I'm back here after a few Days, and I don't know if I'm laughing, but I'm sure smiling about the appreciation of BitShares lately.

My own opinion on all this, at the moment, is that Matt might have done better with different text in his post here.  I believe a marketing principle is to know your audience.  I think his copy was written for a different group of people than the ones here.  We're generally not impressed with big promises using salesy language.  Crypto people seem to like to evaluate the facts and come to their own conclusions.

Stan did say big things were happening, and it now reflects in the BitShares price.  Was it due to Matt's involvement? I'm not sure.  Maybe Dan's EOS has people excited about BitShares and Steem.  Maybe people are finally waking up to what BitSharees and Graphene can do.  Maybe its all due to the massive tailwind all cryptos are getting these days, as more people discover this investment space.  More likely, in my mind, its some combination of these things, plus others that I haven't heard about.

In any case, it's been a Great 4 days for BitShares investors!  Thanks, @stan and the entire BitShares team! :-)
