man i am not going to lie...you should join our hangouts and ask as many questions about bitshares as you can.

It literally has been so underrated for so long (and often misrepresented by CryptoMedia in general) that it actually took STEEM to bring people to it--indirectly I might add (many people in crypto don't even know what bitshares is). But just think...#bitshares has the following:

1. Separations of Power BUILT IN (yeh...you heard me---no other blockchain has this)
2. 3 sec (theoretically could go to 1.5ish) tx times
3. the potential to scale to accommodate well over 100k tx per second (so combine Visa, Mastercard and American Express)
4. the flexibility of the codebase to customize blockchains (like steem)
5. worker proposal system to pay for its own development and let token holders vote for said proposals
6. Smartcoins that can essentially turn any commodity, stock, currency or basket thereof into a blockchain secured value storage instrument based on the world's FIRST #blockchain prediction market--and yes it really is the 1st (like I said before many people are misinformed or don't even know about bitshares).
7. the abililty to be customized to be as decentralized as possible or as centralized as possible (for any use case requiring a blockchain)
8. and finally drumroll please! it is its own decentralized exchange where all other Decentralized Autonomous Corporations (DACs) can be traded.

So let me ask you..do you think steem will be the last blockchain mr larimer builds? Do you think BTS is going to get more volume when steem and things like #peerplays begin getting traded? Someday you will be able to trade an oz of crypto gold (backed by 200% collateral) for your favorite cryptocurrency...

Yeh man you kind of ran into a goldmine of information on here. If you like digging through this stuff you will foam at the mouth. :D

Here is a video to whet your lips:
