I assume that's to make sure I don't forget?

By the way, BunkerShares just launched its presale campaign...  another business using the BitShares platform.

“If we do BitShares right, users will use it without even knowing they’re using it. BitShares will be like FDIC insured, that’s the kind of approach that will get the most adoption, because you don’t want to have just one thing. And it also encourages wider adoption if you have many different companies do it, and it’s seen as a neutral platform, versus BitShares being the company that’s trying to make all of the money and trying to compete with everyone else. We should allow everyone to come in [and] use BitShares. BitShares [would] be a neutral platform, utility if you will, that provides trust free settlement of orders and contracts.”

- Daniel Larimer

^^^^^ THIS.. I recall listening and when he said that I was like.. YEEEES! That's spot on the direction that needs to be taken.  +5%

For the sake of completeness to this "historically significant" archival thread, I'll post this here too.

When you hold BitShares, this is your community:

Welcome back! This month we are bursting at the seams with BitShares projects, updates,
reports, announcements, initiatives, proposals, and editorial reflections. We encourage you
to take your time, soak it up, and reflect on the grand effort now underway by this amazing
group of dedicated professionals. If you like what you see, don’t forget to cast your votes
from within your BitShares client!

Lots of promising projects, worth to at least check it out  

"Perhaps the most exciting update I have for the BitShares community is in regards to Follow
My Vote’s recent visit to Oslo, Norway. As the Founder and CEO of Follow My Vote, I was
invited overseas to attend a national meeting for the Pirate Party of Norway.  Members of the
Pirate Party had recently learned about the verifiable online voting platform we are
developing in partnership with BitShares and wanted to learn more about it first hand."

"DACx (Delegate: dacx.baozou) has been a main focus in the Chinese community for a long
time for its crowd-funding platform using the BitShares blockchain. The business model was
reported on city wide TV program in Shanghai last week. Some people are even stockpiling
bitCNY in order to participate in the crowd-funding projects to come on DACx"


That's just some of the interesting stuff we have happening atm!

This is a friendly reminder to all Bitshares holders that you are paying Stan to post dog pictures to this ridiculous thread.  Good investment.  Stan maybe when you're done milking this Bitshares scam for all it's worth you can get a job with the Doges.

thanks for bumping de

[StanLarimer]

Special thanx need to go to @emailtoaj for the initial layout and design of these flyers.
Special thanx need to go to @cass for the design of the bitAssets, logos and a few of the other icons that I used.
 
I decided that the easiest way to allow for translation in multiple languages was to create the flyers in (open source) google docs format.
 

• Open the file in google docs
• File > "Make a copy..."
• Name the file and save it in your google drive
• Edit the BTS:kencode affiliate text to your own username
• Replace the QR code image with your own (create one here: the-qrcode-generator.com (Type:URL > Options > No margin))
• Edit the URL below the QR code to your own, or just type your email address there

If desired, I can create your Spanish, Mandarin, French, etc versions for you. Just send me the text for each section and I'll post them here for everyone.
Let me know also if it needs to be in A4, 8.5x11, etc.

Not sure why the authors said we were only the fourth most popular chain.
Great Grandma Larimer assures me we are the most popular.

Who are you gonna believe anyway?  Cointelegraph or her?

Anyway, here's an article with actual content!

I enjoy BitShares, but why in the world did it have to be Amanda Johnson that decided to write this article

[StanLarimer]

I'm pretty sure this is not a puppy, but it's got that energetic puppy inquisitiveness about it, that cats find so endearing.

It's like it smells that something GREAT is in the air!

How are the updates on the client?  The software you guys released last year was really disappointing.
