Yeah i'm all in favor of Brian doing 95% of of all interviews, soundbytes etc. I'd like to see Daniel's time devoted to the most important +5%
Brian, great interview man. Really pleased to hear the "what bitcoin does for money, Bitshares does for business" analogy. Really like "ultimate app store for entrepeneurs" these are all fantastic and *much* improved from the last round addressing people "so, you want to make a bet on the price of gold" when pretty much none of them want to make a bet on the price of gold lol.

Did I get this right, will AGS become liquid after the fundraiser? 41:10
-
I don't believe AGS will ever be liquid, but when Bitshares comes out you will have those as liquid assets derived from Angelshares
-
That's what I thought, but Brian clearly states that AGS will become liquid somewhere at the end of the funding period (41:10). We'll let's hope it's a mistake, otherwise this will cause a major sh*tstorm.
But yeah, other than that great interview
-
Yeah that is the first time I have heard about AGS liquidity as well. Please address!
Otherwise +5% +5% +5%

Agreed, it's evident Daniel is multi talented, but he's most valuable in the tower "brewing DAC" +5%

Really great interview, It explains very clearly the concept, it's exciting to listen and gets people attention and interested to investigate more.Very nice it is refreshing and encouraging for all of us to know that Brian is doing such a good job explaining Dac and Bitshares. We need more of this. +1

I agree. We can't stop someone from releasing a coin that maps to AGS and we can't stop the market from honoring that coin instead of AGS if it chooses. We couldn't initiate or support that ourselves without altering the value proposition on which people have been relying.
The natural, gradual process of liquefaction is when new families of DACs spin off. BitShares X effectively liquifies its portion of AGS for holders on February 28th. If BitShares Bingo winds up serving as the prototype for a family of honorable gaming DACs then more of AGS would become liquid at that time. So eventually AGS could become mostly liquid through the sum of all children it spawns.

Brian did a great job in this interview and is getting better every single day. Like everyone he sometimes has a hard time keeping up with the technical side and rapid changes as we learn and adapt. There have been discussions on this forum of making AGS liquid, but of course like everything we do with respect to AGS... honoring it is merely a recommended way of gaining support of the community (and us) by meeting expectations. If the market thinks it can gain support for a liquid form of AGS after the 200 days, then that will probably be what is adopted by DAC developers.
Note: a liquid form of AGS would increase their value relative to PTS as your 'frozen period' would be limited to several months instead of life... but it would not devalue the proposition of PTS aside from increasing competition in the market by people selling their AGS positions which would become fungible with PTS. That said I could see PTS holders gaining from a TaPOS coin that 'froze' the PTS supply at 2M rather than allowing for continual inflation. PTS and AGS could thus be merged into one chain with 4M coins. In this way what PTS loses to competition form AGS (those who made along term commitment are not terribly likely to dump)... it picks up in reduced inflation. Whether PTS has more to gain or lose from this situation is hard to know.
Brian and Charles Evens will both be doing as much or more speaking than me in the future, at least when it comes to non-technical interviews.

I think Bitshares Bingo could end up being more important than Bitshares. If it's something which can be turned into a sort of web app then maybe anyone could put it in their website?

Brilliant interview. It's probably the best place to direct anyone who wants to understand what Bitshares is all about in under one hour. Really impressed by Brian.
I love the vision of combining the best of Bitcoin with the NYSE and iTunes Appstore!
Tiny tensions:
1. Centralization of judges for the Shark Tank Competition.
2. Centralization of spending for the upcoming DAC event. (Literally a shark tank!?)
Whether or not you want to make all the decisions here, I think it would look better and be more consistent with the overall line if you can boast in interviews that you're at least involving the "highly active community" which "helps and participates" (etcetc.) in all of the decisions.

doing darkrooming on a DAC +5% +5% +5% +5% +5% haha
No seriously I really loved this interview and would indeed be
a good start for people who like to know what this is all about. great work!
