True! I wonder why they couldn't use bitshares? :D warning: i'm likely showing my ignorance on bitshares at this moment...!

...the funds raised will probably be liquidated by converting to bitcoin or usd. We don't want to lower the value of bitshares when that happens.

There is more money on ETH, and also their smart contract platform is already on many exchanges as opposed to bitshares one.

But, but, you need eth to get eos :(

It'll be like exchanging fiat for cryptos again!

What do you expect EOS will be doing with ETH exchanged for EOS? They'll be funding the project with that ETH converted into Bitcoin or USD. Think outside the box. I won't talk more about it.

EOS is a competing platform for ETH that is going to blow ETH out of the water.

Unless of course, ETH hard forks to make the pain stop. They have a history now of hard forking when they don't like what's on their chain, which is a crude business model. :(

Woah mind blown...

I bet they have already started exchanging it before the crowdsale has opened!

I retract what I said about upvoting my comment. To err is human, and to be human, well, is to err. :)

You seem like an intelligent guy but don't seem to care much for sarcasm.

PS. I would've had you not upvotes yourself. :p
