Everybody knows we are no fan of the bitFiat smartcoins. We're huge supporters of bitSilver and bitGold though. bitFiats have no future anyway, since those coins are pegged to fiat currencies.
Bitshares' next step is to remove all reliance on the CEX's for price discovery. It's not a one-day fix of course, it's a weaning over time. Bitshares will start using various other DEX's and Atomic Order Books (aob's) to help with decentralization of price discovery. No more CEX's.
Bitshares has a hell of a lot more to offer than any other blockchain in the world, always has. Smartcoins' price feeds will soon be upgraded, we have zero worries about that.
Compare the DEX's. Bitshares has...
