I agree! I'm all for patience and strategy but if the important stuff is ready, let's get more eyes on 2.0.! Thousands of devs could suddenly be incentivised to start building interfaces.
Bitshares 2.0 needs volume more than anything else, it needs to find ways to take advantage of it's 100,000 transactions per second, and we need to fully take advantage of the innovation momentum.
We might have 6 months lead time before everyone else catches up to Bitshares 2.0, so in that time you would want to do everything you can to boost volume, bring in new users, and show the world what you can do with these specs. It's kind of like video card or GPU developers don't sell the cards just on specs, they show some demos.
We need some demo products to prove to people that Bitshares 2.0 can do what other platforms can't. Once people realize you can't do it on Bitcoin no matter how much Bitcoin developers try to claim otherwise, then Bitshares 2.0 will find it's niche.
I think Bitshares 2.0 has plenty of opportunities in the ATM market, the exchange sites, which will now be easy to set up and wont require regulations, the majority of exchanges host other people's money, are money transmitters, probably aren't even profitable, and they could all be convinced to switch over to Bitshares 2.0 or else lose competitive advantage.
Perhaps Shapeshift could use Bitshares 2.0 on the backend or something like Shapeshift, and then expand out from there. My opinion is Minebitshares can be leveraged.
