You do know that you can list a bunch of "problems" for the most advanced aircraft carrier right ?

The competitive edge of Bitcoin is the liquidity , marketcap , network effect , not technology .

You can bash bitcoin's technology all you want , but in the end you would just push away a major community that's open minded enough to invest in something "so lame , so slow , so old" . If they're opened minded for something "so lame" , imagine what they would see in BitShares if you present it well ?

The best way to achieve the success for BitShares is to grow the whole crypto and blockchain industry instead of hoping people would abandon bitcoin and come to jesus .

Like it or not , Bitcoin will grow , the blockchain industry will grow , multiple projects will grow , even the ones lamer than Bitshares , even the ones who refuse to take BitShares's technology , even the ones with 1 hour confirmation . And investors are investing in the whole industry instead of a single project now .

You have to adjust your expectations . You don't need people to sell their bitcoin and buy Bitshares . You need people to buy Bitcoin and Bitshares because they're both awesome .

And there are many ways to show how awesome something is . Making people think they're not wise enough to choose your product is not a good way . At least not a good way for a project that's suppose to gain the most network effect as possible .

Come back to the question in OP . It's not a matter of "good" or "bad" or "problems" , it's about the suitableness in specific applications . You should link the features to a specific application to sell it , such as high volume stock trading .

Imagine a world where people use Bitcoin as currency in a major way , and businessmen use BItShares to issue and trade stocks , and Bitcoin would be still slow , lame as hell . So what ? Who says that's not a win for BitShares if other project still succeed with lame features while BitShares also succeeded ?

  I like this kind of thinking

I really do too. i hope everyone currently involved in the crypto experiment can re-align and benefit together. Competition has fostered some incredible innovation but we need to focus on partnerships and working together wherever possible.

 

Please carry on, your daily escapades are most interesting.

 

Do you prefer to put this on meetup.com or keep it small? How have you handled that in that past?

Hi delulo 

We haven't used meetup.com before, but it would be great to start using it. Count me in for tomorrow as well. I would like to propose meeting place for tomorrow: BrewDog Camden, 113 Bayham Street, Camden Town London, NW1 0AG,  https://www.brewdog.com/bars/uk/camden
I am flexible if anybody else has different proposal.

Aloha

It's not enough ever.

I was totally in support of minebitshares, but 3 delegates plus rgcrypto is absurd. Plus what do they make in fees? As long as they have delegates, their fee intake should be public info.

Same goes for Metaexchange.  I see hardly anyone uses it so fees are rather null at this point. Then you should ask, how much and how long should a site that isn't being used be allowed to get 100% delegate funds?

What exactly are the Chinese marketing delegates contributing at this point?  Let's get beyond the fact that they did something awhile ago, like make a website or two. What are they doing now to be allowed to keep earning?

So far it seems like, if you get voted in and you don't rustle the leaves you get to drain the system for free. I thinks lot of delegates are nearing a 750,000 BTS earned, while he Devs are near 1,000,000.

750,000X $.006= $4500 today's prices

$9000 at the highs this year
$2700 at the low this year

I know all of you expect BTS to increase. So hasn't everybody earned enough to retire on if BTS goes where you think it's going to go? Do these marketers really not have a real everyday job that pays their bills or are you telling me everyone of the delegates quits their full time real world jobs to live off delegate pay?

I think it's time you guys ask yourselves these questions. Never mind about me and how much you despise me. Think about everything every delegate has done and whether they have delivered and need the pay, delivered and dont need the pay or delivered and have been paid in excess according to what they produced?

Are all these guys going to need their delegate pay to hand over to Cryptonomex for compatibility with the Bitshares network and setting up?

Are we still waiting on whatever point oh for a marketing push?

Is some of the delegated content creating multiple streams of revenue?

Is everyone transparent?

If this only was the OP .. then people would listen to you more closely.
That said, I totally agree and I am getting tiered of asking paid delegates to publish reports on a regular basis .. there definitely is a lack of transparency ..

unlike most of his posts this one is legit in my opinion.

I'd be interested to hear from each delegate on a monthly basis too.

This is like all of his posts, 20% "truth" combined with 80% "newmine tactics". It could be "legit" if he said something like "Hey, I think that 1,2,5,10 or 15 delegates out of 36 are not contributing enought to bitshares, what are you guys doing? I want some updates".

I agree though that “A wise man can learn more from his enemies than a fool from his friends”.

 

Organised few meetups in London and never sold any of my bitshares.
