So, why isn't /biz/ talking about BitShares?

>already processes more transactions per day than Bitcoin

BitShares has two problems: lack of marketing, and an intimidating interface for newbies. Those problems aren't fundamental issues. With talks of a Bitcoin fork in August and centralized exchanges unable to handle the newcomers, people are bound to become educated and look towards BitShares.

The easiest use of cryptocurrencies is as a currency (duh). Once people see Bitcoin's fees and wait for hours to get a transaction confirmed, some of them are bound to look up fast transactions and low fees. BitShares is fast, cheap, and has the volume to prove it can handle the load.

You can already see this in play. BTS pumped +30% for 2 days straight. At 7400 sat it's still way undervalued. You could hold on for a bit and hope for a dip, it's worth keeping an eye on.

Think this is a PnD? Just zoom out the graph. Nothing but a steady uptrend since March. They missed their launch a few years back, it was too early for their value proposition to mean something to the market. Now that network congestion is messing with the big players, there's an important niche to be filled.

>why BitShares and not Waves?

Why not both? Waves is a good project too, and you should invest long-term in both. Waves was smarter with their marketing and more accessible, and you can see the result. Both of these coins should keep going up.
