Without these altcoins, we would never have concepts such as smart contracts and completely anonymous transactions.

There is no better example of a scam in technology history than Ethereum

There is no subjectivity necessary to state the obvious, it's completely derived from the premine, from their idiocy in every single thing they do.

Ethereum group are literally made of only people who are unable to make a single rational choice in their lives, starting with always permissioned designs like PoS and premines and ICO's and ending with failures like countless subjective forks forced on everyone, money confiscations, censorship already demonstrated. They even failed at accidentally forking the chain a few times due to incompetent devs. But only incompetent developers cannot tell if 1 or 2 is bigger and cannot calculate how only 1 trusted party can have 70% of supply in the damn premined design.

Ethereum is a community of only illiterate idiots and scammers with literally no other options to explain a choice for a centralized platform cosplaying crypto.

a singledumb image can explain more than 100% of their community understands in lifetime, but why not several:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereumfraud/comments/5t65je/nick_szabo_the_man_who_invented_and_coined_smart/





It's not possible in this universe to be more of an idiot or a scammer than to be a member of the ethereum community.

It's a statement fully objective to accurately describe something as those words were intended for upon their creation.

Stop treating them like they have an equally valid opinion when they are promoting 1 > 2, 70% is ~ 0%, and how network that already demonstrated trivial subjective censorship and confiscations is trustless and censorship resistant.

Despite some changed done by the Ethereum team about total supply cap and coin to be created per annum like it or not Ethereum is still consider as a crypto currency and it will be nice if you dont take this situation personal. Let people make their own choices or else someone will misunderstand your statement as FUD.
With that been said, Ethereum will only hold it number 2 place.

Ethereum is a good project with lots of awesome usecases if no the best cryptocurrency projects out there. It's Usecases gave birth to a new revolution of blockchain technology making it available to even the common people. With ethereum smart contracts and DApps infrastructure, even a person with little know-how of blockchain technology would be able to utilize the tech. With time i believe ethereum as a project can achieve impressive and great success but not any time soon.

Sorry bro, I think unswapped unity were burnt already

This week has seen a 47.52% increase in BTS committed to Open orders on the Bitshares DEX. Open orders are akin to Market Makers who are providing liquidity to the Bitshares DEX either from open buy or sell orders.

From this week forward the Top 100 table in the data below contains BTS holdings, Open orders and BTS as collateral. The new addition here is BTS as collateral which was not reported in my previous reports. I have updated the reference data so that %Change does include last week’s total including BTS as collateral which should give an accurate % change of overall BTS holdings per account. This change was requested by @funcrypto last week and after a community poll it was agreed that including the collateral will help give a more accurate picture of the top accounts on the network.

Is it possible for Bitshares to step in and become more recognized DEX?

BTS being used as collateral for the smartcoin economy has increased by 13.5% this week which brings the total BTS being locked by the network to back smartcoins to a record high of 19.7%.

This week has seen a 55.8% increase in Open orders on the Bitshares DEX!. This week also shows a 24 hour volume of over 40 Million USD and last week’s record setting 170 Million USD 24 hour volume is suggesting the liquidity is increasing as adoption grows and more people seek a more transparent and open means of exchange without restrictions that can be imposed on centralized entities.

Congratulations to Alfredo Garcia (Bitshares core developer) who has had his new worker proposal approved by the Bitshares holders for a second term working as one of the Bitshares core developers!. Alfredo work ethic has been proven in the previous term and i personally (Bitshares in general as well i am sure) am very happy to see his work continue.
