Do we have any specific words of wisdom we are spreading via this sponsorship? should we be doing a poll of the most important aspects to broadcast?Good idea.
I would probably approach it more like this...
BitShares The Home Of SmartCoins
What is BitShares?
BitShares is a decentralized platform that runs on a blockchain like Bitcoin but with MUCH higher performance.
Our core invention is Price Stable SmartCoins which since inception in 2014 have successfully allowed users to hold the value of currencies & commodities on the blockchain. Over the next few years this technology will completely transform the world as you know it and here's why...
Global Payments (See you later PayPal!)
Stable BitShares SmartCurrencies like BitUSD let you make & receive payments globally for 0.1% which is up to 35x cheaper than leading centralized competitors.
Spread Trading Platform (Short IG Index & CMC!)
Trade popular SmartStocks and SmartIndexes on the BitShares blockchain at a fraction of the cost of leading spread trading platforms and without KYC. BitShares already offers the popular Nasdaq and Shenzen indexes.
Online MarketPlace (Asta la Vista Amazon!)
List & sell products directly & privately on the blockchain & in stable currencies like BitUSD for less than 0.1% in fees.
The Blockchain Economy
Due to volatility & tight margins, merchants have to convert Bitcoin payments directly to fiat. SmartCurrencies like BitUSD let merchants keep more of their proceeds on the blockchain, creating the potential to have entire supply chains & a blockchain economy that is independent of the traditional banking system.
Crypto Exchange (Arrivederci Coinbase!)
Traditional Bitcoin exchanges have high risks of thefts, seizures and shutdowns. BitShares lets you trade Bitcoin and other popular crypto-currency Smartcoins directly on the BitShares blockchain.
Digital Gold & Silver Vault
Physical gold has high storage costs, is difficult to move internationally and has historically been confiscated. Centralized derivatives like GLD have a high risk of default when there is a run on physical. BitGold & Silver lets you keep some of your portfolio on the blockchain free from those risks.
Subscription Services (Hello NetFlix!)
BitShares has recurring payment functionality which combined with SmartCurrencies bring the $30 Billion Subscription Market to the blockchain.
Transparent Crowdfunding (Nice Knowing you Kickstarter!)
Want to start a company doing anything you want and attract global investors without the red tape and high fees? BitShares lets you list, fund and trade on it's blockchain without the 3% processing fee charged by centralized competitors.
Global Remittance (So long Western Union!)
Due to Bitcoin volatility and slow confirmation times, Bitcoin has struggled to penetrate the $500 billion global remittance market. SmartCurrencies like BitUSD with their low fees and 3 second transaction times change this.
True Private Banking (At least Switzerland will still have watches and chocolate!)
BitShares allows anonymous global transactions and the ability to hold deposits in multiple SmartCurrencies, accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world. Your blockchain funds cannot be seized or scrutinized and are not affected by local or global banking crises.
Social Tipping & The Gift Economy
Social tipping is a new phenomenon which allows users on social media sites like Twitter, Reddit & Facebook to give a tip to content they appreciate and companies like ShareBits.io have already been integrated with the BitShares platform to take advantage of this.
Online Charity
Currency Smartcoins and $0.01 transaction fees make small online charity donations affordable, transparent and fast.
Sports Betting
BitShares prediction markets allow private wagering on sports events that can penetrate a huge global market without restriction while also reducing the average 'vig' of 5-10% to under 1%. BitShares has already offered wagering on 2016 NFL games. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-3040540/Global-sports-gambling-worth-3-trillion.html
Global Lottery
Lotteries lose up to 50% on running costs, taxes and other expenses. BitShares RNG provides provably fair draws and with ticket sales directly on the blockchain, total running costs could be less than 1%.
Blockchain Casino
Winner winner Chicken Dinner! Volatility is cited as the number one reason more online casinos don't integrate Bitcoin, Smartcurrencies like BitUSD solve this problem and BitShares could even offer traditional Casino games on the blockchain for a fraction of the cost and penetrate the lucrative $30 billion onine gambling market.
Global Personal Insurance
By reducing traditional fixed costs and using the wisdom of the crowd for claim validation, the inventor of Smartcoins is attempting to revolutionize personal insurance by developing the first blockchain based Mutual Aid Society on the BitShares platform.
I think we should highlight how even though we fight and we bicker and we call each other names, at the end of the day we vote and we move on.I am with you puppies!
We should be like a family that fights internally, but if any member of the family is attacked by an outsider we all gang up on the attacker.
I may have disagreements with some community members, but I would take them over any bitcoiners any day.

first sponsored episode is tonight, here's what Amanda sent me.Good summaries indeed. And it's getting even better when spoke by a [damn, what word is it?]
Hi, Jonny! I'm currently writing up the messaging for the 20 days of sponsorship. To make sure I'm on the right path, I'd like to get the first three messages approved by you. Here they are:
1 – Today's episode is brought to you by Bitshares, a fast currency with just 3 second block times and a decentralized exchange built into its native wallet. There you can trade user-issued asset tokens, as well as value-pegged tokens like bitUSD and bitBTC – all without ever having to give up your private keys to a centralized exchange. You can learn more about the currency and its ecosystem at bitshares.org.
2 - Today's episode is brought to you by Bitshares, a currency which features usernames instead of long alphanumeric addresses to increase the ease of sending and receiving payments. The next release of Bitshares will offer the ability to make confidential transactions, an upgrade in privacy for all Bitshares users. You can download the smart-looking desktop wallet at bitshares.org, or simply try out the web version at openledger.info.
3 – Today's episode is brought to you by Bitshares, a proof-of-stake currency that offers a FIAT on-ramp to its ecosystem through the exchange CCEDK. The system seeks to attract developers by offering dividends on features created for the currency via Feature-Backed Asset tokens. You can learn more about Bitshares governance, features, and incentives at bitshares.org.
@JonnyBitcoin
Why wasn't today's episode of TheDailyDecrypt sponsored by BitShares (it was sponsored by The Galt Project)?
I thought that we had paid to sponsor 4 weeks of episodes. If they were all consecutive it would have the greatest impact.
Either way it should have been mentioned. When you say you sponsor 4 weeks of episodes everyone will think its exclusive to BitShares.@JonnyBitcoin

@onceupontime The 16th was a day the daily decrypt had pre booked with someone else. Bitshares sponsorship will continue consecutively from now on.

Imagine if by some chance that episode included some major news that everyone would rush to see, reaching lots of views in a single week and this happened. It would feel unfair.
