Hi everyone.  Wow, such a busy week.  I had a great time meeting everyone at the open house!  Such an amazing group of people!  They came from EVERYWHERE to gather for one evening.  California, Oregon, Florida, Canada, South America, OMGosh!  And we overwhelmed the conference room.  They had to open the split conference room to allow for the overspill!  LOL.  I can tell you now, that Dash people are the nicest people in the world.  It was a life-changing experience for me.  I've always been the black sheep and I was in a crowd of people talking about the things that move my world, because it moved their world too!  And yet, I got some good new fresh perspectives on things as well. 

Evan said he's been writing books (he was talking about how much planning he is doing).  He's mostly thinking about the next level of Dash.  He calls the DAOs.  He asked an attendee what he does for a living, and was told "I'm a fire fighter".  So Evan explained that one day, fire fighters will be paid for via a DAO.  Everything the people see as needed, they can fund with a DAO.  If we had a DAO to fund the police, flyinfree was saying to me, then they would HAVE to make progress on the problems, or else they would be defunded and others hired (I hope I'm basically expressing this right ;P)  There is plenty of good research done on issues of poverty and violence, but really there is woefully little done to help solve the actual problems.  Instead we simply perpetuate conflict and of course, that feeds into the need for more police and more money, etc... for a dysfunctioning system.

So Evan is working out how these DAOs would function on the blockchain and is writing volumes of manuals/white papers, LOL.  And he's so "in the Zone" if you can imagine.  I almost worry we'll lose him in his mind, LOL.  He looks really happy, like a man who knows he'll spend the rest of his life working on what he believes matters and will make a difference in this world.  What better Nirvona, eh?  So if you're wondering what Evan is doing, he's already 5-10 years possibly 100 years ahead of the rest of us!  Don't make the mistake of thinking he's not working, because he most certainly is. But the coding, immediate planning (to complete the vision of Evolution) marketing, etc... are all covered by our capable Dash Core team now.

What was striking is to see an entrepreneur who isn't a control freak.  He was able to attract amazing people around him, and hand over the reins.  And when I say amazing people, I mean it!  Ryan is incredible, So are coingun and all the team! Top of the line!  I have no doubt that the core team around the world are just as incredible. Dash is a well oiled machine.  Watching this dude with 777 on the end of his name manipulate the price (if that's the case) is highly annoying and destructive.  It hurts people, hell it may devastate people   This is the scum of the earth whom Crypto has attracted.  But there is a counter balance to them, and that's the amazing great people of crypto, and Dash has a disproportionately high number of these people.  And that's due to Evan's amazing brilliance and personality.

Remember, bad people make up only 10% of the population at most.  The other 90% are good people.  That's why good always wins  

Just dump them already... No need to prove anything. Dash = Scam = Sell. Simple

For how long are dash coins locked in masternodes?

Is the enemy of my enemy, my friend?

He's confused.  Nobody is his friend!

'They came from EVERYWHERE to gather for one evening.  California, Oregon, Florida, Canada, South America . . . '

Couldn't make it myself, but DASH has a presence here in Western Australia, with 'IndiaMikeZulu.'

I bought 1.5 Bitcoin's more DASH, and bunged it in my new Ledger. Re-read all the to's and fro's on the instamine thing: satisfied with the explanations. Just starting to use Living Room of Satoshi to pay bills.

Will do token trades of DASH-silver here -- and free coffee in my garden for all crypto geeks (got wild emu chicks taxing the figs on the old tree in the house-clearing).
