Sorry for going i couldn't stop myself. please choose your 3 favorites and run with it
#1 Dan is not a fly by night crypto dev, he has demonstrated his passion by being around since the age of Satoshi! (and chatted with him - what an honor)
#2 Bitshares is restructuring it back end which will make developing application for Bitshare 100x easier than it is at the moment.
#3 Bitshares will be moving to a web based wallet which will significantly reduce the barrier to entry for new users. (i know people i have introduced to bitcoin were happy to setup a counterwallet - but no chance in running a full node!!!)
#4 The full power of Bitshares has not been released even in the testnets.. we have had confirmation from Bytemaster regarding features that are not yet visible - my feeling is they are relating to upcomming announcement which will be huge
)
#5 Bitcoins average actual TPS is only about 3 (based on the size of the last 1 million Transactions) not the quoted 7 and 10 minute block confirmation in a high speed world is too long... 1,5 or even 10sec blocks on bitshares is amazing
#6 DPOS - no mining and the ability to elect block producers and remove bad actors quickly via voting.
#7 Bitshares is settings it self up to become the rails of exchange networks, which in turn will bring exchange based users with actually business that needs to be preformed while providing the users with much need security over their own funds and transparency of the reserves in the assets the are trading. - this also brings in revenue to Bitshares on the back of transactions and profits/incentives for companies/partners.
If all that is not enough the price is just about the lowest it has ever been - lowest point i can see was back in may 2015 ~1400sats... also looking at the distribution on Bittrex we can see some big players sucking up millions of Shares(on a tiny exchange -BTS wise) - i can tell you that the largest wallet at bittrex at the moment was not there 3 months ago and couldn't imagine the wallet sizes of PoloniEX.
