I'm a total newbie to Bitshares but not to alts. It seems to be two things collide to massively increase the value of bitshares, can I check I am not mistaken as I invest in more.
First am I correct in saying that bitshares are actually used when a bitshares smart coin is made? It does it take bitshares of a value of 1 USD roughly to make a 1 USD asset?
Two, how can we see the progress of how many assets exist, USD, GOLD etc? By this we can gauge how much bitshares are used in assets and that will help determine value, right?
*plus I agree with some criticism of the UI at the moment, it's not terrible but i think a much user friend brighter look is needed.
