Every opportunity is a window that is in the process of closing.
Bitshares is a decentralized exchange for cryptocurrencies.
It’s fast!
Faster than anything out there... With 1-2 second block times, it is capable of 100,000 + transactions per second.
Bitshares has a problem, though. Adoption.
Adoption has stagnated. With low usage comes poor liquidity, lack of price parity with outside exchanges, and virtually unusable trading pairs.
Bitshares has the speed to dominate the decentralized exchange category, but the community’s decision to curb inflation and cut development and marketing expenditures has crippled its ability to capitalize on its strengths.
Right now, Bitshares is the fastest blockchain in the space. With the development of EOS, however, the chief advantage.. speed.. will be in the grasp of others. The window of opportunity is rapidly closing.
A major competitor has already announced their intention to decentralize their exchange and develop the new platform on EOS. Others will follow.
Bitshares only hope is to increase adoption. Hype is not way to raise its price. People have to use the exchange. People have to utilize the smart assets. Only wide-spread investment into the Bitshares exchange will improve its liquidity, market parity, and result in an increase its value to the market.
Will the bitshares community respond to the threat, or will Bitshares continue to have permanent potential.. Potential that may never be realized?
Will the Bitshares community re-institute inflation to fund new development, interface enhancements/simplification, and marketing the platform?
Will the Bitshares exchange move to the EOS platform to solve the fee issue?
Can the stake holders, who have the ability to make a difference, move the platform into a position capitalize on the delineating strengths that set Bitshares apart from its competitors, while it still has the ability to dominate the market?
Bitshares is Amazing. Bitshares Should Succeed.
But the window is closing.
