BitShares recently integrated stealth transactions (unknown sender/receiver/amount)(Monero-level anon, not heavy like Zcash or light like coin mixing).
So, now, if the BTS community forced its devs to implement the Ether EVM, would you have:
DARK-Ethereum?
(Ethereum with anonymity)
I'm still not sure how or if the benefits of BitShares (speed, scalability,anonymity) could be applied to Ethereum in such an integration.
So maybe even if you could not increase the speed or scalability of Ethereum, it might be worthwhile (spend dev funds) to build the DARK-Ethereum.
interesting I had no idea BTS had that capability.
