Anyone here follow BitSharesX? It seems like a scam or at the very least a beta project that makes a lot of unsubstantiated claims. How does counterparty plan to continue differentiating itself from such obvious scams, and is there a contingency plan for when the SEC or other govt. entity does a crackdown that doesn't differentiate between legitimate projects like counterparty that are done with little hype and plenty of real development vs. altcoins like bitsharesX that smell really bad?
Some of the articles on here discuss the problems with bitshares

Bitshares is not a scam
I'm not an expert so don't take my word for it, but I think if the SEC have a problem with anyone it would be with people who use CounterParty to issue assets which they class as securities - not counterparty itself and not every asset issuer automatically. In that case it is up to each asset issuer to make sure they comply with any relevant laws (or to make sure they can't be found, lol).
