All true @stan, but I'm baffled as to why so many people don't like the bitshares platform. I think it works just awesome, and like you say has been for years. There was a bit of a learning curve, but once you figure it out the functionality and usability is the best I've seen. Can anybody offer an opinion on this?

I've heard it explained as the learning curve can be steep if the payoff is high (Like using Autocad) vs. a shallow learning curve on a less powerful platform (like hotmail / gmail).
If the path to getting in is as easy as using your bank website which may only require jumping thru 1-2 hoops (opening account at your bank, setting up your online profile, you're ready to go) vs. Buying bitshares (buy BTC / Eth somewhere else, transferring it to Bitshares wallet, selling it to buy BTS at the right price, possibly moving it off the exchange wallet after (because exchange wallets shouldn't be trusted, etc.).
I see it as one of the big challenges to mass adoption. For us in early it's awesome and worth jumping thru those hoops because the rewards can be astronomical, but for mass adoption we'll need to make the on-ramps smoother /easier.
Watch the new website next week and then comment.
Will do! Looking forward to it. I want to use Bitshares.org more too. Nothing beats decentralized in this day. Ease of use and Decentralized. I'll buy a LTM at that point.
Hi Sauna, what do you use the platform for mainly and what could I be using it for?
I know about Hero and Smart coins, but I think a simple video explanation will do wonders.
Also I think Bitshares the exchange platform, it might be me, but I think the black color doesn't do itself justice, it doesn't invite people to stare at it for long, much prefer white or a lighter color.
Well let's see, I transfer value around as bitshares (someone wanted to get paid partly in bts), I have bought and sold bts, btc and a handful of user created assets such as brics. I'm also using the openledger dex for holding my Qora as I couldn't get their wallet to work. So, you can use it as a wallet, (you control your keys), and you can trade dozens of coins and assets in a de-centralized manner. I believe you can change the colour to something else. Never bothered with that, I don't mind the black.
