Markets are funny beasts; One thing Bitshares has is a core community of long term hodlers many familiar faces who have been around for years.
As smartcoin demand grows BTS circulating supply decreases.. with 20% of all BTS being used as collateral at the moment and smartcoins just taking off it should be good to watch into the future.. i also think 2018 DEX platforms will see a rise in popularity as regulations force centralized entities to lean on their users with more kyc and increase in account limitations.
Thanks for your kind comment
The crypto Market in general is so funny now, seeing all coin flag red one week the other week rise up a little, not stable like some months back.
