If BitShares themselves, the crypto, were to suffer a catastrophic fall of say 80-99% in a short period of time, for whatever reason, what would happen to those who're invested in the dollar-pegged instrument, as in that case the peg wouldn't even have bitshares themselves to back-up the peg. It seems BitShares' dollar-equivlanets tradables main problem is that of catastrophic risk, but no one talks about this.

another question: what the heck is OpenLedger, and why is it different from BitShares DEX? This has always been confusing, and frankly its one of the main reasons we go nowhere near that exchange.

The other, and bigger reason, is the extraction fee is HUMONGOUS. I dunno if BitShares thinks it's kinda hidden, but removing, say, Steem from BitShares draws a rather large, as a % of assets, charge as a withdrawal fee. Why is this so big? It sorta defeats the redeeming quality of crypto-currencies, if you end up paying insane fees just to remove your crypto. So we can see why BitShares offers the dollar-peg product, bc removing one's "cash" from it is so self-defeating, but it doesn't alleviate the desire to just not put any money IN BitShares, thus no fees.

So these are our questions for you to ask him on tonite's show, feel free to paraphrase them.
