Could this be the beginning of a future without any more goxing, stamping, and all the other bad stuff that comes from counterparty risk?

considering all the volatility in crypto and btc's downtrend, i think what bitshares and nubits are trying to do is a step in the right direction. i'm not saying their implementation is the answer.  but i sure would love to see more implementations, and see what other projects can come up with as far as bit.FIAT is concerned.

It is one place to shelter from the drop in altcoins.

Who's spending all their coins.. did everyone jump and get an Xbox subscription!?

Yeah BitShares is a great place to shelter.

I converted some BTC to BitSilver a few weeks ago, turns out it was a good decision

Still getting mostly burned on the rest of my holdings though, Bitcoin falling is hurting most other crypto's atm.

I still remember when it was fun watching the BTC price. Ah well.. I guess in this space it might be a case of change by moving to another option like BitShares rather than simply one coin evolving.

I guess it might be a good sign for Bitcoin, if people are spending via merchants.

Fake volume seems to be the norm with BitsharesX

bitsharesX? did you discover some kind of time travel? it's bitshares for almost 3 months now!

Spreading misinformation and lies seems to be the norm from uninformed nxt supporters these days.
