For me the Asset option, and the daily transaction bitshares had on CMC.

I think it was Madbitcoins sometime in 2013

Initially looked for explanation of how Bitcoin works this is by far the best I found BTW. Amazon books search found Max's Bitshares 101 which really got me interested in the concept and then to here..

welcome, @bulletproof :)

I found out about bitshares while talking w a friend about how services built on top of the Blockchain (colored coins at the time) we're going to change everything.  I think bitshares is going to have a huge impact and am looking forward to being a part of the community :).

Sounds like an interesting intro! You are warmly welcome!

Quotewe're going to change everything

Do you mean "will go to change everything" or do you (plural) plan to change everything? :)

Cool, thx @Permie ...good article btw.

I'm always on the hunt for new data...BTS and bitassets haven't yet really hit the merchant scene (BTC is still a baby in that arena too), but what about data aggregator sites for BTS or bitasset trades? like price/volume stuff?

i got interested because of the bitassets likes bitUSD, bitCNY.  I would like to check out how they work out, but I cant even get my BTS windows client run properly  :'(

did you tried the technical section ? https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/board,45.0.html

i am running all my clients on windows machines and no bigger problems - and i am far away to be a technical person.

I'm just starting out in Finance academia and believe this is the future. I've been into BTC and alt crypto for a few years now, took my time to better understand BTS and tinker with the system, but now I'm on board...will be building my position in the DAC and helping the community as best I can. On that note, anyone know of any good data sources for potential research? I'd like to spread the word in academia...

I'm not sure if this is the type of thing you mean but Bytemaster's blog explains a lot of the reasons why BitShares should be better than the competition
