@stan has announced BitShares will be providing all the blockchain special effects for Startup Hollywood, a "shark tank" event for investors, entrepreneurs and internet marketers. This event has 50 Million USD to invest into upcoming startups. The event takes place May 26-28 at the Los Angeles Center Studios. The 'HERO' smartcoin has also been mentioned as a potential use case for Startup Hollywood applications given its value proposition and increasing value overtime. - i recommend you listen to the latest Bitshares hangout HERE for more details and see Stans latest post HERE
@stan will be preforming a 'TED' style talk at Startup Hollywood, presenting two talks: a Blockchain 101 and a graduate level blockchain focusing on realtime blockchains i.e Graphene, Bitshares and EOS. Stan was awarded this opportunity due to their desire to leverage a realtime blockchain in gaming platforms.
In a startup hollywood video documentary Bitshares was mentioned core technology in their bi weekly show. I am still not sure what all this means (it does seem huge) or how it will play out but it is very exciting for Bitshares and i will be keeping an eye on this space. There will also be the release of a Augmented Reality game tied to the Bitshares realtime blockchain. You can watch the full Hollywood Startup documentary, you can also attend the event live in VR.

Huge news an the development of so many amazing news seems to be going in concordance with the uprise of cryptocurrencies in the global social consciousness! This is very exciting times and I feel like I can hardly keep up with what is going on. It is mind-boggling! Thanks a bunch for it all, namaste :)
Yes :)
Thank you Eric, exciting times indeed
So much interesting information. I have been slowly moving most of my assets from poloniex to open ledger... I might have to accelerate that.
Yeah everyone is a bit sketchy on polo these days. I would honestly hate to see anything bad happen there but i also prefer to hold my own keys so the bitshares wallet is my platform of choice.
The only thing keeping some of my BTC there is their lending platform. Although the meager gains I make from it probably aren't worth the security risks.
Great to hear. I notice you and others taking more interest through some of my posts and giveaways. :)
Nice update,
TASKMANAGER buyback and burn was also completed early this morning.
Looking forward to more TASKMANAGER buy backs and project endeavors.
Great work taskmanager. Feel free to drop a link next time
I always mean to, and always forget lol.
Thank you for the mentions and great to see more value and people in bitshares recently! Shared on twitter

Any advice? Keep them?!
My advice would be to move them off the exchange and into one of the bitshares wallets. I use the light wallet personally but the web wallets do offer conveniance especially with the account login.
just make sure you follow the BACKUP procedure and dont lose your password..
Also the BitsharesDEX telegram chat is a very active channel and a great resource.
Cheers. Yes sorted the backup procedure and password is good to go. I'll check out that channel and continue watching the pretty lights :)
Keep them along with STEEM and use bitshares (DEX) and steemit.com so you get more value, use, and understanding from these crypto as well. Also replied to your post.
Great, thank you and all for the advice.
You're very welcome.
Great project.
The best interesting @steempower

In my opinion Bitcoin will fail. Can you trust a currency that is reliant on vulnerable technology?? With the creation of a number of new competing cryptocurrencies being developed and eventually diluting the market. If a cyber attack occurred would your Bitcoin be safe. Would you intrust thousands of dollars to the system? How long before Government infiltrate this technology and causes it to fail? Why would Government do that? Because central banks will not tolerate a currency that they do not have complete control over, thats why. If they cause a failure in the system, then people will lose confidence in them, unless of course the federal government comes to the rescue and offers to insure the currency FDICA baby. Look what they did to Precious metals. The feds found a way to manipulate it and fix it. The banks simply print and sell enough paper contracts to dilute the market. Some say that there are up to 200 hundred paper contracts per ounce of gold. The silver and gold markets are easily moved by the simple push of a computer key. They must regulate it in order to keep the value of the dollar intact. The same is true with cryto. If they let the market run, paper currencies would diminish in value. Is it possible that the cryptocurrency was ordained by the central banks as a trail to see if people would buy into this type of monetary system? But for now enjoy the wealth it has created, just don't think they will let the party continue.
Wow so many good questions. I am inline with most your lines of thinking bit believe that unlike banks, cryptocurrencies are nible and will learn and adapt
wow! tons of data and things to study!
