That answer was for the market cap, in billions? :P

There is only one answer to this question: not enough.

Post by: matt608 on October 29, 2014, 04:18:49 pm: Market cap guesses:

$30-80million for the rest of the year (only down to $30mil if bitcoin crashes below $300 again)

$100-$500million Q1 2015 (marketing campaign going, mobile wallets ready, maybe bitcoin bubble at the same time taking us to the high end of this prediction, if no bitcoin bubble/rally then max $300mil)

Q4 2014 $300mil-$2Billion

These aren't based on anything.

Post by: speedy on October 29, 2014, 04:36:47 pm: Here is my answer to how many I own:

I have stopped thinking about BitShares as an investment, and I now think of it more as a path to freedom and an inevitability:

-BitShares saves you from banks that give a crappy interest rate.
-BitShares saves you from central banks that want to steal through inflation.
-BitShares saves you from exchanges that force annoying & intrusive KYC rules on you.

I first heard about BitUSD from Bytemaster's original YT video, and it instantly resonated with me because I was so annoyed at having to send Bitcoin to Bitstamp just to trade it. So I then bought PTS & AGS at that early stage.

And today whenever I hear Bytemaster's philosophical musings about creating value and preventing violence, I get more and more confident that BitShares is going to succeed because it has a moral purpose behind it. So Im still buying more BTS today.
