RE: Can BitShares Rebuild Houston? - Simple Cave Man Version

in #bitcoin • 7 years ago


I have a few quick questions that I would be really glad if you answered:Hey @stan, I really appreciate your ambitious work and your optimism! Helping Houston is a really noble cause.

  1. this line : "BitShares could easily grow from 15 cents to 150 dollars in two years - if enough people adopt it as their exchange." got me confused - wasn't the goal of Billion HERO challenge to get BTS to $330 in year and a half?
  2. Why would people still use BTS after EOS came out?
  3. What is our answer to Lightning networks? The way I see it, regular people just want to buy their coffee/pizzas/cars etc with their money and don't really care about market pegged assets and exchanges. And when LN comes, our Fast Bitcoin would be the slow one...
  4. Why, in your opinion, none of the huge announcements you made until now have had any effect on the price of BTS?

I would like to know your opinion on these very much, thanks in advance!

    1. Separate campaigns. The Billion Hero Campaign goes .33 to 330. Harvey's Heros goes from current price to 1000x as an example. Actual performance depends on all sorts of factors, like China and US regulators rattling the cage.
    2. BTS will build on EOS and bring with it all that has been built.
    3. We are gathering users now, not whenever LNs finally come online, if ever. Besides, they are centralized off chain - not a real honest solution.
    4. The announcement we've made have only been to the local community, for their benefit. We will be ready for the general public when the new web site is complete, later This Summer.

    Hi Stan, I have a feeling that at the moment it is way to complicated to understand how the system works for the outsider, there is no easy way to fully comprehend what Bitsharses entails
    What would be nice is if there are explanatory video's for every individual target audience, a simple explanatory video of how the bitshares exchange works.

    Make a video of how a pensioner can put their hard earned money by locking up Bitshares in escrow and by doing so creating a Hero into existance, with a fair explanation of the risks involved. Showing a fair explanation of the risks involved and that a very simple interface will be made so a 65+ year old easily knows what to do.

    Although I liked the Ted talk, less is more!

    The website billionherocampaign is too much, to many links to click on, too many vague terms.
    Keep it simple, and divide the website so that every target audience knows what is meant for who.

    I think the focus needs to be to show that bitshares can replace a huge part of the financial system, but in order to do that, clarity needs to be given.

    Right now people give up because of information overload.

    I know it is still very much in the development stage, but I would advise to give clarity priority.

      I also have trouble wrapping my head around the Hero Campaign. Someone should describe it in real simple terms.
