BitShares is alive and kicking ... down like everything else, it has held it's head above water through some difficult trials and tribulations. The blockchain never stopped for 9 years, and is still the best tech, indeed. Time for the journey back to 10 cents, possibly a lot more. Now is the best price to buy i have EVER seen!!
Disclaimer: being optimistic never killed me yet.
Admire your enthusiasm, seems like a dead project to me.
Just like Beos, no development for years.
Have you looked at the GitHub? BitShares is full of continual development. Many repos updated just in the past weeks. Loads of new features. Still in top 500 on CMC. https://github.com/orgs/bitshares/repositories
You should really do some research before making such innacurate statements.
