I think Bitshares is so undervalued for multiple reasons...lack of simplification. It's just so complex (like you said) like an onion with so many layers. I like how you said people don't want to build the highway if they're in the car business. So true.
Another reason it's undervalued is lack of marketing and people to explain it in a simple way. The de-listing from Bittrex probably played some part. Those are just a few.
Thanks for your thoughts in this article! Haha, I only clicked on you because of your name and picture, because I literally used "Airbud" in an article I wrote yesterday, haha. Turns out your most recent article was about one of my fave cryptos! Nice to meet you :)
