" If they see users like you, who will bring more people in, due to their influence in the crypto communities, they will give you part of their shares by voting you. If they vote you, you gain a lot of money, without actually deserving it." 

Wether is undeserving is your opinion but I see it like this. Now I have alot of Steem Power and I'm financially invested in the success of Steem. I'm going to go out and get others to use it and author content. They are using myself and others for marketing.

>They got too many tokens before the actual launch into PoS.

Nobody thinks that a normal company should give most of their shares away to people who do nothing for it. That same principle should be applied to blockchains, too.

>This way they control most of the system, hence they can even sensor people.

Because this is built on a blockchain, nothing can't be censored.

>Also Bytemaster, aka Dan Larimer scammed the BitShares users countless times in many ways and created a financially stupid DAO/blockchain

This is just bullshit. Bitshares 2.0 is perhaps the best DAO so far. The biggest problem with it has been too much low-quality shareholders who don't understand how it is supposed to work.

As we have seen with Steem, Dan can design very fine blockchain when he has a good team and no opposition from other shareholders (because he and his team has the majority of the shares).

We're not talking about Bitshares, and past  projects have no bearing on current or future projects. At least Dan is not hiding behind anonyimity, because if he did, that would be more worthy of scam accusations. He's laid out his life in public for everyone to see.  Unfortunately when he makes a few mistakes, he gets roasted for it, as if he is not suppose to be human.  I have yet to see people held at gunpoint to get involved in any of Dan's projects.  We need to stop spoon feeding the public.  If they get involved in something it is at their own risk and peril.   Now can we get on with our lives, and stop wasting so much energy on this nonsense?

Want to know why Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin under an alias?

Want to know why Satoshi Nakamoto abandoned Bitcoin to work on other projects?

It is because of this kind of roasting people do with Dan.  It's idiotic and serves no purpose.

You discredit yourself and your arguments by calling Bitshares a scam, as it quite clearly never was a scam.

Did I (and most others) lose lots of money on Bitshares so far? Yes most certainly.

Did Bitshares live up to its potential so far? No.

Did Dan over promise and under-deliver? Probably.

Does that make it a scam? Definitely not..

Bitshares is still alive with lots of exciting developments, so there's still hope there.

> He doesn't control any social networks build on top of Bitcoin like the YoursNetwork.

Ah... pull back a bit on your underlying intent. It's showing.

Censor, censor
