Bitshares is an interesting project. I find it odd that the Bitshares price has performed so poorly over the last year.
Well, in my opinion this could be a huge opportunity to buy some cheap BTS and make decent profits once it will skyrocket. All the attention has been brought to Lisk and Waves but soon people will realize the true potential of BTS and will start pumping it. I think that we should make the move as a community to help promote BTS and drive it towards new heights. All it needs is a good marketing strategy and it will be good to go. Also, the DEX needs more liquidity but I think it will rise once people realize that is is not safe to use centralized exchanges like Poloniex due to hacks, etc. Decentralized exchanges will be the next big thing. Just my opinion.
