Have you gained further insight into this issue?
How were you affected by the Telegram group bans?
Starting with the Telegram group bans. It is obvious to many, IO Banker is a hinderance with the bitshares community. This becomes a problem across platforms, as differing views and constructive criticism is what drives innovation.
On a more positive note,
Haven spoken to many people online/offline in regards how/why/when they utilize a blockchain has narrowed down one sticky point for sure.
Ease of use was the common denominator.
This leads back to why centralized exchanges such as coinbase and now the btc etf have gained massive volumes. Many older users are simply hesitant to trust themselves with self custody, stating it was too difficult to manage. People are comfortably with what they know, the banking and investment houses as we have today. One user brought up how quickly people's mind will change if they faced banking capital controls such as were instituted in Greece awhile back.
Point blank, Bitshares needs a modern, simple, easy to use UI. One app with the same interface across platforms would be a homerun.
