mf-tzo,
I have been re-purchasing BitShares in the last couple of days. I sold a lot when it jumped over 30 cents, but now it has come back down to earth.
Just because I have not posted anything here it does not mean I'm a new user. I have followed BitShares for a while but can't see why having more supply/liquidity is a good thing. In several other ICOs/tokens such as OBITS, Iconomi etc, burning tokens is said to make the remaining tokens more valuable. Having "Reserve" BitShares in a pool makes them useless in my opinion.
