It is indeed a financial experiment, if you dont want to take any risk, stay away from it. But don't call it a scam. Bitcoin was also an experiment.
There is a huge team of BitShares developers in Blacksburg, Virginia which are all publicly known. There are well known and respected supporters. Bo Shen, who is a founding member of the Bitcoin Foundation in China, is a supporter and member of the BitShares team. http://bitcoinmagazine.com/about-us/
So please join the discussion and bring up critical points why this all might not work. But don't be so blunt to call it a scam! The market mechanisms are definitely complex and doubts are justified why it could not work, like with any experiment. But not everything you can not intellectually comprehend is a scam.
uh oh!
Is there some link to the CIA here?!
Google blacksburg and cia,,,
yep run from this one
All I found was that the CIA is recruiting in Blacksburg / at Virginia Tech. That is it?
Daniel Larimer from BitShares is the biggest libertarian / anti cia guy I can think of : http://vimeo.com/101728224
Do your own research and drop your ideology and abstruse theories.
