pretty disappointing BTS bashing from PB, nothing of substance, but lots of annoying language to compel readers to agree with opinion for opinion's sake. every point against BTS or our products should be listed as a legitimate risk item, not a condemnation of the concept. we're experimenting with new financial technology, of course it's going to be risky; that's no reason not to keep experimenting and improving.

viva la BTS!

He misunderstood a few concepts. Also he made out BitAssets probably wouldn't survive a 50% price decline but BTS fell over 90% peak to trough and the peg held. So he's mostly been proven wrong.

great point...bitassets surviving a 90% BTS plunge is a hell of a real world stress test! how do you think they'll handle a 900% price jump?

He's right that the Bitcoin community is extremely narrow-minded. But he's only half a step ahead of them.

Half a step ahead is still ahead...
Very interested in his movements though

I think PB's whole thing has been that he wants companies to use the blockchain for a smart ledger system. His new outfit calls this smart contracts, but I'll bet you he sees it primarily as a ledger for banks, etc. He's right that it's certainly usable that way, but he's repeatedly failed to comprehend the greater possibilities. And he's proven himself a real jackass in denouncing these without taking the time to understand their basics.

Yes, none other than the bitMarmot Man himself:

Here is his new website:

I wonder how much further along in his development process he would be if he had not wasted 6 months of his life bashing BitShares?  Why did he suddenly change his tune? I guess we'll never know.  First he laughed at us, then fought us... now:
