I agree with you, bitshares has a huge potential.Because it is more than a coin, it has lots of properties.It is a DEX(decentralized exchange), It has bitUSD,bitEUR,bitCNY etc... and also bitUSD and all of this fiats are decentralized.Every body can create an asset easly with this platform.Lots of people has not discovered all futures of bitshares yet.Bitshares is more then currency!!!!

Also this DEX earning commission from every transaction fees,it is a real life business model.1 month before BTS started to exchange in lots of chinese exchange platform!Chinese peoples love it!!!!

I can see lots startup projects using bitshares infrastructure.For example BitSpark company https://blog.bitspark.io/bitspark-switching-to-bitshares-for-remittances/

Also I start a project for building bitshares gateway for an alternative of openledger company.You will be able to use my payment gateway.
I am sure that BITSHARES IS NOT DISCOVERED complately and people DON'T UNDERSTAND the power of that platform!...
