Great post, really looking forward to the next ones in the series! I know we share similar views on the BitShares project and am happy that someone takes the time to properly write them and share them with the rest of the world, thank you! Also very happy to see Keyhotee mentioned, it's what really got me hooked (a project fundamental to the future of the internet), and to be honest, I don't believe that the project is dead but only dormant while the rest of the ecosystem matures in order to be able to accept it. You cannot stop an idea whose time has come ;)
