BTS is in my opinion one of few best cryptos out there and I have invested significant amount of money in it. I really don't understand why everybody takes, talk about and use Bitshares only as DEX and main usage of BTS is as collateral for bitUSD or bitCNY. Two main projects on bitshares are Openledger and Crypto Bridge, again two DEX. There is so many other possible use cases of BTS and I think it should be used and promoted as a payment coin beside all other things.
It is fastest coin at moment and with username addresses which it have it would be lot easier to pay for things with BTS than any other crypto. If Dan makes DEX on EOS (I hope wil not and BTS will be transferred to EOS for that purpose) than BTS will be in big problem...
I would like that we, holders and users of BTS start promoting BTS as a also payment coin because bitshares ecosystem would benefit a lot in my opinion...
