                Jan, I abandoned the, till that time unanimous consensus

          It's specifically titled "Law of the Crypto Coin" not "Law of
          the Bitcoin".  It applies to the market cap of all crypto
          currencies.  I've always said that a superior to Bitcoin coin
          is the biggest risk to Bitcoin.  But, I must admit that I am
          very much more in your camp, seeing more risks than just
          superior coins as possibilities.  I figure I should have been
          much more open to your good advice back then.<br>

      <div><span
          style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12.800000190734863px">The
          idea behind "BitShares" is that coins can be like stocks in a
          public organization, with real money making and distribution
          potential backing them up, like real stocks of a company with
          PE ratios.  Yet without the need of the middle men stock
          exchanges and brokerage houses.  Obviously a coin that can be
          spent like Bitcoin and is paying real dividends from real
          profits of a company, like a share of a company, is a better
          investment than something that is only a coin like Bitcoin.<br>

          style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12.800000190734863px">I see
          a day in the near future where all public companies move their
          shares off of the major stock exchanges and go
          "cryptographically public".  When people go shopping, they
          will indicate what asset they will want to pay with, and the
          sellers will indicate what asset they want to receive, and a
          frictionless decentralized network, like the ripple network,
          will easily and automatically find the most price efficient
          way to move between the two - the buyer and seller not needing
          to be aware of the automatic near free stuff that is going on
          underneath.  And the seller and payer's software will be
          integrated into their accounting system so whatever taxes are
          mandated will be automatically tallied.  You will no longer
          need to pay a brokerage house to keep track of all this for
          you, and taking an expensive piece of every buy and sell.<br>
