I do not... but I am being proven wrong by the minute... there are buyer(s) on both bter and btc38...

Did you see this post? The last line especially could be relevant -

We are working with some of the best marketing gurus in the industry and are planning the assault. 

This is the primary focus of our trip to st marten.   

All I know is some people with serious money are about to buy into btsx and market the hell out of it.

Actually, I think this line IS the reason for that. Call me naïve or stupid, but I do think so.

So at least I kept a solid core position.
If the bold is not true, I think you are missing the train, by the minute... :)

I myself could not buy enough in the 125-133 range... :-*

I mean I am using only a tiny fraction to go in/out. I've done this waaay to many times in the past where I was right at picking the time to get in, then got out too soon. Learned my lesson the hard way.

E.g. I got a shit ton of TSLA around $30, sold it at $45 in few months, thinking what a great return. But should have kept a core position. Still kicking myself on that one, but at least it will be a reminder to never let that happen again.

Wow, train is taking off? I'm a bit nervous... this is too good to be true... I got out at 0.000015-0.000018, got in as low as 0.00001252. Yes I can't believe I captured the absolute low at 1252... go figure.

My biggest worry is I will get out with large portion and miss on the big move up - i.e. being dollar foolish, penny wise.

So at least I kept a solid core position.

I don't see it going that low unless it is done by concerted effort of a bunch of whales who want to buy cheap.

Some posts this week were pretty discouraging, btw.

As in the new tech 'DPOS' needing mining in a push up move...??!!!???

wait what? are you talking about the mining pool that auto-converts to btsx, or did somebody suggest that (somehow) mining should be implemented in dpos?

Yes, the mining pool idea... it is a tiny push... perceived as a desperate effort, and a sign of weakness more than anything else..
My opinion only, again.

you're referencing your prediction of a correction down to like 8 million in a different thread, right?

Yes...
And do not say traders do not read forums... there were, pretty hard kickers on this forum today....

your numbers might have been wrong, but there was a correction.

i agreed with your logic, just didn't have the balls to sell.

and you still might be right, this spike we're seeing could very easily be manipulation.

[EDIT] The price went down not due to too much selling, imo. I might be totally wrong on that but that's how I saw it.

My concern is the possibility of a too strong of a bitUSD demand...    :) :) :) :)


if bitUSD demand is overwhelming it will drive the price up, but people will see that, and knowing the bitUSD is supposed to be near the price of a dollar, they will be like "OH SHIT! I profit if I sell now!"

Sure.. that is a pure market thinking...

I think a valve, 'planned', for such rushes, is not so bad to have designed beforehand. @ market prices of course....

the collateral is held by the network, if the person who did the shorting doesn't buy some from an exchange (centralized or not) and close their position, it gets destroyed when the margin gets reached. the person who went long bitUSD can do anything they want with it.

I see where I got confused. I thought it required collateral on both ends. Wow this is going to make it a quite a wild ride then, as there will be plenty of market inefficiencies in a constant battle between speculators, and those who need to convert one way or the other.

Yeap. This is one of the unaddressed issues, AFAKT.

System is supposed to work on pure market forces....well almost...

…we will see… BM usually reaches the right decisions eventually.

Suggestions to him work but your handle has to be A86, so…

I am sure he will address the issue (probably in a 10x better way than I can suggest),

 but just and only when he himself feel the need to do so.

@Simeon: Perhaps I am misinformed. Let's start with the simple question - Can a user transfer BitUSD to another user who has 0 BTSX in their account?

Or does the receiving user need to maintain BTSX for collateral?

Absolutly! ( If he has  bitUSD in his account of course)

btw merockstar can answer 95 % of those question for me...

sorry, didn't mean to step on your toes.

Nooo! I did not know you are leaving... I hoped you can do 95% of the work for me.

if listed on coinmarket cap, the bitUSD market cap will always be equal to about the same as the supply, won't it?

1) Putting BitUSD on the exchanges would be a huge risk for them, as it will need to be backed by a collateral in BTSX. So when you hold a BitUSD position, you also need to have a big BTSX balance, to cover your position in case of a margin call.


Well two things …on 2 totally deferent levels.

- When I say something, and when BM says exactly the same thing -they sound different. So, all posters in this thread, feel free to  ask BM directly, as in ‘how he sees it working’.

-As for my point of view bitUSD is already backed by BTS X (in most, and in all practical cases 99.99% so). It is still not implemented and tested.... but the idea is this to be the case in the final product. Special care also have been taken to prevent some purely hypothetical attacks … so take it for what it is….

Simeon II, I admire your optimism of BitUSD taking over BTC.

However, few notes:

1) Putting BitUSD on the exchanges would be a huge risk for them, as it will need to be backed by a collateral in BTSX. So when you hold a BitUSD position, you also need to have a big BTSX balance, to cover your position in case of a margin call. You can't really just hold a BitUSD position, without allocating desired BTSX to cover it. And the level of comfort with respect to margin call risk vary by each individual. So, I'm not saying it's impossible, it's just it won't be as simple as most picture it. In fact you will have to deposit BTSX on the exchange, and then the exchange would have to take and hold the BitUSD position on your behalf. At least that's how I understand it. Correct me if I am wrong. And of course they might change how it works by the time it's live (dry run 22? hehe) .

2) The strongest point BTC has is that it is now tied very closely with gateways to FIAT. Although still murky, regulations are starting to shape up, and big businesses are starting to use it. I'm almost certain no FIAT gateway, VC or public company would want to touch BitUSD, not for the foreseeable future. Actually let me rephrase that, they would LOVE to use it, but they will find themselves in a legal minefield and unable to find something within their comfort zone. May be that minefield will clear up with time.

Except that bitUSD will ultimately be subject to the same fate as USD.  And that one, we know, may not last much longer.

USD is a figure of speech. It is any  fiat currency you like. As for gold standard... it will come but I am too old to think it will be in my lifetime :)   I just turned 40....

as quick as bit*FIAT will be everywhere, so will bitGOLD.  Im 35 this year and I certainly expect it in mine. 

I figure gold will just naturally be the 'standard' unit of measure for value, eventually.  It will take USD not making sense anymore, for that to change.

Let's teach 75% of the population what bitUSD is.
Then we will teach them about bitGold.
One "small" step at a time.

BTSX still needs a legacy connection of course.  I see the exchanges focusing on that and more specialized low latency front ends essentially built on top of the BTSX platform.

The more exchanges that adopt a bitUSD or BTSXasset, the more stable all exchanges get, through arbitrage.  and likely an increased overall trading volume.  I think it works to their favor to include it, across the board.


No it gonna be bitUSD taking over the world!

BTSX will be just the foundation on which bitUSD exists!


PS Funny how I turned out to be the bigger optimist at the end...

What do you mean take it off the blockchain?

It will be taken off the blockchain at the centralized exchanges as much as BTC (or any other coin) is taken from the blockchain at said exchanges.

bter already lets you keep CNY so why keep BitCNY on the exchange? With both you have to trust the exchange won't take your money but with BitCNY you have the additional risk of the peg not holding.

How easy is to deposit real USD in Bter (and all  cryto-only exchanges) ...
 yes in bret it will be CNY or bitCNY whatever you choose...
 And then again why they have bigger/more BTC markets than CNY markets?

If I'm understanding you, yes, you're right, if it's possible,  BitAssets mean crypto-only exchanges can maybe offer a lot more and bigger options because they are backed up on the X blockchain.

I still don't understand exactly if it's possible.

The only thing I do not understand is how you were so optimistic 2-3 weeks ago, if you did not realize that this is one of the ultimate goals! (i.e. taking over BTC, before taking over the USD/EUR/CNY )    :)

 :) I thought people would use a centralised exchange/ATM etc.  to buy BTSX and once they had BTSX then they would trade BitAssets on the X blockchain. It still seemed huge.

Edit: I still don't really get the value of storing the BitAssets on a centralised exchange.

What do you mean take it off the blockchain?

It will be taken off the blockchain at the centralized exchanges as much as BTC (or any other coin) is taken from the blockchain at said exchanges.

bter already lets you keep CNY so why keep BitCNY on the exchange? With both you have to trust the exchange won't take your money but with BitCNY you have the additional risk of the peg not holding.

How easy is to deposit real USD in Bter (and all  cryto-only exchanges) ...
 yes in bret it will be CNY or bitCNY whatever you choose...
 And then again why they have bigger/more BTC markets than CNY markets?

My first reaction is "of course it will be listed on centralized exchanges!" Luckybit has a good point, but the reality us that if it puts centralized exchanges out of business, it will do so whether they list it or not. So sure, maybe some exchanges will put their heads in the sand and pretend bitusd doesn't exist, but the exchanges that last the longest will be the ones that embrace the new paradigm and profit from bitusd's dominance. Any exchange that lists bitusd will make a killing as it starts to overtake bitcoin as the default unit of account in the crypto world.

The thing is, if an exchange wants to list bitusd, there isn't a damn thing we could do about it even if we wanted to. Thus my conclusion that someone will certainly do it sooner or later.

Actually, I think day traders will always prefer centralized exchanges over decentralized ones because they're faster and they don't charge you fees to place orders. But that's just my hunch - I wouldn't put any money on it.

ALL here assuming market peg USD - bitUSD.!!!!


They will put themselves out of business if they do not 'list' bitUSD.
And by list I mean open at least the same /bitUSD markets they have /BTC...

@Empirical1 not it is far more than IOU

When you try take it off the X blockchain and put it on a centralised exchange, even if it were possible, it becomes just an IOU, no?

I sincerely hope those news did not caused you any heart attacks!

I'm not sure about these things but I don't think it's possible. If it was, it just becomes an IOU so would be no better and probably worse by comparison than the currency options some centralised exchanges already offer.

Potentially tracking the CAP on coinmarketcap could be good & maybe possible.

I wonder what it would take to list and trade BitUSD (after it works well on Bitshare X exchange) on regular centralized exchanges. If market peg holds, BitUSD is likely to be a very popular "coin", as well as, likely a few other synthetic assets. Any plans on making it possible to trade Bitshares "derivative" assets on central exchanges?

Why would a centralized exchange want to list something which could put them out of business?
Maybe so people can cash out BitUSD but thats about it.

Actually, everything that is now traded in BTC will be traded in bitUSD... if all goes as planed.
