Title: Forums seem kindof dead today...
Post by: Thom on October 13, 2014, 07:21:36 pm
This is the least amount of activity I've seen on this board since getting involved here. Is there something going on I should know about?

Yeah you're in the eye of the storm imo.

A more stable BitAsset system with more yield and greater variety, plus a marketing push and greater BitAsset utility is incoming!

I'm personally still sceptical about some of the marketing strategy.
(They're targeting mainstream adoption and personally I think even with a $100 million budget you'd be pissing into the wind and I think rather trying to bootstrap the alt-coin market, high inflation countries with capital controls and then perhaps traders is probably a better approach.)

Either way considering that the peg works, plus there is enough shorting demand to generate significant BitAsset yield plus greater utility & marketing is incoming, plus we've scene how fast the devs can implement stuff. I actually think BTSX at $54 million today is even better value than it was at $18 million before people knew if the peg & system would work.

I think it's an amazing value, too. Scooping up all the loose change I can find under the sofas...

Also a holiday in the U.S. may have some away from computers.

Think everyone is worn out from the ABL drama last week.

All of the above... :)

Me personally, I found some very attractive buying opportunities (Empirical(the new version)'s post above and mine on BTT for clues) and I am turning the sofas, braking kids' piggy banks for some extra change.  :)

Seeing and hearing so many people talk about it is kinda making me curious what the hell happened.

It seems I missed it this time, although I got caught up in one when I first joined this forum and tried to have a conversation with one angry guy I never even heard of, which was apparently a very bad thing seeing how everybody is supposed to know who ABL is.

This is not about the ltb-beyondbitcoinshow right, or is it?

I could be wrong, but don't think so. I think he's referring to this thread: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=9885.0 (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=9885.0)

Wow, that is one heated discussion, I'm kinda amazed that I missed it, although to be honest I mostly check the new posts at the bottom of the front page of the forums.  But it seems that is not a good way to keep tabs on what happens on this forums.
