Dantheman has explained the issue with the OP much better than I ever could.

I also believe in the future of the network and the BTS token but choose to short fiat, provide liquidity and trade on our DEX.
Yes it is a great analysis of the finer points of the differences.
I started this in response to the call from the #2 largest proxy in telegram saying he would support witnesses that would participate in such a 'lockup of bts' sort of arrangement. I thought this would be interesting to see if other proxies would make such a commitment and if this might create some kind of shakeup/competition.
It's been disappointing to see that not only did the proxy not change any of his voting patterns, no other proxies took to this little experiment.
I see no reason why witnesses should offer to lock up BTS at this point, as other players within the system who seemed to claim value in such action seem unwilling to reward it with their voter support, and other proxies have not given any consideration to this move.
Anyway.. I saw this as a fun little experiment as I mentioned earlier on to see if it would make an impact in any way in the political space of the witnesses and it didn't.
Much more important for bitshares to answer is why question.
