I always enjoy listening to these hangouts, but this one was especially interesting, especially because of the hope of a more thought out - and hopefully more effective - approach to marketing. I love to watch how problems can get solved in a decentralized way with the tools we have, without giving up ideals. It looks like it just takes time. Mistakes have apparently been made, but gradually a model that works will be found. I also love how the Bitshares community hasn't given up and just made a new pump scheme, but persists in face of all the obstacles and fud. It just must succeed in the end.
