I have a couple questions

How does Bitshares manage it's Blockchain growth and storage over time? What happens to low volume markets?

There is some code in the toolkit for relaying encrypted mail, which will be used for messaging between users on the blockchain as well as broadcasting transactions to light weight clients. I believe this is one of the techniques they plan to utilize for dealing with a bloated chain.

Market assets require at least 51 delegates to be producing a price feed for said asset to enable trading. So markets can be phased in as the demand comes for them. If a low volume market is trading and stays low volume, I would assume it just remains so until interest in that market picks up.
