RE: Bitshares - State of the Network - 26th September 2017
I've "tried" to use Bitshares before but if I'm not mistaken, the exchange does not support any fiat currency. Rather, it's all in cryptocurrency... If so, what's the added benefits in using Bitshares as compared to exchange services like ShapeShift or Changelly?
Bitshares is so much more... but to start with:
Bitshares has fiat on and off ramps provided by OpenLedger (an exchange business based on the Bitshares network - previously CCEDK). OCASH will also launch soon allowing accounts to be connected to a debt card.
Bitshares also has similar services to Shapeshift and Changelly provided by Blocktrades. Blocktrades runs a independent business just like shapeshift but is also baked right into the wallet. They are also operating the gateways for most Altcoins allowing Alts to trade on the DEX.
Everything else that is Bitshares is cream on top
Plus heaps more - https://bitshares.org/technology/
What is the timeline or ETA for OCASH launch? Really that's the only missing piece for this d-exchange to take off.
