What will happen to BitShares and Peerplays during the next few months, especially on the 15th of September and 5th of November ?

I follow these communities and market for a while now. I'll give you my perspective on the matter.

First, let's consider the BitShares current state :

BitShares have some very interesting new development undergoing.
We have Peerplays about to launch. It will run on Graphene, the same technology as BitShares. This will create good publicity for BitShares but not only that, it is very probable synergies will be created between Graphene chains. BitShares core feature is its decentralised exchange and Peerplays will be dealing with lots of "coins", "assets" or "tokens" in its platform for every game that it will host. You can see where it's going !

Steem also is a blockchain technology running on Graphene. It's also another way for new investors, traders, crypto enthusiasts to learn about BittShares.

Blockpay is finishing successfully the first part of its ICO. They'll have the funds to develop stealth transfers and anonymous accounts on the BitShares Blockchain. We saw with the recent success of Monero that this kind of feature is very important.
They are also creating a smartphone application similar to Whatsapp but with a built-in BitShares wallet. Imagine what you could do with such beauty in your pocket. As a reminder, BitShares transfers are made within 3 seconds. You could tip anyone instantaneously with your smartphone. You could split the bill at the restaurant. You could ... well, you could do lots of amazing things we can't think of right now.
They have the funds, the team, the time and energy to move their project much further. They have more plans but they are not revealing them at the moment.
All these future features, applications, projects will be built on top of BitShares. Interesting times !!!

There is not a lot of news at the moment but MUSE is also another Blockchain aiming to the music industry. Any time they can wake up with an update and bring more "graphene" chains development into the crypto scene.

To end this BitShares current state overview, I explain in a few words what is about to happen on the 5th of November. BitShares has been suffering from a selling pressure caused by an augmented dilution. That dilution come from the system use in the past to provide enough funds to keep the development going until the final product. These funds have been released slowly and still are. In 8 weeks it will end. This mean that the constant pressure on the market of BitShares will be removed !
You can see it as a helium balloon attach to a small rock, when the wind is favourable, it can lift up a little but eventually ends up going down afterwards. On the 5th of November, the rock will be removed !

Now let's consider Peerplays !

Peerplays has kindly decided to respect the BitShares tradition and sharedrop on the BTS holders after creating a chain based on the same technology.

There is a lot of enthusiasm around Peerplays and I'm very confident that the price will keep on rising. The gaming industry in enormous and full of people already oriented technology. It's an easy public target. Try to convince a random guy in the street to use cryptocurrency ... hmm.
Nonetheless, it can have a hard time around the 15th of September. Lots of tiny BTS holders will have some PEERPLAYS for free and may decide to sell them instead of keeping this insignificant sum of tokens. Others non-believer in the projects or wanting to invest in another project with more potential will also sell their PEERPLAYS. So if I had to guess, we may see the price suffering during a week or two after the sharedrop.

Conclusion

Some traders have probably bought BTS only to have free PEERPLAYS. These traders may sell all their BTS after the sharedrop window. Even if some of them will sell I suspect part of them are aware of the next coming event and are probably going to keep a part of their shares if not all.

It's no mystery for anyone, there will be a brief decrease in the BTS price around the 15th of September. If you think about it, some traders may start selling before. They' ll take the bet that the snapshot have been probably already done and they're are good to sell before the others.
If I had to guess, I would say will see some action around the 12-13th of September.
Anyway, if you are a long-term shareholder, this is none of your concern because November 5th will have a much profound effect of Bitshares that the end of the PEERPLAYS share drop.

This is only my perspective. If you feel you have something to add, consider dropping a comment below.

Have a lovely Monday, I’ll see you soon Steemers !
