Ok, here's a first cut at explaining BitShares outside the crypto community using a familiar checking and savings metaphor.
http://bitshares.org/bitshares-savings-joins-bitcoin-checking/ (http://bitshares.org/bitshares-savings-joins-bitcoin-checking/)
And I never used the phrase polymorphic digital asset even once!

I actually disagree with this metaphor.
BitShares fills both roles adequately. Bitcoin only makes a decent checking account. I get the appeal though.
