Great post @lovejoy... what an openness!
I watched the Bitshares P2P Tour youtube video about the time when it was released. The content is great but I couldn't appreciate the characters back then because I didn't know so much about them. Some months ago, I started listening to the weekly podcast from "Beyond Bitcoin" @officialfuzzy, watching the video again makes me to really appreciate the content and the characters (dev-team) even more. After listening to them in so many mumble sessions. It is indeed awesome to put faces to those voices - the ones behind the scene.
Thanks for the post and the work you do for the community!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! I wanted to do more videos but I just didn't have the time and resources. I think I'll be able to make good on some of my intentions in this realm now with some steem power in my engine! I still love the BitShares project and I hope it gets a breath of fresh air from the success of Steem.
