I think the overall feeling by people who know Dan from Bitshares, he rode this pony into the ground and now needs new pony. Bitshares chart looks a lot like the steem one. Bitshares never recovered, i hope steem can, i bought a big chunk at 18k sats... looking like a write off.
I only know this from reading the BCT post here. (i do not know who the poster is)
