Your enthusiasm for the chain is great. I mimic the exceptional possibilities for the BitShares chain. It has managed to grow, acquire businesses who use the chain for some form of data retention and do all of that with a decentralized governance platform.
The Bitshares chain is secured and will likely move forward as a decentralized governance chain. With that said, I think saying this is a Bitshares Alliance is untrue. Perhaps it is from AriseBank, but AriseBank has the responsibility of becoming a project operating within the Bitshares ecosystem responsibly. An airdrop isn't going to solidify any sort of Bitshares / Arise partnership. In fact, Bitshares elected representatives would be wise to avoid such partnership as collusion in the decentralized blockchain sphere would diminish the value and integrity of the elected workers, committee and witnesses.
In other words, as a token holder I will vote to make Bitshares decentralized and business neutral.
But I do support Arises initiative and look forward to businesses considering Graphene chains as a means of data retention.
If you think this partnership will not end well for Bitshares you are wrong, AriseBank will include bitUSD in their exchange and will greatly boost the demand for bitUSD which will boost the price of Bitshares.

You obviously did not read what I had written -- at all.
I gave my opinion on this "Alliance".
