To be honest I'm a little saddened by how few have honored the original 'social contract' that was the premise for AGS/PTS donations - including Dan himself with Steemit. Bitshares/Steemit/Peerplays/Graphene would not exist without that crucial first round of funding that started it all, and yet those that took a leap of faith by investing in a startup running on hope and dreams have largely been forgotten in the excitement of the now-mature tech actually making some serious money!
I do agree that AGS/PTS has been converted to BTS and I personally haven't sold a single bitshare, so I'll be fine. But aside from grouching a bit on dilution, it's just the point. The earliest investors took a huge risk based on a 'social contract' that has not panned out so far.
Anyways, kudos for voluntarily recognizing the Bitshares community! I'm following your project and several others built on the platform; the tech is amazing and the next couple years are going to be crazy fun!
