Hey @stan, I really appreciate your ambitious work and your optimism! Helping Houston is a really noble cause.
 I have a few quick questions that I would be really glad if you answered:
1) this line : "BitShares could easily grow from 15 cents to 150 dollars in two years - if enough people adopt it as their exchange." got me confused - wasn't the goal of Billion HERO challenge to get BTS to $330 in year and a half?
2) Why would people still use BTS after EOS came out?
3) What is our answer to Lightning networks? The way I see it, regular people just want to buy their coffee/pizzas/cars etc with their money and don't really care about market pegged assets and exchanges. And when LN comes, our Fast Bitcoin would be the slow one...
4) Why, in your opinion, none of the huge announcements  you made until now have had any effect on the price of BTS?

I would like to know your opinion on these very much, thanks in advance!
