I would reduce the first paragraph to just:
"The BitShares community is a group of individuals who are looking to change the world through innovation and cooperation."

and reduce point 3 to just:
"When you buy BitShares you become a voting member of our community and can help contribute to the governance of our community. By owning BitShares you have put your money where your mouth is and get to share in the wealth produced by our growing community."  That explains it perfectly, no need for the over-selling.

Other wise I thought it was great.

Price feed published + version updated and published! 

Thoughtful comments here please.  Avoid mentioning BitShares as it would set of alarm bells and very short posts like 'great vid!' are best not bothered with.  Just talk about UIAs and what could be done with them.  We just want people to watch the video.  Lets get a big discussion going, long posts (3 lines minimum please, unless your posting a question) well crafted, don't spam it and don't mention BitShares if at all possible!  Let the vid do the selling.

Brilliant! 
Max Keiser should know about this.

It's the best episode yet by far.

This is a great episode btw if you've not watched it yet.  The whole thing is packed with good info.

OK, so PTS + AGS have particularly useful people to strongly incentivise who are technical and maybe ideologically aligned making the drop about more than fulfilling the social contract (and what seemed like 'over-fulfilling' it in my mind).  Point taken. 

66% being dropped on the just devs was a bit of an exaggeration, I don't know the distribution I just presume PTS+AGS are less evenly distributed with more larger founder stakes than BTS which has much higher trading volume.

Market cap has value as a sharedrop distribution factor because it could be used to pay a delegate to work on DVS or as BM suggested to buy DVS.

Keeping PTS + AGS alive makes explaining BitShares more complicated, that's a reason not to drop on them.  When you get to the part about explaining about the occasional sharedrops you have to then explain PTS + AGS.  Admittedly this isn't a major part of BTS due its massive feature set, but still, it confuses an already very complex message and will inevitably cause some BTS buyers to give up.  Also better to nip it in the bud or the distribution squabbling will happen every time.

All else I can say is BTS drop does incentive PTS + AGS due to the BTS drops on those chains, so PTS + AGS are being over-incentivized, and pure BTS holders under-incentivized.  If a truly even drop on all 3 groups was desired then it would be more like 20/20/60 or 15/15/70.

I'll leave it at that as I'm starting to repeat myself.

I sometimes have the opposite feeling, that bitUSD is more shiny than and old farty USD, but that's just me lol.

Its possible that the bitassets could carry a premium over the real asset because bitshares offers a yield.

+ better transferability (if the other person can receive it, as in global, can send it to a name rather than a bank account) + privacy.
