Bitshares has been off the radar for a bit and I wanted to let you know that it is set to explode soon!!!!
First off Bitshares-PTS is an angel fund that will get you a stake in a lot of DAC's, the first one Bitshares X (Which is a bank and exchange that will also help you hold the value of a $ or gold in a decentralised way) is in advanced testing and is being released soon.
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=5250.0 - That has already been allocated but it is looking fantastic and will bring a lot of attention to Bitshares-PTS.
There are snapshots coming up that will get you good stakes in some great companies, Bitshares Music, Bitshares DNS & Bitshares Lottery just to name a few.
Personally my favourite is Bitshares music it's going to be like Hollywood Stock Exchange but real and for music, where artists can sell shares in their songs/albums and you get a proceed of their sales, it even looks like some labels may be interested so you may even be able to buy shares in artists revenue from other sources too. They've got a great guy with loads of industry experience.
The other big reasons are -
-You can get a stake in Bitshares through Bitshares-AGS but only for the next 25 days, when this closes the only way will be Bitshares-PTS. (So all the demand for AGS will be re-directed to PTS, right now BTC/PTS volume is very low so any increased demand will shoot up price imo!)
http://www1.agsexplorer.com/- The Bitshares-AGS donation rate will probably increase substantially in the last 10-15 days, driving up demand for Bitshares-PTS, too.
(You can get AGS buy donating BTC or PTS so more people donating PTS in the last days means increased demand.)
- DPOS their new system to rival POW and POS will be released in the next few weeks and is currently in advanced testing.

All in all I think it is the perfect time to buy, what do you guys think of Bitshares?
I would like to cash out some of them. I have my wallet in cold storage. I've been waiting _f o r e v e r_ for Bitshares-X to start working like a cryptocurrency that I can buy/sell.
