Luke I appreciate you sharing that you did this because I was thinking about it also! The problem I see is the buying into BitShares to begin with. Currently we have to use a gateway which means buying first Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin with USD then using blocktrades to get into BitShares. If the process could go straight from USD to BitShares then I would be sold! If I could buy BitShares straight with Steem without using a gateway which usually takes a significant fee in the middle, I would also get in right away.
