Business partnerships and cryptos working together like this deal is the way to be successful. Not trying to convince everyone on bitcointalk that all your competitors are scams.

That is just a battle that goes nowhere.
While the silly proof of work altcoins and their little communities sit on bitocintalk and try to tell everyone that they are the true successor crypto and everyone else is a scam, our community will simply develop the Bitshares Exchange Network, grow with more coins and companies joining in, and generate actual revenue through trading fees, and grow until we are profitable.
Then it wont matter anymore if the clowns in the altcoin subforum think Bitshares is a scam because it raised money and actually paid its developers, which is apparently anathema to some of them. Bitshares will be a profitable DAC operating the Bitshares Exchange Network, making crypto trading secure from hackers for members of any coin community, and allowing companies to raise funds and issue assets on the blockchain. And all the reasonable people will see that and wake up.
