These kind of services are not competitors to BTS. They're gateways, and we could benefit greatly from them integrating with bitshares and issuing their IOUs on our blockchain.

Maybe they would make bitGOLD directly exchangeable for their bitgold, like btc38 accepting bitCNY as equivalent to CNY.  It would reward them with purchases from BitShares users, and reward BitShares by having the bitGOLD backed by their bitgold.

bitreserve could do the same thing.

If we reach a market cap 10x what we have now, each fully paid delegate will be earning 30 000$ a month. That means we can have potentially 100 teams of people all around the world working on developing, designing and promoting BitShares.

If we can hit a critical mass like this (it could even be less) and sustain it for awhile, then this thing is "game over". Continued growth will be inevitable and no one else will be able to compete.

I think it's a mistake to introduce too many political overtones. .... Politics divides people, it does not draw them together. If you want the most people on your side, then those who get it will come seeing the potential; and let others come mistaking what it will do for them.

.....  I would suggest more that the vision is about empowering individuals and allowing them control and opportunity.

I should add:

Easy fiat onramps from USD into both BTS and bitUSD.
