Great speech. You should improve it with Graphs. Just think how the Tx/s would look in BTS vs ETH or BTC comparison. The only other project I know of who really wants to take scaling seriously is Dash. They are set for 400MB blocks. Still that's not much compared to what EOS is trying to deliver.
I'm wondering why any of these aren't going to the moon. BTC is reaching all time highs while being a terrible product. Exchanges won't be very friendly towards Bitshares. But that's no reason to stop buying. We may see BTS becoming the world's largest exchange if governments don't go nuts and ban companies from using BTS and similar decentralized products.
It makes no sense to have location based exchanges. What we really need is service based universal exchanges. Then there can be the best kind of competition. Think about any type of asset being tradable on a single exchange. Then the real competition will be purely focused on the best service than just getting some great stocks listed.
