In hindsight!!! ...
share dropping BTS on PTS is the most stupid idea ever, beating 'the newly minted 500Mil BTS in the merger' by wide wide margin
Yeah I agree. PTS was a fast mine, and then we gave some whales huge BTS positions as a result. If PTS had been a more fairly distributed PoW coin mined over a longer period of time, things wouldve turned out better, we wouldnt have had such big whales controlling the fate of BTS.
Alternately, if all of BTS had been an ICO, it would also have been better. More money for devs and/or smaller supply, with all the BTS holders having actually paid money for it, so they dont have a desire to dump it at a big loss.
But anyway, we have only 7 more months of inflation from the merger, and then BTS inflation goes from around 12% a year to 1% or so. This will be like our super-halvening. I think BTS will finally be able to rise again once the merger inflation stops. Two years of low prices, thats what the merger caused.
