What if a person has OPEN.EOS on the Bitshares DEX?

As far as I understand (and I'm all new to this) this is not enough. I'm in the same position, I have few OPEN.EOS. I'm planning to create MyEtherWallet address and send open.eos there. Open ledger or someone between charges 0.7 eos for this, robbery if you only have few of them ;-(

I'm still collecting the guides (and courage) for this lol. I don't quite understand why I need to involve metamask. Also I don't know if I need to have some gas/eth for this. I hope not since I have none.

As far as I understand you don't actually own any EOS when yiou hold Bitshares versions of it. They can only airdrop to an ethereum address so if you're not holding it on an ethereum address obviously it's not going to happen. But then I have a hard time understanding the Btshares system so maybe I don't get it. Much of it seems to exist in its own little world no one every talks about. Like everyone always talks about Tether but Bitshares has many fiat pegged assets
