You are asking us to give up our two most powerful competitive edges.

1. BitShares is a self-funding start-up. It pays its workers in equity, like most start-ups. Its supply increases much slower than Bitcoin.

2. BitShares is innovative. It will keep changing and improving to be competitive.

Choose who you prefer to invest in: Tessla or Coke.

"self funding" didn't come about until a month or two previous. Your crowd fund was supposed to carry you through development, but couldn't manage so bytemaster threatens to bail and develop a competitor if the community didn't agree.

I don't think DNS, VOTE, and PLAY were ever viewed as "competitors." They all serve different purposes.
BM just realized that if they all use different blockchains, then we may end up with 4 different versions of bitUSD.

pretty sure the plan was for all the devs to work on all these projects all along. I don't think that constitutes "threatening to bail and develop a competitor."
