Smart Contracts on Bitshares
"The BitShares platform itself is run and maintained by the BitShares community–an open consortium of individuals and organizations committed to providing universal access to the power of smart contracts."
The above quote is the only place I see smart contracts mentioned on the Bitshares.org website page where it's found.
But I remember hearing that Bitshares can run any Ethereum smart contract and run it faster. If that's true why are projects like The DAO choosing to use an inferior technology in Ethereum?
Wouldnt The DAO be better off running on the Bitshares blockchain since it is faster and has a decentralized exchange and apparently better security?
Should Bitshares perhaps start courting these smart contract projects like the one Nick Szabo is starting up?
Why are they choosing to do their projects on Ethereum instead of Bitshares if Bitshares is faster and more secure? Am I missing something? It seems like a no brainer!
