not abandoned there was some stalemate with the various developers, but in my opinion bitshares is the baby of dan larimer, and he wants to see it through. it's a different blockchain and protocol, so different use cases.

Dan might want it to succeed but his golden goose is here. Can't see him ever going back to bitshares.

well Iam have the same thoughts as you, I am still holding some bitshares, but not sure what to do with if since theres steemit.

It seems pointless to follow a dead project while this on probably makes him thousands every day. I think it can be said that it was a good first try
