To be honest, main goal of BitShares from beginning was market pegged assets so do you expected market pegged assets without asset exchange?
Do you think NXT Asset Exchange was an first blockchain asset exchange? What about Counterparty and Mastercoin (Omni)?

The code is only part of it.......look at the scams carried out using BTC code, or even NXT code. Code is neutral, like a weapon. There's obviously a difference between functional elegant code, and shitty bug filled garbage, but the quality of BTS code is not in question here: the issues have more to do with the business built up around the code.

BTS claims to subscribe to a libertarian philisophy, but then behaves as a dictatorship.
As with DE, I've followed BTS for a long time, and I've completely lost any form of serious faith in the project.
It looks to me, these days, that BTS have lost their way, and are now reduced to pumping vapourware (the 100,000 TPS blockchain) while copying features from other currencies (BTS Exchange Network = NXT Asset Exchange)).

The thing I love about BEN  (in a nasty, sarcastic way... ) is that BTS used to be against the idea of a completely open asset issuance system, but were going to concentrate on building qualitatively superior DACs, rather than allowing absolutely anyone on board, as with the NXT Asset Exchange. Yet now BEN is one of BTS major selling points......and is still vapourware, as is the 100,000 TPS "BTS 2.0 industrial strength" blockchain.

Have you read the code? I suggest you do so before making such biased opinions.. Only truth is in the code. I recommend to do so and you will probably end up switching over to the good guys

My stance towards Bitshares has nothing to do with NXT.  I've said numerous times that NXT has no competition, but, if it did, it certainly isn't from a third-rate, for-profit company run by two disingenuous imbeciles who can't figure out how to make money besides coming up with little schemes which are completely transparent to anyone who possesses more than two brain cells.  Now, I've been following Bitshares for longer than just about anyone, before Protoshares was even released, and I've seen first hand all the changes Bitshares has gone through.  I've heard all the stories about the supposed ideology behind Bitshares and the ideals and intent of the developers and I'd like to tell everyone right now what a line of BS that was.  These clowns have enacted full-fledged Corporatist/Communist policies all under the ruse of being "libertarians" and proponents of free society.  Let me ask you something... When was the last time you met a "libertarian" who didn't believe in free speech? ... Or wanted a central power to be able to enact wealth confiscation? ... Or thought elections should be conducted using the notoriously unfair and riggable approval voting system?

Bitshares is the complete anti-thesis of the ideology behind the cryptocurrency movement and I won't be quiet about revealing traitors to the cause.  They can't buy everyone with their "ass-kissing" bucks.

Dude I could shut u up for good with your nxt project with info you don't like to hear and neither does anyone else how about you stop posting before you stop doing your own community any good k? Mind ur own business and let the real Devs do their work.

Video doesn't play, there is a message "this video is private, sorry about that" 

Nice little 2-minute overview of BitShares 2.0:

BitShares 2.0 Overview

Until you and Dan can have your full discussion I'll just point out that we see utility in both fully-backed and derivative-types.

Numerous exchange partners will issue "fully backed" User Issued Assets that, of course, have counterparty risk associated with whoever is doing the backing.  Then we have market pegged assets that have no such counterparty risk.

Then users have the ability to spread their risks out as they see fit and rebalance that spread in one second as often as they like.

So the answer to this experiment will be determined on what the market decides.  I think it will pick both.

Maybe we could get the two of you on Fuzzy's BeyondBitcoin.org Show...

Wasn't for you

On this, we agree. I'm a bit leery of Bitshares' model, as fully-backed is my own policy, but Dan is very talented and has a real vision. It remains to be seen if a derivative-type model is a robust proxy for fully-backed, but that's why this whole field is labeled "experimental." Can't have experimental without experiments.

(To be honest, if I could wangle an hour of Dan's time for a one-on-one convo, it would be a very fascinating hour...)

So then, it's decided.

Clearly a high-brow, erudite and intellectually stimulating "Altcoin Discussion" is taking place here.

Q.E.D.

Oh I see how it is, I can play your games.

One thing is sure, Dan Larimer is a super talented and it seems to me very honest young man and his innovation surely deserves the support of the community.

I wouldn't tempt fate. Besides its pointless comparing day to day prices while all these projects are in a nascent stage.

Welcome to our troll family dude! Here you can learn from the Masters!

Probably because they like BitShares very much and wants to attract more attention at BTT.

That is totally correct, why is it that these topics were created?
