2. The new Fee Backed Assets allow an entrepreneur to add a new feature and have 80% of its fees automatically routed to them and/or to the folks who paid for it's development. The other 20%, once again, go to the BitSharesholders' Reserve Pool (i.e. the company savings account). Fee Backed Assets then trade like any other asset, giving their holders a share of the revenue earned by the feature(s) they helped to build.
You know you only attract idiots and scammers with this bullshit
