Yes they are. Son and father.

Hm, they should find someone for the position of holy spirit...

Edit: Satoshi's spirit qualify pretty good I think.

But wait...  Which is better, Dan or Stan?

Dan is supposed to be better, new one is always better. At least in crypto, hehe.

Larimer 2.0

Stan, you guys hired a pump group yet?  There's still no activity in the exchanges, esp. at Poloniex since that's where most of the BTS volume is.

You can reply via PM if you don't want to make it public.

We generally try to stay away from that stuff.  No offense, I hope.

Think this is StanLarimer (Bytemaster) on a podcast, I get about 80% of what he's saying. A little more personality than VB and less shadowy than JL777. It's a good listen if you compliment it with the reading of the website. I'm starting to learn a little "bit" more, but it's still over my head from a totality standpoint.

So I guess the question should be, how and what strategy is the Bitshares team going to use to make their platform the 'default' platform in 'upgrading' or solving Bitcoin's problems?  Or at least be one of the better contenders.

You mentioned Ripple as a competitor in the crypto 2.0 space, and I'm pretty sure there's a few more fighting for a spot to be on the top tier. 

Creating better tech obviously won't be the only driver for this to happen.  There's also marketing, forging relationships with merchants and payment processors and possibly banks.  How is Bitshares going to tackle all these to gain an edge over other crypto 2.0 platforms?


If Forbes Magazine hasn't published the answer to your question by the time I get back from the Blockchain Summit in Shanghi next week, I'll leak it here.

My trezor is fuzed to my forehead already but it still feels like 1.O. I think that Sputnick was just joking.

Yeah... that's gotta hurt. Nice plug too.  Grin

Sure what do you do when ver. 3comes out?

wow! probably get some.
cool teach me

We all know that immutable blockchains were 1.O
and that BitShares smart properties are 2.O

but what new technology will 3.O bring us?

The mark of the Beast? Because, that would be really cool. I hate wallets.

nothing to se here. pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. if you have some old Protoshares from years back, just use your keys to claim your BTS and sell them to me. I'll take them off your hands for you my friend.  Because, you see, Bitcoin2.O is hard to learn. Like school.  and more frustrating than having to wait 7 days for Coinbase to deliver.  So sell me your shares on an exchange and rest your weary head under the sand and repeat after me Auntie M:

"there's no such thing as Bitcoin2.O"
"there's no such thing as Bitcoin2.O"

Sure what do you do when ver. 3comes out?
Lemme guess you will power dump on poor idiots.
Another "coin" ?
So it's free?  Not going to cost me money / bit coin!
Hmm well does the dev & friends have a history of past coins?
Uhhh what's different here again?

Notice how Bitcoin is popular?
Hmm I wonder why..

Sounds good.  Where can I get more details about it?  Some links, blogs or even links to threads from your forum about BTS' decentralized marketing would be nice.

Thanks.

Ok.  So you're better than Bitcoin (tech-wise).  A couple of questions:

1) What is your strategy in overcoming Bitcoin and in taking some, if not the majority of its market share from them?  

2) How can you convince the merchants, payment processors and the bigger exchanges (ex. Bitstamp) to make BTS the default crypto currency acceptable to them?

Actually, all the answers are right here in this thread.

We are not trying to be the digital reserve currency.  We just want to upgrade the whole industry without changing anyone's stake in their favorite coins.

We are a platform on which such currencies (all 600+ of them including Bitcoin) might like to upgrade to for the reasons I stated in my several posts above.

We have just solved 12 hard problems for everybody.  You're welcome.

^ I hope that's enough to convince people to get in and invest in BTS.

I do not own any BTS but I'm ready to get in and out when it's going up.  Good luck to Bytemaster and co.

Main reason I became interested in Bitshares is because it solves Bitcoin's two largest problems:

1)  Scalability - Bitshares will likely have the highest scalability of any blockchain platform (Emunie does not use a blockchain, thus lower redundancy)

2)  Market pegged assets solves the problem of Bitcoin being a store of value.  You don't have to watch the exchange 24 hours a day or risk losing your shirt if you don't.  You can hedge into several things like BitUSD, BitGold, etc.

Whoever solves scalability + store of value first probably wins the whole game.
