Bitshares is a massive pump and dump, the recentl fall out shows there are no true investors in that coin. I hold a couple of thousand, but this is a clear long long time investment and by long i mean at least 6 months to a year. Long time in Crypto.

If and when the goverment etc step in and want to regulate crypto for tax purposes then it will boom but until then its going to go up and down. If you want big gains get tron or verge, whether you think they are good or not alot of hype so will have there time, plus there cheap so buy loads and 10x 20x your money.

Of course this is all my opinion.
