I must admit that I don't know much about bitshares yet except that it is the same team behind Steemit

BitShares: A Decentralized Asset Exchange founded by Dan Larimer that can trade SmartCoins, User Issued Assets, and offers multiple financial tools for things like Project Funding, Recurring & Scheduled payments. Think of it like NASDAQ, and a Central Bank, all decentralized and owned by the same people who use it.

What amazes me is how fast something like this can grow. Yesterday I was ignorant, today, thanks to Hacker News (and Reddit) I am in the club. I'm still not sure what the club is about, or whether it will turn out to be worthwhile, but what an adventure! If it does one thing - gets rid of social network trolls - it will be far more valuable than anything else so far. IMHO.

People tend to upvote good content and people who bring something positive in the platform. In other words, there is no incentive to be passive agressive or trolling on Steemit. As you navigate, you'll see that this kind of behavior tend to be very marginal.
