Hi Bitshares folks and Steemians! Watch out for a significant milestone for Bitshares coming up in a month (27 days to be precise): The 10 millionth block will be produced!!!
It seems the superior technology is winning through, even though the block explorer is broken (shows no volume for bitUSD:BTS and bitCNY:BTS while in reality over 10k bitUSD and 140k bitCNY are being traded) and bitshares reputation is scarred by the complex history of the coin as well as the technical complexity (before it's time), the superior technology will win through.
Looking forward to Nov. 5 and also the BlockPay release!
