UPDATE: Wow, I'm glad I sold.

[islandking]

BTS is experiencing a really telling collapse right now.

I'm so happy I sold ALL of my BTS at 4800. Best decision ever.

I haven't been active on here for a long time but after re reading everything that's happening with you guys. Unfortunately this project is going to hell. Because of disorganization, lack of focus, sloppy websites/products and confusion.

Its a mess. Not saying to sell now, but I don't see this growing or going anywhere meaningful at all. But hey maybe you'll get pumped back up to 4,000 sats. and if that happens I'd highly suggest selling.

I bet your conclusions are a result of only a price chart "study"and nothing else....
I strongly advice you to use a hosted wallet for 5 minutes ONLY and come back! https://bitshares.openledger.info

PS maybe you own some bitAssets or vested balances also ... (but that's a too hard work for you to find out,if I am wrong just take a look/study and come back again...)

Im happy for you.

We might have been sloppy in the past, but have you seen how fast & usable the webwallet is now? Add to that we are finally deflationary!

Good time to buy back in.

The team ignore that the biggest user experience is like things making migration easier, notifying exchanges when upgrade.
It is not at the UI, but how smooth people use it. When people want to use 2.0, everyone have to migrate, and the team strangely do not think it important.
The result is, no one is actually responsible for bitshares.

We both pointed it out to the dev team and they got the message. Now lets cut them some slack and give them an opportunity to respond to feedback which unlike most teams they actually do respond to feedback.

I think Bitshares 2.0 is actually on an excellent track. Remember Windows wasn't an instant success. No one remembers Windows 1.0
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_1.0
Or Windows 2.0

Or Windows 3.0


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_3.0

It wasn't until Windows 3.1 and specifically Windows 95 before the world really took notice and the personal computer went from being a toy for nerds to being something everyone had to have. Bitshares is only on 2.0, it might take another year or two before the big breakthrough which could be Bitshares 3.0 or Bitshares 2017 or whatever.

The point? It takes years to build a new industry, to build a new market. It took years for people to get on the Internet. The Internet didn't start catching on until 1998-2000ish.

Bitshares has a pretty strong foundation, something to build from. Bitshares 3.0 should be far superior than Bitshares 2.0. Bitshares 3.0 should have perfected the UX and UI, and have everything necessary to be a decentralized NASDAQ/Forex and more.

It may take same more time for bts to catch on, but I doubt it will be years... everything moves so much faster now than it did when Microsoft was first released.

If BTS is going to be successful, I would expect the market cap to be over 200 million by this time next year

Good for you. Ppl come and go like you make bts community always have some fresh blood....[emoji12] .

[jimmykorea]

its very simple we are at a marketcap of around 10m. If the excnage gets 10m of assets converted into USD, GOLD etc then guess what the price of BTS has to at least double to compensate for the loss of BTS locked into assets.

I think the UI needs work but as bitshares develops it will so then who wants to use an unsafe decentralised exchange when they can store their digital assets 100% safely? My point is Bitshares is unlikelt to fail.....it just needs time, no exchange got big in a week.


If you don't buy back in now then you have really congratulated yourself for selling Bitcoin at 50 cents. Good luck short term guy...

I think a big reason for this massive upgrade is that they DO NOT want this to keep happening. As of this moment, there are still very few people using BitShares, so such a transition could occur. In essence, we have been the beta testers. Hopefully, we won't need to go through this sort of thing again in a big way. In the next phase, there will be more adopters.

Never heard of Pizza Day Islandking?

[nomoreheroes7]

To be fair, BTS isn't experiencing a "telling collapse" right now, it's been batting around the 8-15 million cap for most of 2015 (currently about 11 million)...also to be fair pretty much all crypto has been stagnant this year (aside from random pumps that always fizzle out).

I used to think you were cool islandking. Guess there's only room for one king on this island.

 


(but seriously I miss ya buddy)

[donkeypong]

Personally, I'm glad you sold, too. It shows an absence of long term vision on your part and I'm not sure I want people like that around. I probably bought your BTS! 

[Pheonike]

Thanks for doing the bare minimum to support the platform.

[Ben Mason]

Some of us are trying to build a civilisation enhancing network but thanks for stopping by. Personally I'm happy if you are happy.

[xeroc]

seems you studied the product in depth and know what you are talking about ..
