General Discussion / Re: Should BTS end merger vesting BTS early?
« on: April 16, 2016, 10:37:22 pm »The promise that was made, was to align the various competing chains and interests (vote, dns, bitshares etc) under the one umbrella, and to retain developer resources.
This is the promise that was broken.
It's quite normal for agreements to set aside when the original intention of the agreement cannot be fulfilled or when one side to the agreement fails to perform.
(And in the real world, damages would ordinarily be paid for breach and loss).
It is also real normal for others to want to take money from others without their consent in the real world, but that doesn't make it right.
There is a selectivity at play. It is completely not fair and will give Bitshares such a bad rep. There are a dozen ways you can spin how people were screwed. This time intentional. Those shares were paid for just as much as the shares that haven't been vested. All the shares are investments.
Those balances *are* the property of their owners. If you can't agree by that simple principle any longer, then why would ANYONE ever invest in this cryptocurrency again?
I find it baffling that so many people support this. Truly utterly baffling.
