Let's say that once bitshares XT is up and running without the need for a reset. And at a certain point it would be stable at $100. Then a new chain with new bit assets would be announced, with a certain snapshot date. In the run up to the snapshot date, the price of BTS would go up to $200. Because BTS XT would give a share in the new chain. After the snapshot date BTS XT would drop just like PTS probably will.
Would it make sense that BTS will stabilize under the original $100 price?
Because BTSXT=BTSXT+ BTS 2nd chain + 3th chain etc.....
And after that the above - the 2nd chain.

I think that because a BitUSD is ~1 USD no matter which chain it is on there can be a good amount of price discovery for the new chains before it even launches. You know how many people want a snapshot of both at a premium versus people who have no preference, this is a lot of information

Meaning, it would devalue it but slowly over time as it looked more promising and not sharply in response to a snapshot date. Especially when there are cross-referential chains
-
The launching of alternative BitShares X chains will be a known possibility and thus if there are 100 potential chains to launch, then the snapshot of ONE of them would only affect the price by 1%.
Few would both bidding up BitShares X just because of a single snapshot as these would already be priced in. Furthermore, you can always BUY into the new chain after launch if it looks successful.
