.... warning... we interrupt your normal programming tonight to inform you of breaking news on the bitcointalk forums .... this is not a test....

A few smart Bitcointalk users have discovered that in most cases people do not work for free so that other random strangers over the internet can profit from their work. Furthermore, they have also discovered that people whom are smart enough to develop their own cryptocurrency with bleeding edge features from scratch are not cheap to hire. This is certainly a ground breaking discovery and we will keep you posted on the details of this discovery as it develops.

..... We now return you to the normally scheduled programming for this hour titled "puppets and shills who are too scared to post under their real usernames that certainly have no ulterior motives" ......

This just in........................

They already took MILLIONS of dollars from users and promised to deliver a product for those Users.

And they have more than delivered.. have you even seen the Bitshares 2.0... jeez... here is a hosted version so you can see for yourself how great it is: https://bitshares.openledger.info/

Remember, they were the ones that cut off BTS investment to begin with on Feb 28th 2014. They were the ones who stopped collecting AGS. They did that because they collected a shit ton of BTC and PTS that would more than cover what they were trying to do. This was most likely during a time when they weren't particularly intending on scamming.

There was plenty of time to invest in Bitshares early. There was PTS and then there was AGS. If you didn't invest in mining PTS (the mining portion of the ICO) or AGS (the fundraising part of the ICO) because you didn't see the value in the project or didn't want to take the risk, then whose fault is that really? Everyone was on equal playing grounds as far as the Larimers or anyone else investing in Bitshares early. Obviously, Stan and Dan knew their intentions of delivering and Dan's capabilities so the invested more than your average investor. However, they had to raise and/or put in money just like everyone else and did not receive any special multipliers or anything. It was a fair ICO, so I'm not sure what you're getting at here.

Once they saw the money, cha-ching, they spent it flying across the country and to the Caribbean and realized they ~~needed~~ wanted more.

This is not true, they have developed the heck out of Bitshares. Bitshares 2.0 is wonderful compared to Bitshares 1.0 which was pretty much an alpha release.

The only way to do this was to pivot the project in unnecessary directions stagnating development, alienating the old original users, and sucking in noobs with dreams of the BTC lottery windfall from November 2013. There is a reason that every 6 months they changed the project in ways that would benefit them and hurt the investors.

They are trying to stay ahead in the cryptocurrency wars. Right now they are a successful project... a top 10 market cap ALT coin. They want to stay that way, and so do shareholders. This is why shareholders are investing in improving Bitshares 2.0 as it exists today, because they (along with BM and company) want to stay ahead of the competition.

And everytime they promised the sky and delivered half a turd.

"Now if that's a fact, tell me, am I lying?"

If Bitshares 2.0 is "delivering half a turd" to you then I don't know what to say, you are not the brightest crayon in the box, lying (... you asked me to tell you ...), or delusional.

@ your OP... they decided eventually to release Bitshares 2.0 under the MIT license, so basically your whole OP is rubbish now.
