It was a bargain
Payed somewhere about 23 EURO worth of BTS to join in the fun.
It is the idea that counts
The benefit of being a Bitshares lifetime member is that it is much cheaper to use all of the services offered on the Decentralized EXchange {DEX}. Also I was able to create an account with the full oaldamster brandname, without the - symbol or a number. Also one of the benefits of having a Bitshares lifetime membership.
What to do next? No idea, I still want to dive a bit deeper into the User Issued Asset {UIA} part of Bitshares. Maybe some trading, building up a more extended portfolio on the DEX. In many ways it is way much more matured than the Waves DEX. The learning curve is kind of steep though for Bitshares.
While things in the Crypto realm got a bit dull I managed to make it at least somewhat more exciting. Now I hope that I may live long and prosper so I can actually enjoy my Bitshares lifetime membership to the fullest.
Awesome, I am a Bitshares lifetime member now!
