'Buy the rumour, sell the news'

is a well known traders axiom. It's the buzz in the lead-up to something happening that gets the price rising and the traders coming in.
As traders have, by definition, no loyalty to any one system and only care about realising their profits, the best time for traders to get out with a guaranteed profit is about 5 minutes before the buzz ends and reality sets in. Sucks for investors, but it's true.

If there's one thing BTS and NXT seem to have in common, it's this.

>Update launches

>Price Falls

So how was the launch?  Any updates?

Thank you.

I have never understood the whole in-fighting amongst cryptos, unless it's powered by something as base as greed.
There is no other reason to level the amount of sheer jaw-dropping hate and malevolence at another project that I can think of that would make sense.

There is no "NXT supporter", just as there is no "BTS supporter". To generalise in such a way is both denigrating to the wide diversity of people working in both our platforms and misrepresenting the situation.
It also leads to ridiculous conspiracy theories about shady groups paying other shady people off to FUD, where a simple Occam's Razor would tell us that it's much more likely SOME people are butthurt and/or nervous.

If a project (either NXT or BTS or ETH) doesn't work or overpromises, the only thing that needs to be done is simply wait until the thing falls down. The venom that pervades BCT is one of the main reasons sane people distrust cryptos in the first place. We are doing ourselves a massive disservice by not once counting to ten and considering how our words hurt the very platforms we are trying to support.

Anyway, preaching hour over. Good luck in what must be a nervous time for everyone involved. Launching things never is easy.

Are they able to control the market or no?

Good stuff, but nothing to do with this topic. It's a sort of private sidechain highway allowing transfers of fat stacks of BTC between five BTC businesses.

Yep... you're right on a lot of that.
Nxt has traditionally had fairly crap marketing, but there is a proposal in the works to change that:
https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/%28marketing-business-and-development%29-the-tennessee-project-fundraiser/
Funnily enough, BTS helped to inspire this initiative.

The problem with Nxt and BTS, from my POV:  both projects seem to be occupying the same crypto space, have been running in parallel for a long time and there is some overlap between them (not as much as some people think, though).
But: there is a massive difference in core philosophy between the two projects.
It's like having a survivalist compound and a hippy commune next to each other......there will be friction.

Not every Nxter is totally anti-BTS, most of the community have no real ill-will towards BTS......with a couple of vocal exceptions.
Personally, I was always relaxed about BTS, but enjoyed taking the piss a little bit. This changed once BanxShares turned up:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11655260
I knew that Banx was dirty back in June, yet both Stan Larimer and Bitcoinjesus2.0 jumped in to defend them.
I could not f**king believe that anyone could even try to defend Banx on the trading volume issue, it was so obviously wrong.

Since then, Bitcoinjesus has deleted his Banx defence posts, btw. At least Stan has the backbone to man up and allow his defence to stand.
But he's still wrong on Banx, and Banx need to kicked out of BTS, for  BTS' sake if nothing else.

My last point of BTS criticism:
I really do not like Stans marketing strategy for BTS.
It's too much fluff, and not enough real stuff happening, and I will prick holes in it every time I see a problem. Sorry, but that's how it goes. Stan's welcome to do the same for me  

I'm happy to go on record now with this: BTS is probably a legitimate project,  but they need to be careful about who they enthusiastically welcome on to their platform.
You can't ban projects from an open platform like Nxt or BTS, but you also can't actively defend dodgy shit and expect to not suffer consequences.
I've been through some of this shit with Nxt, and the BTS community needs to figure out where they stand on the Banx issue, for their own good.
And be more subtle with the shilling, please, Stan.

Cool. Thanks.

Yes!  This is the one I promised Toke in the OP!

Pffff... give me a break.  Partnerships with who?  Commies and porno perverts?

Good product?  That's laughable.

^ Best comment from a NXT supporter imo.

I have nothing against NXT but I've noticed its supporters love to attack Bitshres when what they really should be doing is focusing on advertising their own platform.  NXT market cap is falling while the Bitshares people are busy making partnerships and are working hard on developing a new (and hopefully good) product.

If I didn't know any better, I'd think the NXT supporters are butthurt.  Sorry for the direct honesty guys...

Looking forward to seeing OpenLedger in action.

Here's another Forbes article...

Trolls are in Panic Mode!  



16 Hours left...  https://bitshares.org/

Brownie points are a clever way for me and my homies to print money out of thin air.

We will merge these into bts3.0

Applesauce bitches.

Is it the next iteration of those 'Bitshares' as in that decentralized organization linked below?

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,17354.0.html


So will there be 'Brownie Points2.0' also? YUMMIE!  

I wasn't aware you could invest & trade in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgenderl community through Banx, why didn't Max Keiser think of this?
