What about a world premiere of Bitshares through Shark Tank.  The panel is made up of technology moguls, including cyber security, and these billionaires would love to take on the banking industry.  It is a no brainer.  We could vote on the offers live and show off the explosive power of the Bitshares technology and community.  At a minimum, the word will be out that Bitshares is coming to a digital wallet near you.

I second jcalfee1's enthusiasm over bitshares.  I could never wrap my head around bitcoins, but bitshares makes perfect sense.  I have easily recruited others to invest in BTSX and PTS because it is such a great story.  It will become even easier for investors to wrap their heads around bitshares as they acquire PTS and AGS and simplify to BTS.

From an investor standpoint, one of the most frustrating experiences is with the exchanges and even coinmarketcap.com.  My idea would be to provide an interface that simplifies everything and provides more functionality (perhaps in a wallet).  Something as simple as having a trend chart in USD would help as coinmarketcap and BTER use a relationship back to a highly volatile BTC.  Converting numbers back and forth is just one more thing to do, and it keeps people from investing because it adds yet another layer of complexity.  I could care less what BTC is doing and quite simply there are just too many 0's.  Also, it would be great if there were user friendly tools, such as with tdameritrade, to set stop losses.  All of this will happen with time by someone.  I just believe that wrapping a user friendly interface around the bitshares ecosystem and experience will be valuable beyond belief to acquiring new users and investments.  Create a super highway and they will come.
