The potential delist is just Bittrex, not coinmarketcap. It hurts short term in the sense that it causes uninformed people to dump. In the mid to long term it helps because it increases liquidity on the BitShares DEX and eliminates a source of market manipulation (e.g. shorting). We are in no way dependent on other exchanges for BitShares' ultimate success and they will soon be watching from the sidelines.

Bitcoin, BitShares, Steemit, and EOS are the coins I'm watching. I know nothing at all about any of the also-rans. There are a couple of more I can't talk about yet. Stay tuned.
