Hi @mlstephens,

1. BitShares can process thousands of transactions per second. There will be no blockchains jams with this ICO. Fees are also tiny.

2. BitShares has a built in exchange, meaning there will be no waiting around or complicated process to claim your tokens. It all happens automatically, check out the step by step guide on the website.

3. Because BitShares has a built in exchange the tokens will immediately have a place you can trade them. If you want to sell your coins before the buy back day, you can just sell them to someone else right on the BitShares exchange!
