hello there, this is my first post around here. I'm a crypto enthusiast, also I like programming. First of all, I would like to know what is Bitshares, I want to know about the practical uses, I want to read answers from the users (Pro's & Con's). How could I get benefits from it? What could I do to help or invest in the platform? Also what the platform can do for me if I decide to invest in it. What is the vision of Bitshares? What plans do you have in mind for the next 5 years? What about stability and long term economy while using bitshares?

Thanks for your time.
