, great post. Since a couple of weeks I I'm also using the OpenLedger DEX and submitted all of my bitshares to this wallet, even before the currently discussed delisting on Bittrex. I like the vision of being my own bank :) Just the lack of good fiat gateways and the low trading volume are a bit of disturbing. But due to the fact, that we are just in the beginnings it's not that problem, IMHO. And for buying and holding it's perfect. Cheers.
