It's just a excellent planning with a great code that is like THE LAW and the economics values in it's core. And the best of this, in my opinion, is the fact that if you think things that could affect them in a bad way, Bitshares and other cryptos reacts like in Aikidō (blending with an attacker's movements for the purpose of controlling their actions with minimal effort).  
What I mean  with this? Everything that is bad in the actual system (neo-liberalism waves with capitalism), everything orbiting the capital (force to submit anyone, from people to institutions or even communities), I mean you can buy even opinions, media, keeping it simple, money makes the monkey dance, and in what respects to cryptos, at least Bitshares and Steem, you CAN'T buy their core laws, or it's really difficult to do it, or even if you buy like really much of Steem for example, and try to harm the community it's punchs you back having more strength, by having more value (purchasing power) with less liquidity on the exchangers. 

Keep it a try, imagine bad scenarios for Bitshares and Steem, it's difficult to think something that the developers can't fix or something that can corrupt the intrinsic values of their economic cores beliefs wroted on their code.
