The bond market is a good example. I've lost track of the complete list. My point is that it's now time to start discussing what BitShares, the self-funding company, should be doing on a roadmap to the future. A key component of speculator interest is whether there is a dev team actively working on a list of promising new stuff. We are back to where we should probably have a small team of devs making the network seem alive to speculators.

Right now its very alive, but mostly due to 3rd party businesses doing their own private things that often don't directly impact the share price for speculators.
