Well, I'm not sure how aware they are of all of the massive indicators that it's kind of sort of totally structured like a pyramid, but I've seen way too many posts on steemit recently shilling for bitshares with referral links to not get intrigued and all it took was two seconds of searching around to find out enough to make me write this.

And if the best response I can get is someone calling it FUD with no further explanation, then I'm pretty sure the price cratered for good reason, and the strength of all of those "derivative" bit-Fiats are questionable at best. Not like Tether is any better, but I've seen a lack of talk on either subject on this site in general. Hell, one of the co-founders of our own coin shilled today to announce Holyfield's involvement with the project and I didn't see a single negative comment. The downvote strength of the few is more than enough to silence dissent on the platform.
