Here is how I look at BitShares. It's a platform to build DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations). Itself BitShares is a DAC offering decentralized exchange services. It has the ability to reward people and firms that support its network value.
For example. We could draft a worker proposal that you and I will write news about BitShares and publish it on steem every day for one month. We can get paid for this as if we work for BitShares because we are providing services for the DAC.
okay.............. so the 'project' could be the fact that we would be writing and the voting would be for whether we get paid for it.
Yes. Maybe an upcoming post discuss your journey as a new BitShares account holder. I've been in this game for over a year now so a lot of things have become second-nature. Your perspective would be valuable - and we can seek promotional funding once you WOW the bts holders.
