I've been watching Bitshares pretty closely for a while now and wrote an article about it back in April. I feel I've got a pretty good understanding of what you plan to achieve (despite the crazy maze of branding that new users have to navigate their way through!)

Bitshares looks pretty promising but I still haven't invested, although I did get tipped some pts at some point (cheers fuznuts!) Now I don't want to get put on the stake here, but lately all my 'bitcoin 2.0' investment capital has been flowing into Nxt. Despite this, Bitshares still holds my interest. DPOS and corresponding block/confirmation time sounds great and could very well be a superior system to Nxt and its planned transparent forging. It's excellent that Bitshares has some implementation of pure proof of stake as the basis for all its projects, something we can all agree on is that POW and associated meta-coin projects (Counterparty, Mastercoin) are supremely disadvantaged by riding on antique chains.

But I don't want to discuss different POS implementations, it's insignificant in comparison to what you might have in the pipe. I want to write an article about how Bitshares X plans to track real world asset values in a completely decentralized way. That's your killer app if you can achieve it! I must admit (with my limited understanding) I don't think it can be done without the use of a centralized oracle/data feed.

I have done some research to see what I can find on the subject, but there is limited information available, Bitassets get loaned into existence by users pledging collateral (in the native coin/currency/share) the value of that asset (denominated in the local unit of value) is given by other users bids and asks. What is the incentive for order books to track the true value of a real world asset? Is it an issue that 2x of equity must be pledged to get 1x of a particular Bitasset? What is the effect of a liquidations due to volatility? (and many other questions). I get the feeling everyone thinks asset value tracking will be awesome, but no one understands how it is supposed to work and what its chance of success is.
Enlighten me!

Hi. I held PTS in my PTS Wallet for the Feb 28 snapshot, and so was allocated BTSX which I can verify when I check my PTS address at this page:
http://bitbalance.azurewebsites.net
I want to test trade my BTSX (I note it is now trade-able on BTER), and also use some of the functionality of Bitshares, and so want to get it into a wallet. So I downloaded the BTSX wallet from here:
http://bitshares-x.info
The question is what do I do now? How do I get my allocated BTSX into the wallet? For starters, I am not sure where to transfer from - where does my BTSX sit? Second, I am not sure what to use as the BTSX wallet address I am transferring to - is that the Account Key? Third, I noticed another thread suggesting the wallet is demo-mode - so can I actually use the wallet or Bitshares anyway? Fourth, I tried to register the account I set up in my wallet, but it won't let me register until I have BTSX in my account.

I'm very confused, and would appreciate somebody setting my understanding straight. Thanks...

I am undecided please convince me of either way.

+ More BitShares X easier invest. Instead of buying 0.00001, you can buy 1 and it can be seen a less risky option. (DogeCoin)
+ Less BitShares X increases value due the limited amount and speculation.  (Bitcoin)
+ Both are limited regardless.
+ With More BitShares X 1 = 1$ you can mentally calculate investment or trades in assets.
