Title: Brownie on Fire
Post by: clayop on July 29, 2015, 06:54:59 pm
See the price. It went up from 1.0 to 8.0.

Nobody seems to sell Brownie and many seem to want to buy Brownie.

Well, shouldn't we know what they're for? I still have mine as I thought they would be used for a reputation system but there are probably people who sold them because they thought they were just another token.

@xeroc CNX shares :P ahah too good to be true. But I love to brainstorm every possible outcome

Some things like the appreciation of what we do from BM  in the form of Brownies cannot be measured in monetary terms. So I personally will not sell any Brownie no matter how tempting it seems, no matter the price..You can't sell a gift. It is rude!

Brownie is being perceived as being a potential sharedrop target for Cryptonomex' shares.
BTS going down, Brownie.PTS up.
This reinforces my fears (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,16909.msg216323.html#msg216323) that the market will perceive CNX as potentially more profitable than Bitshares and that there's a huge conflict of interest on the Dev's side.
With one deal with a decent bank, CNX may become more valuable then the entire current Bitshares market cap.

I am very confused...As far as I understand CNX will honor all BTS1:BTS2 in 1:1 conversion and all bitassets. In CNX bitasset creation will happen again with shortselling and using BTS as collateral isn't it? Therefore for every bitasset created in CNX you will still need 2xBTS as collateral to back this right? So I don't see how CNX can be a competitor to BTS...It is just an enhancement of the current client with much much more options isn't it?

CNX is separate centralised company owned by Dan, Stan, developers and a few others.

Originally AGS investors & then subsequently BTS thought they would own the 'toolkit' in the sense that they would be a sharedrop target for anyone that wanted to use it but the new toolkit, Graphene, that has mostly been developed without BTS/AGS funding will be owned and licensed by CNX, so CNX shareholders will benefit from it.

I think you are confusing CNX with BTS 2.0....the speculation is that CNX, as a private company, will release a UIA that is a share in CNX....not related to the entire BTS2.0 platform which will honor BTS 1:1. The additional speculation is that brownie.pts will be a sharedrop target for the CNX UIA.

EDIT: Plus what Empircal said above.

BitShares is a decentralized autonomous financial services company designed to have many partners and developers without being dependent on any of them.  It will grow as partners bring their user bases to it, motivated by its referral program and the combined markets of the BitShares Exchange Network it implements.

Cryptonomex is a flesh and blood software company governed by US laws about who can own it.  It is designed to make money for its shareholders (with a side benefit of offloading from BitShares the need for it to pay for all new development by itself.)  One of the major ways CNX makes money is by growing BitShares.  Look at this Summer's announcements.

Dogecoin holders are a demographic of people who like funny dog memes.

BitShares AGS holders are demographic of people who donate to developers.

BitShares BTS holders are a demographic of active HODLers and USERs of BitShares.

Brownie Points holders are a demographic of people Bytemaster "appreciates".

Demographic membership lists are interesting to people for all sorts of reasons.

Brownie is doing a good job of showing what the price of something can be when no one who holds it wants to sell, and supply is very hard to get.

Its like what what would happen to BTS if the blockchain were profitable, and the supply was decreasing.

It's a s'more.

Dairy Queen has 6 new blizzard flavours, http://www.dairyqueen.com/ca-en/Menu/Treats/

No offence it should have been called truffles, brownie cook dough just doesn't compare to salted caramel truffle.

It seems to me to be the start of the "gift economy". I have something similar of my own but I haven't put it much into use a this time. I would recommend that everyone create their own "favor credits" so that when the gift economy becomes a real thing you can take advantage.
