Followed. I really like your digest. Your hint with the cme futures seems to be spot on as it explains the sudden spike and short squeeze.

what merger? thanks!

gateway nodes aka bridges are centralized. crypto bridge proposes to change that and open ledger submitted a proposal for decentralizing their own gateways but so far there is no implementation for that.

but also massive upcoming competition. i wonder what we can do for bitshares to grow? i hoped that the graphene developers conference will uncover some plans to join forces with eos but nothing was heard

Steemit itself is a good example of growing the networks value by directing deflation to support organic growth. Every action that gets rewarded by the algorithm is tied to either curating content of other

thanks for leaving this message and giving me a reason to keep on posting!

Anyway I didn't mention Ripple as a copycat. I mentioned it as the only working solution.
