Well, thank
you @roelandp, SteemFest was a blast!! Organization was top-notch, people were awesome, and I haven't spent 3 days like that in a long time (if ever), my brain is still buzzing with ideas and discussions I had with people there (and ok, maybe, just a little bit of alcohol as well
).
It was very interesting to see that people had lots of ideas that they actually realized they could implement on top of BitShares, had they only known about it or its possibilities. I have been told more than once that people loved user-issued assets and it could help them implement their business ideas.
We, as a community, have always put forward the market-pegged assets (which are awesome in their own right), but UIAs actually solve a lot of problems for a lot of people, so maybe marketing efforts should focus a bit more on them in the future.
In any case, I think that this worker proposal was money well spent, as I could see that lots of people grasping the potential of BitShares, a "sleeping giant" (not my words), and I'll definitely be there for SteemFest 3!
btw, slides for my introduction can be found here:

@Chris4210 for his slides as well, his presentation was kick-ass and put BitShares under a really good light.
