What does BTS offer that is unique in the cryptocoin space? I was looking into it the other day on this forum and it has very few threads and basically no shills which is weird.
BitShares is a decentralized financial market. Currently more financial based by having the ability to buy/sell/trade stocks, bonds, currencies, assets, etc... Just like ETH it will be exciting to see what apps will be built upon the BTS network. The developers have been around for a LONG time and simply looking at their github history shows how dedicated and serious they are with this project.
Start reading the articles on BitShares.org while also trying the wallet. The wallets are sudo web based. You still hold the keys on your computer however use a gateway to access the blockchain.
