Title: Let's promote bitUSD/bitCNY with delegate payment
Post by: clayop on January 11, 2015, 05:00:54 am
Hi all delegates,

Nevertheless I am so bullish about BTS, I have decided to convert all my delegate payment to bitUSD every Saturday.
BitAssets such as bitUSD is our most important product. As employees of BitShares company, we should promote our product, if we are confident with this. Now about 80,000 BTS are created every day. If all delegates participate in this campaign, we can increase approximately $1,000 daily volume or $30,000 monthly volume at least. Buying bitUSD also helps market pegging system by providing more buying power.

In addition, if we delegates keep bitUSD in our pocket and then the market cap of bitUSD increases as a result, bitUSD will jump up in CMC rank and people will be more interested in bitUSD.

Any thoughts?

NO. Stop suggesting directing bts inflation to bitassets.

Because it's harmful to BitShares ecosystem? Can you elaborate for me?

What's your reasoning for that reply?

To me it seems logical that if we want to sell bitAssets to others we should believe in them enough to hold some ourselves.

OP doesn't seem to be suggesting that we create inflation in order to pump up bitAssets, just that some of the paid delegates might want to keep some of their savings in the bitAssets.

My bad, I misread the suggestion as directing inflation towards bitasset *interest*.

Holding some BTS inflation income as bitassets is fine, I do it myself.

Side effect .. you make it your self alot easier for taxation as you basically have a USD income now and don't need to figure out the price :)
joining this club to .. maybe gonna use EUR for a part of my delegate pay (3% pay)

Yes this is great.

There's not a lot of support for my other idea. But I even want a few delegates to start coming on line that start building up some BitAssets that we can use as bonuses/incentives for gateways while building up the BitAsset CAP & turnover in the meantime.

For example it would be great if a precious metal dealer accepted BitGold. If we had a pool of funds we could give them an advance so they're not taking a risk and also subsidise an opening promotion like buy your gold from Amagi with BitGold and get 2% off your purchase (up to $1300.)
Even now just 1 delegate could subsidize discounts up to a $100 000 turnover.
