There is a GUI being developed to interact with the market and put in bids/shorts for BitUSD. There are some screenshots floating around (looks quite promising). And yes after acquiring BitAssets you can send them on to a merchant's address for example.
It doesn't look promising but its a start. The GUI needs to be configurable. It needs to be skinnable and extensible.
Well said
What do you guys think of my idea of marketing two products (Bitshares for traders and BitAssets for normal users)?
That way you could leave all the complicated stuff out of a video for example and make it more or less fool proof and focus on the real world like paying in your own currency but with all the benefits and none of the flaws of bitCoin. Video has to be in a format like this in my opinion:

customers have to be excited about the features and how easy it is. We should not talk about the prediction market and all its features. This should be separate in my opinion.
sanity check?
