The little interest in this thread just shows what people think of the project, it started as a very ambitious project, but as time goes it faded in the crowd, there are alot of projects now that Bitshares can't compete with
Lol, there have been so many projects like this, funny enough; they just end up having supports at the end of the day. There was a lot of hope for these coins, but as it is, no one really like losing that much on any coin which can really change their perspective within seconds, and the delisting on bittrex really started the first problem for this coin.
I lost so much holding this coin without quickly knowing it was getting delisted. Seems though that it is trying to have a comeback gradually now. Now with so many projects coming up like you said, the competition is so high that BTS may not even stand a chance.
