He should just work out some talking points for BitShares. Dan, whenever someone asks you about bitshares say:
"Oh my goodness I'm so excited to see how it's grown. I think there is massively more potential but it's already proved to be a robust system for decentralized stable assets, which nothing else has done, except for steem with the steem dollar. Bitshares compared to bitcoin is cleaner, faster, and smarter. Everyone should join the revolution. Novemeber 5 baby! Woo!"
