Bitshares does levels 0, 1, and 2a with the goal of outcompeting centralized alternatives for a profit.
Ethereum is levels 0 and 1 (with lots of side projects for all other layers) with the goal of being a platform for all kinds of decentralized entities

A DAC is a dapp or collection of dapps with their own special-purpose blockchain. Ethereum is like a general-purpose DAC that is primarily a dapp platform.

Thanks for the quick response. So what is Super-DAC? Is it also a general-purpose DAC (a platform)?

Super-DAC is marketing BS, it's just a big DAC

The difference as far as I can tell is Ethereum is 100% integrated. Dapp's run on top of the ethereum blockchain. DACs run on separate blockchains. In order to execute smart contracts in the Ethereum Network, one has to pay in ether to register it to the blockchain.

Can someone explain about this? Because people keep me asking about this and I cannot explain very well.
IMO, Bitshares' DAC = Ethereum's DApp. Is this correct?
