Hi fuzzyvest! I do have a bitshares account, and have seen bitGOLD in their list of assets. I am a user of BitGold.com, and have experimented with their bitcoin options. Just for fun, I placed an order for some bitGOLD, but it hasn't cleared yet. BitGold.com is very nice, but firewalls BTC transactions to their Dubai vault, and won't let you use that gold for most purposes, such as debit card prepay. I hope this changes soon!
