A bit nitpicky, but I think this article's title should have a question-mark at the end.
This means all dispute resolution and law enforcement will be managed by the BitShares community

BitShares is so many things to different people and there are a thousand different ways of understanding what BitShares is. This post will tell you what BitShares is to me, its founder. Before getting into the long-answer to this question, let me give you the executive summary. BitShares is one of the most important tools that any community can use to secure their freedom; an idea whose time has come. After reading this post I bet you will agree.I sent it to my brother who found it a bit hard to understand, in particular he got hung up on this phrase: " Whereas normal banks use illiquid assets to back (collateralize) debt payable on demand, BitShares uses highly liquid BTS as collateral". Maybe you could expand upon this phrase to explain what kind of assets back the debt in the traditional system, and why they are illiquid compared to BTS.

This is a (partially) serious question. I have absolutely no clue how you can do so much with such limited time without going with zero sleep. It is even a stretch under that circumstance....
Absolutely fantastic! Lucid, concise and comprehensive.This material should feature prominently on the main website.
This is brilliant, the best overview of BitShares I've seen.
YES!This post is amazing. We need to promote this on every libertarian reddit, blog, site, etc that there is!
