I've posted on this forum under a pseudonym before.  I feel it is necessary to share my opinion with others regarding the recent events.

I've been a longtime investor and believer in Bitshares.  I was following I3 before Protoshares was released.  I stayed up late and mined PTS from day one.  I bought AGS and BTSX.  I too wanted to see BTSX succeed.

Throughout the past couple of months, I've seen things which have made me uneasy about I3 and their intentions towards investors, but I kept quiet, hoping I was wrong.  It's become abundantly clear with their recent decision that I3 is only looking out for their own interests at the expense of their investors/supporters.  This is unfortunate.  I believed their word and took the social contract at face value.  I thought they were honest and trustworthy and under this logic advised others to invest in BTSX.  I cannot sit by any longer and support what I believe is simply a long con on investors.

To this end, I have accumulated a large position in PTS/AGS/BTSX which I will be liquidating.  I will attempt to do this slowly as to not erode my wealth and others.  I wish this community all the best and I do hope you are successful in your goals.  I initially got interested in Bitshares because I thought it was going to be the next Bitcoin.  I do not believe this anymore.  I have studied crypto extensively and come to the conclusion that NXT has the biggest chance of becoming the next Bitcoin.  This is where I will be allocating my capital.

"Peter", if you are going away then post so on your old account.  What a load of rubbish.
I speak for myself and only myself.

If you are serious, you're going to look back on this as the biggest mistake of your life. I'm not an old-timer like you claim to be, but I see nothing but critical thinkers around here. We are NOT sheep. If something completely unfair was being done, we would be the FIRST to call bytemaster and co out on it.

I wish you luck in your future investments. After you liquidate, enjoy your profits.

If you'd like to provide proof that you're PL I can facilitate it without alerting the entire world of your involvement in BTS.

The NXT plug made me laugh by the way
Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

You do realize that people think you're a joke because this is your first post under this account.  If you don't actually disclose your pseudonym, then why would anyone around here think you were anything but a NXT shill.  You could be making a genuine post, but its a genuine post disguised as dog poo.

Lol  :) Nice try, especially the NXT plug   :P

The developers are super honest. DNS was super illiquid and they own a lot of PTS, it would have been super easy to adjust the prices of the pieces before the merger allocation. The market move showed me there is no insider trading at all here, in fact they've gone out of their way to help the DNS guys that lost in the announcement. Also in all the parts of the deal, the key talent is the one taking a hit. In terms of honesty and integrity, a better team, there is none imo.

Sorry that flexibility and being adaptive and transparency are not things that you value.

Nice attempt to affect the market Why would you have to post under a pseudonym if you're a long term supporter?

Dump if you want. We've got BitUSD, BitGLD, and it all works.

Also since you're "out", what was your other pseudonym and are you expecting us to believe you are this Peter Lynch?

Are you this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lynch ?
This could be as well manipulation from anyone wishing to cloud the horizon for Bitshares.
