My vote would be spread between zcash, ethereum, bitcoin and Steemit.

I clearly don't know all the details about the DPOS (because well Steemit documentation sucks, to put it blantly).

You seem to mix security and trading value which I would not do, at least not that way. Of course it becomes cheaper to attack BTC if the trading value is low but that is another discussion.

My comparison between witnesses and banks apply for Steemit, most likely not for bitshares. I would like to see the number of active Steemians who actually vote for a witness. Do they understand the potential attacks, by far lower than traditional media of course?

I although understand the need of a small list of witnesses but I am uncomfortable with it (that is not based on technical reasons I should point out).

So my comment about your article was that it was oversimplifying the comparison: " we are fast, we can do al lot of transactions, so we are better". For instance Ethereum should be a good comparison, since there are building Akasha on it, and since its blocktime is less than 20 sec.
