Bitshares on the economist

[ElMato]

Again, lets use every possible opportunity to talk about BitShares whenever someone talks about TheDao or DAO (the concept).

@mike623317 strange I don't need a subscription

Schemes of this kind have not done well. The crowd may have wisdom, but not a lot of commitment. Similar but smaller vehicles operated by a firm called BitShares, for instance, are suffering from a lack of participation in votes, in large part because it takes time and energy to consider proposals. Investors in the DAO can also withdraw money not yet committed to a project at will. This means that the $150m in ether could quickly vanish into the, er, blue if investors got nervous.

Thank you for doing that.
