Title: Glidera - First Non-Custodial Bitcoin Buying Service for Wallets

This would really be great to integrate into Bitshares wallets.  They are already looking at Ethereum.  At least as a start we can probably find a way to use the Glidera API to purchase Bitcoin and automatically convert them into Smartcoins via Metaexchange  and other bridges.

Not sure exactly how they do it, but it seems like a fantastic service.   My guess is that they somehow allow people to buy/sell peer-to-peer using bank ACH and use multi-sig escrow so they don't need to take custody.   I was thinking about something similar, but wasn't sure about irreversibility...  anyways this is exciting.
