Looks like ETH topped and the money is flowing into other coins now, Doge is getting most of it.

Not really quietly I think, it did it pretty loudly. 
Ethereum is much better than Ripple, so I approve.
Would be nice to see Bitshares come to life, ever. Many crypto projects are doing well, like Ethereum and Factom. Maybe people will eventually take a look at Bitshares again.
Also Litecoin really needs to die. In terms of pure currency cryptos, Monero should take its place as the backup to Bitcoin, as it is the best proof of work crypto, it does the best job of acheiving the initial goals of Bitcoin of decentralizaiton, security, and privacy. Bitcoin is very clearly tracable and not private at this point, so Monero and Dash have potential there. Dash's masternode solution is actually similar to Bitshares DPoS in some ways, but I think it will eternally be plagued by premine accusaitons, so I am less bullish on it.

« on: January 14, 2016, 09:58:52 pm »BTS fully recovered from the crash and is over 800. Hold over 800 and there is hope.
(Because I post someone will probably market dump it down 100+ sats, because someone out there hates me).
lol... I don't think so...They probably wait until I buy some bts @800 and then it will crash to 500..
No, it pretty much dropped 10% immediately after i posted, as I expected.

« on: January 10, 2016, 09:35:42 pm »I am new with BTS. Bought my first BTS at BTER.com but found immediately out that you cannot withdraw. Strange that I did research before but could not find any quotes on internet about any issues with BTS. Made a ticket at BTER and hope will not have to wait as long as I do at Cryptsy.com. Decentralization is the future in my opinion. A very open communication too. Even if there is a problem on some websites.
Bter never upgraded to 2.0 so any BTS there are worthless.

« on: January 08, 2016, 07:18:50 pm »
No, its not a surge when the price crashes, and then the next way goes only part of the way back up. It needs to get over 800 and thus recover more than 100% of the crash before its a good sign.

This is the dumbest idea ever and would be a great way to make people think BTS is a joke.

« on: January 08, 2016, 12:47:30 am »WOW! Hold the horse. There is only one correct form of dividend: putting real money into my wallet on regular schedule. All other forms of dividend is scam. BTS delivers no dividend. Zero. For this reason, it is nothing more than a collateral token. This is a good reason to keep it, but don't tell people that it is something more than it is.
Warren Buffet would disagree with you, and the empirical evidence that this method can work is Berkshire Hathaway.
Go tell about how your method can work to your clients. Cheers.
Its not 'my method', its a perfectly valid method of returning value to shareholders.
You can return value in two ways: A Dividend, or a Share Buyback. Many tech companies for example have stated a preference for share buyback over dividends.
BTS uses the share buyback model, not the dividend model. Its a perfectly valid model, used by many large companies.

Bts has lost 90% 0f its value since above article was published.
Correlation is not causation. We had a marketing director, we had a merger, things got a little ugly.
If Preston Byrne had said that BTS was overhyped and was too early in its alpha stage to be worth its valuation, then he would have been correct. Instead he posted a bearish article on BTS for reasons that were mostly wrong, but ended up being right in the sense that BTS went down. (As have most altcoins).

If the focus is going to be stealth, then the development of gambling features should probably be right behind it or in parallel. Then at least you can combine stealth and gambling and provide something potentially useful.
Bonds, combined with a margin trading service similar to poloniex should be a priority.
Prediction markets (which is sort of like gambling but different) should be a priority.
While I have mostly given up, if BTS is going to make a recovery at some point, how it will happen is that at least one of these things is implemented and starts to get some use. And then another of them, etc. At this point I am beyond caring what order they are implemented but it would be nice to see at least one of them implemented ever.

You shouldn't hold it unless you want to borrow bitAsset. It is a collateral token, nothing more.
This is not true, and if it were true there would be no reason to hold BTS.
BTS also represents a share in the value of profit made from services provided by the Bitshares blockchain, such as exchange, transfers, etc. Currently this profit doesnt exist because its speculative phase, but if it reached enough adoption to generate a profit, this profit would go to BTS holders by a dividend in the form of a reduction in the BTS supply, and thus an increase in the value of each individual BTS.
