@taconator many thanks on behalf of @apasia.tech for this mention and topic discussion. Balkans is strong and unknown territory to many around here, but consists on strong community and some of best Educational resources around the globe.
We tend to believe that Foundation of any success comes from proper education. If Bitshares can be used as a tool in Finance Education in example Bojan and Domagoj presented, but on larger scale, we would accomplish more than just having liquidity or successful token factory.
Bojan is active trader and member of community and more of his students and associates are joining the network. Slovenia as the top organized and regulated country towards Bitcoin and crypto and having successful Corp such as BitStamp that includes Fiat and regulated law about tax on mining, we consider it as best position to start with.
Hosting in Slovenia was hard thing to get and it requested process of paperwork and some q/a regarding security and docs on the product (blockchain) but having a lawyer for an investor, who is willing to participate and dedicate more than just financial resources, it was a great help.
Hope this was helpful addition to topic discussion for you guys.
Cheers!
