How would you answer to the question: "What is Bitshares?" I want lots of different (but accurate!) answers.
There are lots of different people who could use Bitshares for different things. I want to identify as many groups as possible. This will help to market Bitshares. We don't need to push the same image of Bitshares to everybody, we can and we should differentiate the message depending on who we are communicating with.
This list is also good foundation for articles and promovideos.
Here are some of what I can think of. Please help to refine the arguments, add more target groups and of course add your own answers.
