Re: Why Dividends?
Add together all the Bitshares that are created in a given block and all the transaction fees. Half of this goes directly to the miner, then the other half of this is distributed among the holders of Bitshares. So, if you own 1% of all Bitshares, you will get 1% of the dividends

Re: Why Dividends?
It seems that part of the dividends are from transactoin/trade fees? not sure.

Dividends pay for BitAssets, drive motivation of creation/own BitAssets? sorry, that just my current understanding.

Why Dividends?
I was wondering as to what the incentive of paying out dividends for BTS owners would be?

Also I was unclear on how much dividends BTS owners receive over time, I read the post where you mentioned it was by blocks mined?

Let's say you hold 100 BTS and 1000 blocks (we'll assume each block has a solid 50 for this example) are mined on the network, how many Bitshares would you gain by holding these initial 100?
