Now is a good time to research #bitshares. I consider it to be one of the most valuable things that I've learned on Steemit. Steem and Bitshares go very well together. I've written a few posts on it in the past and I'll probably write a few more. Here are two recent posts:

• Bypass The Banks! - How Steemit and Bitshares can give us monetary freedom
• One of My Successful Trading Strategies: The STEEM : BTS market

Hope those help. Feel free to comment on those posts, or here, if you have any Bitshares related questions. I'll do what I can to help!
