If, in your perspective, this information is readily available, can you send me the top links you would recommend to an investor who has concerns?
I've been involved in cryptocurrency for more than 5 years now, and the lack of clarity on what was going on kept me away from the early protoshares/BitShares stuff. From my perspective, as someone who really does want to know more about what happened, what was learned, and what mistakes won't be repeated, this stuff isn't clear and digging deeply into forum threads isn't the most effective way to clarify things (IMO). The valuations of these products are far more than just their technical capacity. The world views, opinions, and historical actions of those involved play a huge role. It's not drama for drama's sake but critically important data points used for current and future valuations.
Thank you also. I've enjoyed discussing this with you.
I'm sorry Luke, I don't have a silver bullet link. For me, the information has been gathered over time directly from the Bitshares forum where for a period, I think I read virtually everything which gave me context for my conclusions. I appreciate how hard it would be to trawl through all that. I wish I could help you more.
This is exactly why I'd like all that information to be organized and presented in a single place so investors who did not read through it all as it happened could be better informed. I know other people who also read through it all in real time as it happened and came away with the opposite perspective you did and no longer support things Dan works on. That's why I think having things organized from the perspectives of the people involved would be helpful.
Well, it's all there if you have the inclination to make the attempt to discover a deeper truth should one exist. I maintain that people will see what they want to see. Best of luck should you make the attempt.
