AMAZING thanks for sharing this, I hadn't heard about it!  A similar project:

I agree with the post from the blog that being humble and making not too bold claims comes across as more trustworthy!

In your analysis the following didn't make sense to me:

and in order to pay them back the shorts have to sell their collateral

The collateral (BTSX) is held by the system in order to be able to guarantee the long position that it can be paid out any time. Not selling of BTSX is necessary. No?

Ah ok, well if that's the case that is a bit better.  This will be a fascinating experiment.

bitXAU or bitGold I would much prefer! 

So no women at all in our community...

How can we attract them? Maybe make a fashion DAC someone or something??

LOL

"BitGold is a promise to pay 1 oz of gold worth of BTSX"

I was thinking the other night that once the client is stable no amount of marketing will be too much. 

The scope of what Bitshares-X can potentially do is staggering. 

I think we need to 'attack' as many of the potential markets as possible with an army of marketers. 

We need to attack the forex market to encourage trade of bitcurrencies, all the major world currencies are targets.  Then there's the gold + silver markets for bitGLD + bitSLV, and every large commodity market such as  Oil, gas, food commodities such as wheat, corn, bananas, cocoa, hemp, you name it (market research for listing the largest markets is obviously essential, I have no idea which are largest).  We need marketers targeted at all these markets and more.

I'm not on the official team and have no idea what is planned and I don't know the inner workings of the team and I'm confident whatever it is will be great. However, more will definitely be better.

I would guess that if the team leaders got behind a community/stakeholder driven marketing funding to raise say $500k or more people would chip in and it could be done without too much difficulty.  I myself would donate a few thousand BTSX right away, 10K if enough others did too.  The increased confidence caused by raising a nice fat *extra* marketing fund would result in more buying quickly replenishing the market cap.

I'm not sure how many full time professional marketers we actually have, is it just one? 

My thinking is probably premature as I don't know what's coming and I could be a bit off on the target markets as I'm still learning about Bitshares-X, but I thought I'd just throw this idea out there.

lolol
