Like hey everybody, vote up my post, and I'll get a tattoo on my butt.
If it was a Steem tattoo, I'd upvote it myself!
Have the last word.
So this is my last word: BitShares has its own mechanism to raise funds (worker proposals) and @jonnybitcoin doesn't give a shit about Steem (that's my assumption - I might be wrong!) and is just using his private relationships with the whales to get some funds out of Steem. Funds for a good cause but raised in bad way.
This is quite pathetic - those whales are really rich (in terms of Steem), earn a lot each day by running their witness nodes and they could really do the BitShares fundraising in a much better style.
As it is, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Nothing to be proud of.
