Three, um, FOUR! Big Articles Foreshadow BitShares Release Next Week

[solid12345]

So two-thirds of the "businesses" (lol) are run by that white trash porno pervert and convicted drug dealing felon?

I wasn't aware you could invest & trade in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenderl community through Banx, why didn't Max Keiser think of this?

Is it the next iteration of those 'Bitshares' as in that decentralized organization linked below?

What are Brownie Points Good for?

Technically all Brownie Points mean is that you are on my good side.  Brownie Points are not redeemable for anything and do not create any obligations between me and anyone else.   BROWNIE.PTS is a tool that allows me to keep track of everyone who is in my good favor and to what extent.   You will want to make sure you claim your BROWNIE.PTS because it would just be rude to refuse the BROWNIE.PTS and one day you may regret it; Karma can be a Bitch.        

No Obligations

BROWNIE.PTS is merely a tool for my own use and I may choose to stop issuing brownie points at any time for any reason.   I may reward them (or not) as I see fit, in the amounts I see fit, for the reasons I see fit.   I may also seize brownie points from any account if you fall out of favor and anyone who complains in any way about how Brownie Points are issued or how I use Brownie Points is certainly not in my favor and may lose any Brownie Points they have earned.  

So will there be 'Brownie Points2.0' also? YUMMIE!  

[Scamlarimer]

Brownie points are a clever way for me and my homies to print money out of thin air.

We will merge these into bts3.0

Applesauce bitches.

Well, seeing as he's running both Remittio and LottoShares as well as his BTS duties, I imagine he's a busy guy.

And,yeah, I do know that CCEDK organises a lot of your high-profile press, not Michael T,
but you must have at least some idea of what's happening within the businesses that are supposed to be running on OpenLedger.

Let me see if I have the list right:

CCEDK
Banx.io
Banx Capital
Banx Platinum
Banx Technology
Banx Mint
Peak Venture
BunkerShares
LottoShares
Remittio

Anything I missed ?

I'm sure lots of stuff gets by me since anyone can do this without help, but here's some off the top of my head.

ANNOUNCED EXCHANGES
CCEDK
BANX.io
BunkerShares

RECENTLY ANNOUNCED USER ISSUED ASSETS (See wallets for complete list.)
BunkerShares
BanxShares
LottoShares
Remittio

ANNOUNCED INDUSTRY SPECIFIC BLOCKCHAIN PLATFORMS
BitShares - Exchange
MUSE - Music
Identabit - Banking

ANNOUNCED APPLICATIONS
DACx on BitShares
OpenLedger on BitShares
PeerTracks on MUSE
Remitabit on Identabit

There are others pending announcement.

Looking forward to seeing OpenLedger in action.

^ Best comment from a NXT supporter imo.

I have nothing against NXT but I've noticed its supporters love to attack Bitshres when what they really should be doing is focusing on advertising their own platform.  NXT market cap is falling while the Bitshares people are busy making partnerships and are working hard on developing a new (and hopefully good) product.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think the NXT supporters are butthurt.  Sorry for the direct honesty guys...

Pffff... give me a break.  Partnerships with who?  Commies and porno perverts?

Good product?  That's laughable.

Yep... you're right on a lot of that.
Nxt has traditionally had fairly crap marketing, but there is a proposal in the works to change that:
https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/%28marketing-business-and-development%29-the-tennessee-project-fundraiser/
Funnily enough, BTS helped to inspire this initiative.

The problem with Nxt and BTS, from my POV:  both projects seem to be occupying the same crypto space, have been running in parallel for a long time and there is some overlap between them (not as much as some people think, though).
But: there is a massive difference in core philosophy between the two projects.
It's like having a survivalist compound and a hippy commune next to each other......there will be friction.

Not every Nxter is totally anti-BTS, most of the community have no real ill-will towards BTS......with a couple of vocal exceptions.
Personally, I was always relaxed about BTS, but enjoyed taking the piss a little bit. This changed once BanxShares turned up:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1091855.msg11655260#msg11655260
I knew that Banx was dirty back in June, yet both Stan Larimer and Bitcoinjesus2.0 jumped in to defend them.
I could not f**king believe that anyone could even try to defend Banx on the trading volume issue, it was so obviously wrong.

Since then, Bitcoinjesus has deleted his Banx defence posts, btw. At least Stan has the backbone to man up and allow his defence to stand.
But he's still wrong on Banx, and Banx need to kicked out of BTS, for  BTS' sake if nothing else.

My last point of BTS criticism:
I really do not like Stans marketing strategy for BTS.
It's too much fluff, and not enough real stuff happening, and I will prick holes in it every time I see a problem. Sorry, but that's how it goes. Stan's welcome to do the same for me  

I'm happy to go on record now with this: BTS is probably a legitimate project,  but they need to be careful about who they enthusiastically welcome on to their platform.
You can't ban projects from an open platform like Nxt or BTS, but you also can't actively defend dodgy shit and expect to not suffer consequences.
I've been through some of this shit with Nxt, and the BTS community needs to figure out where they stand on the Banx issue, for their own good.
And be more subtle with the shilling, please, Stan.

Good stuff, but nothing to do with this topic. It's a sort of private sidechain highway allowing transfers of fat stacks of BTC between five BTC businesses.

Thank you.

I have never understood the whole in-fighting amongst cryptos, unless it's powered by something as base as greed.
There is no other reason to level the amount of sheer jaw-dropping hate and malevolence at another project that I can think of that would make sense.

There is no "NXT supporter", just as there is no "BTS supporter". To generalise in such a way is both denigrating to the wide diversity of people working in both our platforms and misrepresenting the situation.
It also leads to ridiculous conspiracy theories about shady groups paying other shady people off to FUD, where a simple Occam's Razor would tell us that it's much more likely SOME people are butthurt and/or nervous.

If a project (either NXT or BTS or ETH) doesn't work or overpromises, the only thing that needs to be done is simply wait until the thing falls down. The venom that pervades BCT is one of the main reasons sane people distrust cryptos in the first place. We are doing ourselves a massive disservice by not once counting to ten and considering how our words hurt the very platforms we are trying to support.

Anyway, preaching hour over. Good luck in what must be a nervous time for everyone involved. Launching things never is easy.

[tokeweed]

So how was the launch?  Any updates?

If there's one thing BTS and NXT seem to have in common, it's this.

>Update launches

>Price Falls

'Buy the rumour, sell the news'

is a well known traders axiom. It's the buzz in the lead-up to something happening that gets the price rising and the traders coming in.
As traders have, by definition, no loyalty to any one system and only care about realising their profits, the best time for traders to get out with a guaranteed profit is about 5 minutes before the buzz ends and reality sets in. Sucks for investors, but it's true.

[tokeweed]

It's just the way it is.

Or it could be Larimer and Larimer and Co. dumping on everyone.
