Remember, BitShares PTS holders receive a perpetual dividend in the form of ownership in every future BitShares DAC.
Thats false advertising. Core I3 DACs (Bitshares, MUSIC and PLAY) are already allotted, and the future 3rd party DACs have no obligation or incentive to sharedrop on alphaBar PTS (stop calling it Bitshares PTS).
For all those who are confused with the Bitshares name, PTS was originally one of the two sharedrop vehicles for I3 DACs. Last month Bitshares decided to merge and also awarded stake to the PTS holders, and as far as they are concerned PTS is irrelevant. alphaBar, with support from some of the community, decided to create a DPoS version of it and keep it running.
Agree 100%. The devs saying they "support" this are doing so as a good faith gesture so they don't look like bad guys going against the "social consensus" (that was effectively eliminated upon the merger). And they know there's no way to completely eliminate PTS or someone else will just try to resurrect it all over again, so might as well support it. The devs even returned all PTS donated to them over the past year to show they no longer have any affiliation to PTS after ultimately buying them out with an airdrop of BTS. I cannot support alphaBar PTS as it is no longer indicative of the core BTS community whatsoever. BTS is where it's at.
