Although that is also my hope, it's not guaranteed. Amazing tech doesn't always win in the marketplace.

Whether it succeeds or fails is up to us to make happen. We have resources and tools, it's time to start using them to make some noise and spread the word. We need to mold and tweak the product to make it appealing to a wider audience than it is. There is much work to do and we need to take advantage of the technical lead we have before it slips away. I like Dash, but BitShares has named accounts NOW, it has a decentralized exchange NOW, it has been a functional DAC long before Dash that includes a more refined governance and "treasury" model (worker proposals) FOR OVER A YEAR. It has been an incubator for projects like STEEMIT, PEERPLAYS, BLOCKPAY and several others that show their face in the rankings CoinMarketCap far higher than the majority of projects there.

So yes, the tech is excellent. The BitShares community just needs to step up our game and create a marketing strategy that wlll let the world know all about it.
