It's starting to look like we could do the unthinkable: pass Litecoin by standing pat. Either our client is ready first or Litecoin could 'surpass' us. Apparently, fewer people are mining.

Damn gravity !!!

Yes it's good :) No.4 should be ours again soon.

LTC is weak too, trying to pay $2 million to miners a month in a bear market is simply not sustainable.

I don't think they should be taken this lightly.

They have the the resourceful Gawminers backing them and a huge community hashtalk.org supporting them. Just checkout their IRC #Gawminers , #XPY .Its quite active to say the least.

There is also a lot of hype around the launch of their coinbase competitor , paybase.com/

They are good with their PR.
Their websites , videos are mass appealing and they have already managed to get articles out in major publications.

They are looking to buy out companies left and right .They have made investments in GOcoin ,have already bought the exchange coin-swap.net and may buy out shapeshift.io soon and many more acquisitions to come according to Josh Garza ,CEO of Gawminers twitter.com/gawceo

They have set out a ambitious plan to become the go to digital currency for the masses and it will be quite interesting to watch how successful they become in implementing it.

Oops My bad!Looks like it's a hyped up centralized scam coin after all.

They have created the coin with the help of some big players to divert attention from their failing cloud mining ponzi.

The number 4 position they are enjoying won't last long as more and more people realize their game.

Yes, being good with PR brings great $$$ rewards.

I don't think their website is that good though, I think MethodX is working on improving ours.

Their video's aren't great either, is this their best one? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TFDUDSm7bI0
I can edit something better I think. In fact if I combine an idea MethodX seeded, we would have a similar themed, 'global currency + community' advert

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_W8ZekJ4eSk That one of theirs is really bad.

Point taken Empirical, but I don't think the threat lays in the quality of their individual efforts, but in the effectiveness of their coordination.  the whole being larger than the sum of this parts, as it were.  We need to mirror this type of effort at BTS and hopefully we have finally gotten around to getting going.  It is however, unfortunate that we are getting to the point where we have completely squandered out lead out the gate.  Soon we may have no high ground, and we will be fighting the public awareness battle toe to toe with our competitors.

Yeah. I think we are getting going. I think the Chinese side is leading the way and is capable of great things once they overcome BitShares PR problems & if a handful of guys like Method, HPEnvy, Matt were a bit more incentivised, & with more to work with than their 1 100% delegate, I think we'd start to be in the game. POW is definitely weak right now. Bitcoin is paying $1 million a day to miners and hardly any of the retailers that accept BTC hold it, so the more utility it gains and the more purchases that are made the more downward pressure on price almost.

You have a good point, we need to find a way around the budget limitation that comes with the delegate system at this low level of market cap. 

Agree with you that DPOS is currently our big advantage, but it won't be that way forever...

Same as it ever was, development strong, but marketing weak. If we can empower the marketing team & work on PR, we can correct that.

What am I excited about?

- Bitshares is so far ahead of the curve with regards to understanding the potential of and developing DACs  in so many exciting areas.
- On the technical front it seems like Dan is a few moves ahead, anticipating problems other people aren't even thinking about yet and already implementing solutions to solve them.
- Bitshares X,  the value proposition is just so clear vs. the existing status quo, this one DAC & its successors can completely change the face of finance. Woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What am I worried about?

- Social consensus, third parties that haven't been working with Invictus honouring AGS/PTS  - Personally I don't necessarily see that happening.
- Dan heavy, if something happened to Dan, my investment would be worth a lot less. (But I guess that is the case with a lot of companies in the beginning.)   
- Marketing, it's very good (Really liking the evolution of the website)  but it's not incredible yet.
Particularly with regards to advertising, I would like to see more videos and adverts, that I can share with friends. (I know they're coming... slowly :) )
I also think anticipation with regards to how the market and public will respond to certain product and branding decisions might not at the same gifted level as other areas. When marketing strong talent weak vultures start preying on some DAC's before they become established this could surface as a potential vulnerability.

Yea, they finalized their logo just yesterday.It is still quite early ,their videos and site will be polished soon enough but are quite "catchy" already. Rumors of A TV commercial is also flying around.

They have set out some of their goals here http:// teampaycoin.com/
Would love to see something like this for us.

Good to see you guys working hard to get the community effect rolling.
