What do you mean "We still don't know how exactly short positions will port over"??
We do know. Shorts positions will rolover in the new system and people will be able to cover if they wish by buying bitusd closer to the peg due to higher liquidity and demand for bts and bitusd. So essentially anyone who shorts bitusd now will most likely earn the bitusd peg difference between now and post bts 2 that is like 15-20%?
Your incentive not to short bitusd now is that you believe that bts will be 20% less when bts2 launches that is @ $11 mil market cap..
Personally I am surprised that bts is again at $14 mil. I would think that by now we would be at $40 mil..
Just remember and compare with ripple. BTS can do anything that ripple does and much much more. Ripple has a market cap of $650 mil (taking into account the 100 bil xrps) and bitshares has a market cap of $14 mil, that is c50 times lower..
On the other side crypto is a strange market and logic doesn't apply many times. But probability wise I think bullish is in favor of bearish..So I would definitely advise potential investors to jump on BTS now. On the other side getting cheap BTS is also very tempting to keep it low profile at the moment. I am not in a hurry to sell my BTS at these levels
