There is not that much to talk about now.

The product is stable.  No new features are being added other than maybe stealth at some point.  Not really any new projects.

Personally I think steem is just a giant circle jerk of people that post shit content in the hopes of getting upvoted by a whale.  The people that are making money are usually chicks who post half naked pictures while useful post get completely buried by crap.

The whole scheme of making money to like posts on the internet is extremely shady to me.  The pump was also a giant just a manipulation of CMC.

You have the facts completely wrong.  Plus you have zero vision.  Zero.

I am still yet to hear any convincing reason why this proposal could have a negative effect on bitshares.
Is there a consensus among the committee that demand for BitUSD is not the issue, it is the supply of BitUSD that is the issue?
If not from a worker proposal where does the committee suggest this supply should come from?

Another solution would fit nicely would be that all worker proposals are paid in BitUSD but this would require a hard fork.

bitCNY supply has almost tripled since the optimization recommended by bitcrab...

If we want bitUSD to become more liquid and have a tighter peg, we have a proven template... without the need to tap the reserve funds

Coincidence does not necessarily mean causality.

Our chief expectation should be making the system more productive and useful and from there it will grow.

I like the new platform, but still feel left out due to that ags issue. No ags > no graphene > no steemit.

This statement is completely false.
All AGS was able to do is get to BitShares 0.9.3c, with Vote, DNS, Play, and Muse all sucking wind looking for funding.  Yet to this day AGS holders are still gaining vesting BTS shares.

The Cryptonomex team spent a whole year developing Graphene on its own sweat equity .  Yet, still gave it all away to the community.

Then we spun off Steemit with new players and their new sweat equity building on Graphene but nothing that was originally funded by PTS/AGS/BTS.

Now Cryptonomex is working to do even more for this community with even more resources that do not come from BTS, AGS, or PTS.

I don't know what it takes to earn trust around here, but I am not impressed with the entitlement attitudes that imply we can never do enough.

How about delivering something to the BTS community instead of just "new investment opportunities".  I think everyone here has had enough of buying the next best thing (AGS/PTS/DNS/Brownies/BTS0.9/BTS2/Steem).

There were constant pump posts to buy bts based on "summer announcements" that never came to fruition.  Investors here feel like they were promised business development, but when everything fell through Bytemaster just jumped ship to a new platform.  It didn't help that he promoted doing sharedrops and abandoned this on the first new chain that he created.

You are saying CNX is doing things behind the scenes, but that has been the story for the last year... Nothing has been seen or delivered other than 2.0 itself.  This would all be cleared up if CNX created a worker proposal for a collateralized bond market or maker taker.

...and that's why I no longer publish details about what we are working on.  90% of all leads fail.  I tried sharing this stuff with you but all I got were posts like this.    Now you'll just have to wait and be surprised.

Then why did you even ask what it takes to earn trust around here?

I'm guessing you knew what the answer would be.  Why not comment on the idea of doing a worker proposal?

Proposals are based in part on what resources are available to work on them.
Resources are hired based on the availability of stable funding.
A constant battle over who controls the funding light switch means no one dares hire against any line item.
So the resources remain allocated elsewhere

Hi All,

From the outside it looks to me as if the founder and chief architect has moved on to greener pastures... ie Dan is the founder of Steem which is going off right now, worth millions etc

We have people handing down gratuitous "Thank You" posts as they cash out there hundreds of thousands in Steem shares, oh this is just wonderful... except I don't have any Steem shares. I am in Bitshares, perhaps stupidly believing the mantra of "long term investment"?

Is there anyone else here? Is there still a dev team? Is it business as usual, or is Bitshares dead in the water?

I too had a bit of a rude awakening when Steem ran up the CMC pole and am now educating myself as to what's gone on in the past six months with Dan et al.

My read at this point is that Steem is a potentially *massive* crypto project that was gamed to provide a much-needed capital injection for the Bitshares core dev team. There are now quite a few brilliant and motivated Bitshares devs that don't have to worry about bills for a while. Wonder what they'll get up to?

Yes, I'm a little pissed there wasn't more effort made to include the AGS/PTS crowd via sharedrop per the 'social contract'. However, doing so would make less capital available to the dev team, where it can be used to create exponentially greater value in getting Bitshares off the ground.

I have already substantially increased my BTS holdings and suspect many other investors are doing the same. Bitshares is a crypto that will be absolutely stunning when it gains momentum - biggest thing holding it back are the speed bumps of liquidity and payroll... and the steemroller just fired up. I still believe that Bitshares will be the first trillion-dollar crypto-asset. Where Bitcoin was designed primarily as a store of value... Bitshares was designed as an entirely new global financial system. I'm looking for $1 BTS in <12 months. Said that a few times now, but I'm going to keep saying it until I'm right.

Buy, hodl, prosper. I'm still pissed though.
