How many bitshares do you own?

Here is my answer to how many I own:

I have stopped thinking about BitShares as an investment, and I now think of it more as a path to freedom and an inevitability:

-BitShares saves you from banks that give a crappy interest rate.
-BitShares saves you from central banks that want to steal through inflation.
-BitShares saves you from exchanges that force annoying & intrusive KYC rules on you.

I first heard about BitUSD from Bytemaster's original YT video, and it instantly resonated with me because I was so annoyed at having to send Bitcoin to Bitstamp just to trade it. So I then bought PTS & AGS at that early stage.

And today whenever I hear Bytemaster's philosophical musings about creating value and preventing violence, I get more and more confident that BitShares is going to succeed because it has a moral purpose behind it. So Im still buying more BTS today.

Market cap guesses:

$30-80million for the rest of the year (only down to $30mil if bitcoin crashes below $300 again)

$100-$500million Q1 2015 (marketing campaign going, mobile wallets ready, maybe bitcoin bubble at the same time taking us to the high end of this prediction, if no bitcoin bubble/rally then max $300mil)

Q4 2014 $300mil-$2Billion

These aren't based on anything.

How many do you own, what do you feel the potential marketcap or value is in a year or two?

There is only one answer to this question: not enough.

Market cap: $5 billion. For starters. BitShares is FAR more useful than Bitcoin ever will be. There's no reason in the world it should not have at least the same market cap.

Potential market cap -- 2 billion in one year. 30 billion in 2 years. Trillion in 5 years.
