Bitshares is great. Its been around since 2014 but has not been adopted. No one wants to use decentralized exchanges at this moment in time.. so is buying some now a good idea? Maybe so long as the price is stable at this range.. but I don't think tha's the case. Another BTC bull run or bad news will make this drop even further. I think I will just wait and see what happens with bts.. this is not the bottom.
Decentralized exchanges are the next logical step in the future of decentralized cryptocurrencies (and even beyond currencies, assets, contracts, etc). Bitshares has been around for a long time, and has been perfecting their product long before the newcomers have even released Beta versions. Buy now while others are still trying to figure it out, or buy later after the train has already left the station.
