Excellent! As I read the marchesejp's post, the area that made me uneasy with his assessment was wanting to centralise roles and titles. I thought that the old hierarchical model of organisation was what Bitshares was created to overcome. Concepts as stigmergy as explained by Heather Marsh's "Binding Chaos" come to mind. Applications like Loomio are also moving along the concept lines Stan et al have developed.

Heather opened my mind to stigmergy and Stan's ideas and the decentralised Bitshares vehicle operating along those principles have helped me unlearn the supposed "education" grad schools crank out of the cookie cutter models of yesteryear. On ya, Stan.

I do share marchesejp's observations that Bitshares is like a Lambo in a Farm Yard(ish). I, too, was daunted by the learning curve Bitshares presented. Supporting the HERO the first time cost me a chunk of BTS - which does motivate one to do adequate homework before venturing into the playground. Got that sorted out now and using the HERO margin system and will buy HERO for hodling at a good price point. I'm also of the opinion Bitshares is an elegant and totally undervalued - for the immediate present - concept.

I recall a film, "Field of Dreams," where the protagonist firmly believed, "Build it and they will come." I think Stan called the HERO a Dreamcoin initially. Way to go, Stan et al! We're coming. More and more are coming daily and fortunately, you made an arena capable of holding a global population. Stan, You're The Man!
