The cryptocurrencies that have been developed purely by volunteers at no cost to the stakeholders are years behind Bitshares on a technological level. Hell, the same could be said for almost all cryptocurrencies that have raised thousands to millions of dollars. Feel free to take a look... the feature set: https://bitshares.org/technology/ or the fully featured web wallet: https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/

Being on the cutting edge of technology has a price. Cryptocurrency speculators are historically used to the development of their cryptocurrency being funded by donations. Historically, a small percentage of stakeholders donate a measly fee and in return they get unimpressive development which is developed at a snails pace. Bitshares operates differently... and that frightens people. People are mostly afraid of change and cheap. Most are afraid to spend a dollar now to make ten dollars down the road.

It take big balls to be a Bitshares investor, as Bitshares has done things differently and refused to conform since its inception. We do not buy tokens and pray that a greater fool comes along and buys them at a higher price like most other cryptocurrencies. In Bitshares, stakeholders buy tokens and then donate a portion of said tokens to the development of a cutting edge cryptocurrency, which in turn has consequently positioned itself to thrive in the years to come of the "cryptocurrency wars".

Most cryptocurrencies can only dream of having the technological capabilities that Bitshares has already implemented, and the truly scary part... Bitshares stakeholders are not done yet. We are still funding the development of next generation features with both feet on the gas pedal. You feel free to bag hold your cryptocurrency that is developed at a snails pace with unimpressive results, and we will send rations down to your starving earthling population from the moon. The price is quite unimpressive right now and has been falling for quit some time, but that is because we are in the process of throwing the weak hands off the rocket ship so we can approach our final destination (the moon.)

People are intimidated by Bitshares, as evidenced by this thread and all of the sock puppets posting in it. We are real competitors in the cryptocurrency space, and they are scared of that. They have even gone so far as to penetrate our own forums to try and inject negativity into every conversation. Fear Bitshares bagholders, as the fools that play a part in the greater fool theory will eventually dry up and the quality blockchains will rise above the rest.
