Well, we've always wanted more on and off ramps for BitShares. So this helps us there.
We thought about limiting the currencies we support to just Graphene-based blockchains, but decided that it made more sense to support ALL the popular coins and use the opportunity to interact with people from many communities as a way to call their attention to what the BitShares Decentralized Exchange can do for them. We still need to design that part of the website but didn't want to hold up going live with the features we already have ready for prime time.
It would be smart you take NO FEES(or discount) for BTS and STEEM transactions OR something like that! That would create enough BUZZ around STEEM & BITSHARES... Many would exchange their cryptos for STEEM & BTS to get the discount !!! So they would get more familiar with our technology/currencies!
$0 + 0% fees or
$10 + 0% fees or
$5 + 1% fees etc...
or something like that ;)
I will consider that to push adoption, our goal was to get the mobile app up, and then start playing with a push to educate about smartcoins/UIA, and give them incentive to do so - such as your lower fees idea.
Thx for the input @liondani
Good to know, thanks ;)
