To be honest, I haven't messed with the Bitshares DEX at all since all of the coins I'm interested in trading are primarily on Binance & Bittrex. But a quick look into coinmarketcap.com shows that the Bitshares DEX doesn't have a lot of trading volume, which is probably why I haven't delved much into it.

What are your thoughts on it? Is it something you'd recommend? Would really love to know more as I'm always open to using more exchanges :)

Yeah, I really believe that the Bitshares DEX could be huge. Today it is totally undervalued I think... Here is a pretty good info about BTS: https://coincentral.com/what-is-bitshares/

Also see this, it is the fastest blockchain with the lowest fees around there:

That's really interesting, thanks for your input! Yeah @jedau is super bullish on it, and it really does seem like there's a lot of potential. My only experience with a DEX so far has been EtherDelta, and that's pretty primitive to say the least. But it looks as if the UI of the Bitshares DEX is WAY better so I'll definitely be checking it out soon! Thanks a lot :)

Bitshares was one of my first exchanges, and I like the technology behind it. Being a decentralized exchange, you really truly own your wallet as opposed to the other exchanges, so that's good for the security end. But, unfortunately, it has a low trading volume, and as you said, doesn't have a lot of coin offering. As BitShares (the coin) grows, BitShares DEX would undoubtedly follow suit, and it would be an awesome platform. Until that day, it's great to have alternate exchanges to trade on to grow our portfolio :D
