Another plusses thread! I enjoy the deeply thoughtful and informative discussion they provide.

I want to thank everybody who replied to the OP and give my to them!

Ho-ho pluses thread. I will put mine to.

 

Any BitAsset with enough market depth will be tradeable. Anybody can "propose" a new BitAsset at any time.
We can "pre-register" a bunch of BitAssets for the sole purpose of preventing anyone from issuing an asset with a name/ticker of something you would expect to be market-pegged.

Please help us crowdsource a list of assets that should be market pegged.

We need:

* Name
* Symbol
* Precise Description (needs to be specific to have a price - "1 ounce 99.9% gold", maybe even "delivered to NYSE within 1 week")
* Precision: how many decimal places this asset needs

SHORTS,...    SHORTS,...   SHORTS,....  SHORTS,...                 SHORTS,...     SHORTS,...   SHORTS,....  SHORTS,...

I still expect price to go way lower initially. Many people withdrew their PTS prior to the snapshot. So the BTSX being traded has an artificially limited supply. Once BTSX is really liquid (can be deposited/withdrawn from exchanges) we will likely see a temporary big drop. It is nice however to set the tone and advertise this high market cap. But don't forget it is really artificial.

You do not have to tell them that! 

See liondani's post "It is the 'absolute bottom’ here and now!"

Early investors are obviously big suckers. THX,

I do not know which part of them you find suckers –  one that sell cheap now or  one that are happy to have given their money back in Jan/February, while they could have bought their stake now at same/lower price?

I'm confused. How is it lower price? I bought in for 5BTC and my investment is now worth over 20BTC. May be the ones that bought at 28AGS/BTC are suckers, but that was not the norm, just deadline pressure. Keep in mind that AGS is not just the value of BTSX it will get a stake in other DACs as well.

Also to my knowledge trading is still not a part of the BTSX, so this is still somewhat hypothetical. There is still risk, but also an opportunity for speculators.

Well, it all depend how you calculate this – if you were first day/week PTS miner or BTC early miner or buyer at > $10/BTC,  you have made thousands % return on this.
 I think of myself as a ‘sucker’ because regardless of the price I got my BTCs, I gave my money 6 mo. before I needed to and  I darn sure knew this thing was not doable in anything less than 6-9 mo.

that's the absolute bottom ($25 mil.)


I do not know.
Right now somebody is more than happy to sell you 54 BTC worth of BTSX at 0.01049 (i.e. at your absolute bottom price)

BitSharesX is much better than NXT  even now we are on a testing phase !!!
Imagine that beast out 
Let's say I am over optimistic  and I am wrong...
Let's say they are indentical... NXT market cap is wright now at $50 mil.
don't you think we diserve more than $25 mil.? 

PS I can imagine that the first Days the price will jump up and down, ok, but when the prizes stabilizes it is obvious that it can't be under $25mil. isn't it?

I know that 90% of the 20-30 most active posters here wear  pom-poms at all times and want to contribute nothing else  in 80% of their posts other than ‘We/Bitshares will be great one day.’ The great potential is something with which I generally agree. I just find useless and annoying this to be repeated in every post. I know that you 'dani lion' have your all-important, simi- leading cheerleading role in this stadium. But the topic is ‘BTSX trade is open on btc38’… I know the OP put it in the Marketing sub-forum for unclear reasons, but if you have great marketing insight or just want to say the same old you post 10 times a day, post it in some of the other threads meant for general cheerleading…

In this thread ‘absolute bottom’ means the lowest price for XYZ, not ‘[we have] absolutely [great] [ass]/bottom’

We don't have hidden secrets... we reveal things as we figure them out, often before we probably should.

Agreed!  Saying 'we have not decided' is far better on insisting for 2 mo. that you will do something stupid and all of sudden 2 days before the trading starts, come to your senses and do the right thing.
