Exactly what kind of glowing response do you expect by calling someone 'satan Larimer'?!

I'm working on writing a series of articles aimed at less technical people, explaining bitshares.
The first article was well received, https://steemit.com/money/@karnal/bringing-bitshares-to-a-wider-audience
Stay tuned, at least two should be out this week! I planned to write a bit over the weekend, but it was great weather, went out camping.
That's true, active markets for the bitAssets could make it work.There is actually something bitshares could learn from steem. Steem doesn't give away STEEM tokens to content creators for posting their BS. Instead, they use STEEM as collateral to issue steem dollars, which they give away. This is actually smart approach, because such a giveaway does not cause a dilution. Bitshares could do the same, even better. Instead of paying workers BTS, committee could use the reserve as collateral to issue smart coins and pay a worker with smart coin of his/her choice. This would fill the market with different bitAssets. The only dilution would come from forced settlements. Right now the reserve is enough to issue over 2M bitUSD, and as the reserve gets filled with collected fees, more could be issued.This could be a great idea, but it probably requires a good gateway to fiat for the bit assets being paid out. So it would probably work now for workers willing to be paid in bitCNY, but not in bitUSD.
They could be paid in any bitAssets of their choice. When they want to cash out, they would convert their bitAssets to OPEN.USD or OPEN.BTC, or do it whatever way they prefer. Even if they dump their bitAssets for BTS, it would not dilute BTS.
We had to temporarily disable a number of wallets due to loading problems. We've redistributed the load and re-enabled the Bitshares wallet, so you can once again buy BTS via https://blocktrades.us.
I have clearly have no purchased BTS in a while because when i went to blocktrades to convert some BTC to BTS i discovered its not listed anymore. Meta exchange are closing their doors. Openledger in the wallet dont have BTS listed.
Where are other people doing to buy BTS?
Thanks
Michael
Bitshares had its prime time too. As I can recall, it passed ripple and became the no.2 highest market cap. To take a long story short, what happened then caused bitshares fell to the market cap of today. I couldn't tell if the same thing will happen to steem, but I strongly feel that we should keep going on the current route, and make bitshares more appealing in more practical use cases, and never look back.
Well stated. I don't think we are going to see real success from market manipulations. Utility and adoption are what have kept Bitcoin in the lead even with all its problems. Tipping point is coming. I honestly don't know if it will ever really make a difference in the way our market cap goes, but at the end of the day there is just one number that really matters... users.
Hallo, again could you give us some feedback?
Does this new settlement fee improve liquidity and interest in CNY?
@bitcrab
before this change the supply of bitCNY is less than 800K, now it is 1100K and keep on increasing...
going ahead, bitCNY will be used as trade base in many markets.
FWIW- Dan first proposed most of the things he is doing in Steem here to the Bitshares community. You guys cut off his funding for said proposals- stating they were either unnecessary or declaring that inflation for development/improvements = bad. It is kind of the Bitshares' community's fault he has moved on from Bitshares to Steem. An employee must get paid for his work, or else he will look elsewhere for an employer that will pay him for working. Failure to see that to make a few dollars you have to spend a few dollars is entirely on the Bitshares' community. Short term greed stymied Bitshares and will be its eventual downfall.
No one cut off his funding. Dan never even created a worker proposal. Total bullshit saying that BTS won't pay for any development as there are 2 workers being paid already.
this. don't twist the facts please @CoinHoarder
Not this. Don't abuse your power as a moderator @fav. This is not a random discussion.
steem is an alternative currency and has nothing to do with bitshares. moved as usual
So a discussion of how Steem and BitShares complement/compete with each other in the coming months is not relevant? Most of the posts in this thread seem to me to be more about Bitshares.
@Stan:
Thanks and all of that makes sense to me. My question is HOW any of these directly benefits BTS. Unless i misunderstood BMs post, i think he was saying that Steemit would create their own smartcoins and UIAs and not the Bitshares ones.
BM and I have split up the workload, each doing what we do best.
He makes babies and, like any good grandfather, I help raise them.
All of my attention plus an all-star team of Forum Heroes and Fresh Talent are focused on maximizing the BitShares ecosystem. Patience.

I wouldn't say Total BS. It was clear that, no matter how many proposals we wasted time on in the prevailing anti-dilution environment, there would not be enough near-term funding to sustain The Team from only the BTS oil well. Hence the imperative to drill more. The problem with being forced to start drilling is that, once you strike oil somewhere, you tend to get a little distracted.
Note that Cryptonomex is still drilling several more wells, for the exact same reason.
Every one of those would directly benefit BTS if we hit a gusher.
