a dozen currently interviewing and just in general has more of the basics implemented.
-Traded on more exchanges

Clearly my money is mostly on Nxt and I know it much better.. so what am I missing that I can add under BitShare advantages?  Any of this stuff that Nxt already implements that BTSX does too? You guys have DACs out yet?

You guys all agree that BTSX is currently in a bubble?
