Communist Bitshares Wealth Redistribution IS THEFT!

[Djentriser]

Buddhist culture - communism exists succsefully for 2500 years. Its only system without bubbles and crashes. All capitalistic societies always ended up in chaos and run by despotic - "god chosen" oligarchs.  

USA is going down. Buddhist will exist another 2500 years no problem. Also China - socialists are doing much better than capitalistic societies, and their economy is centralized, they make 5 years plans. Just because people who ruled in ZSSR were stupid and made mistakes and bad decision, doesnt mean such society is impossible. On the contrary with rise of technology and software, it is much probabile that future societies when everything will be run by math and smart computers wil be more similar to communist ideals than to social darwinism.

P.S. When ZSSR went bankrupt, their public debt was 0. If USA - most capitalistic country in the world should have debt of zero, it would be history.

USA is not a capitalistic country as it once was in 19th century. The question is how to sustain that freedom and freemarket so that it will not mutate towards dictatorship.

The Communists steal everything for themselves and make everyone animals to subjugate them.

LOL. Then in human history, every society was clearly communistic.

If you are a "BItassets" (derivatives contract) holder, ask yourself this.  What happens when the market capitalization of BTS is too low to fully collateralize all the outstanding "Bitassets" (derivatives contract)?  It's not "Safer than a Swiss Bank Account" - Stan Larimer, Bitshares(TM) Head of Operations.

Do you?  If the marketcap of all outstanding "bitassets" exceeds the marketcap of BTS, how do you propose to settle all of the outstanding derivatives contracts?  All "Bitasset" derivatives contracts are settled in BTS.

Today marketcap of all BitAssets $300 000, how much should cost BTS in order to this happened?
BTW if all contracts will be closed by peoples the marketcap of BitAssets will be 0 as at beginning.

Let's take the following example.  If the marketcap of BTS falls below the entire marketcap of all the outstanding "BitAssets", then how can BTS fully collateralize the "BitAssets"?  It is my understanding that "BitAsset" long positions are 100% collateralized with BTS and "BitAsset" short positions are 200% collateralized.  The answer I'm expecting to get to this question is if all the "BitAsset" holders of a certain class, say BitUSD, want to liquidate their position then they will exert buying pressure on BTS thus driving the price of BTS higher allowing all the "BitAsset" holders of that class to successfully exit their position.  But, what happens if this buy pressure on BTS/BitUSD doesn't cause a price increase do to greater sell pressure on the BTC/BTS side of the trade?  It seems that in this scenario a falling overall BTS price would prevent 100% collateralization of the "BitAssets" resulting in a situation where the there isn't enough BTS in existence to cover all the open positions.

Today all shorts force to cover every 30 days, it's makes buy pressure.

While forcing shorts to cover every thirty days does exert buying pressure, it doesn't necessarily prevent a situation like I described from occurring.  There is a significant amount of BTS sitting on the sidelines not invested into any "BitAsset" class.  If these BTS are sold and the sell pressure this creates overwhelms the buy pressure exerted from "BitAsset" holders exiting their position, it seems that potentially a situation could develop if BTS drops low enough that there simply wouldn't be enough BTS to allow everyone to exit from their "BitAsset" positions without taking a loss.

I understand what you're talking about, if BTS price will drop to near 0.
To cover your old positions you can always short BitAsset for yourself at current price and cover your old positions. It's like when you get new loan to cover or pay percentages for your old loan in real life.
