Fantastic, so many exciting things happening on Bitshares right now! Would it be possible to add two line graphs:
Total MPA market cap in $USD vs. time
Percentage of BTS circulating supply locked up as collateral vs. time
As MPA adoption increases in China (ie. aex.com) and through remittance demand (ie. Bitspark) it would be very interesting to visualize the market cap of MPAs and the resulting impact on BTS circulating supply.
As always thank you very much for putting this together, easily one of the best posts on Steemit!
Hi John,
Made some charts of the data i have.
As for #1 that is expressed in the first chart "Smartcoin issuance chart showing weekly change since the start of 2017" although not a line chart it provides the total market cap and also a break down of the smartcoins that make up that weeks total.
Chart #1 - Expressed on a line chart
Chart #2 - Total % of BTS used as collateral to back smartcoins
Great read overall! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the crypto markets!

This is absolutely amazing! Thank you! Any chance you can include in future editions of the SotN? Holy crap that trend is exciting for Bitshares - those charts may well become some of the most important ways to visualize the growth of Bitshares!
Oh my god I've been featured on the SotN report!
Thanks, great job as always!
Appreciate your efforts mate; thank you!
Happy Mid Week to all the BTS community and another great report.

it's actually one day in bitshares twitter :)
Gotcha cheers man
Bitshares seems to be an interesting project, but at the moment I have difficulties to understand how it works (currencies, markets). I guess it is mainly about UX, but it remains a reason for me to keep using others exchanges.
And I can tell you how much a decentralized exchange is a good idea in my opinion !
You know, I see this a lot and have absolutely no idea how people can use Polo, Bittrex, Bitfinex, Kraken etc. and find the Bitshares UI confusing. It is so simple to use - deposit, enter market order, buy sell, withdraw. I like it better than any CEX interface. Tradeview integration is going live on the DEX in January too.
Of course, but since their is some people like me to find UI confusing, it means that some of them will not even try to understand and only go away.
Here's a link to the BitShares Quick Reference Guide.
It has everything you need.

Ok, thanks a lot too ! I think I have everything I need to join the game now. And if I don't understand something with the documentation all of you guys gave me, it's that I'm a desesperate case ^^
There is a simple high-level beginners guide here that covers basic terminology and concepts and an unofficial but collated set of links to numerous guides here.
Thank you !
It's not just you; Decentralized exchanges are the #1 voted growth industry as reported by coindesk's State of the Blockchain 2017
There is a lot to Bitshares, I remember when was starting out feeling the same way! Bitshares is not just an asset for transfer, an exchange, a voting platform, prediction markers, asset creation platform. It is a powerful and scaleable platform that allows for a wide range of use cases but its primary focus is on being a DEX and asset creation/management platform.
For example; the UI/UX is being developed by a team of developers are managed by @billbutler - Bill is a shareholder approved contractor via a worker proposal that was voted into acceptance and he is actually being paid by the blockchain (Bitshares has a reserve pool which on shareholder vote can be used to fund projects/development/marketing - whatever you can get shareholder approval of)
All those 'Active Workers' are approved projects that are being funded by the blockchain itself.
I think a good starting point is the video collection from Chronos Crypto
You're awesome, thanks :-) I still have my adress, now I have to deposit on it and to trade :)
Take a look at this.

when the price will go up in term of bitcoin ?
Sorry man i don't know the answer to that except for:
'when demand exceeds supply'.. which i think is very accurate but seems like a cop out
Altcoin will be the future of transactions. Enjoy...
Time will tell my friend.. as long as we get there in the end
Great post. Packed with useful info. Followed
I always think of bitshares as the workhorse of crypto. It's not glamorous and in the spotlight like Bitcoin, but it is functional, fast, and I think will prove to be a lasting and great investment. Thanks for the updates and info. I always look forward to these.
Awesome article as always! Would be great to include a weekly average price of LTM
