Both the decentralized platform for financial services and the smart platform for businesses sound very good. I actually think that Zephyr and Agorise are very good horses to pull BitShares in that context. As there is currently no FIAT gateway, they should join forces, we might not need more to get it going.
I must say i have 2 full-time jobs + family, i shouldn't offer too much help in that context. But i would love to work where the heart is and that is crypto off course. Some regular crypto workshops, ambassador for Agorise, these are possibilities for me in 2018, are you involved with Agorise?
