I think your view on moderators and how they effect coinmarketcap is pretty irrational,
to the point of coming across as a bit insane.
Attacking highly respected community members like Tao who has been with Dash from the start, unlike you who has joined Dash just recentely (last year), is also not helping your reputation on this forum.
Stop blaming the fall of the Dash price on just one person, stop overly focussing on coinmarketcap ranks and maybe just maybe you can regain some of the respect you lost with your earlier posts.
I don't blame this on one person, but it seems evident to me that there is an inner group of MNOs who control enough votes to swing most proposals one way or another, and they use TaoOfSatoshi and the other paid moderators as well as Joel Valenzuela to do their bidding. You can always guess what's going on by what these types of people accuse you of doing. it's projection. They want to control the narrative. That's fine, I guess, but they are using our funds to do it. Discord, Dash Force, these are treasury feeders. Then they use the influence of the media they control to push risky, wasteful proposals which cost Dash money.
If the investment community thought these projects were likely to generate positive returns, I suspect Dash would be trading higher and/or have a higher market rank. This is affecting the trading value of Dash and the net worth of all hodlers.
Tao isn't highly respected by everybody in the community, obviously. I wouldn't care about him at all, but he's getting in the way of some badly needed reforms.
"I think
you have set Dash back years and are responsible personally for the loss of millions in market cap. If Dash succeeds, it will be in spite of, not because in any way of your participation. You are a blight on Dash, the cryptosphere, and humanity. You will go down in the record books as the most effeminate, dim-witted forum thug in the history of ever."

It really is a disturbing post to read.
And yes, Tao really is that respected. It is rather obvious you dont know anything about him, since you are this new to the community.
And it's rather obvious to me that he is a polarizing figure, judging by the many public and private accolades I have received for dressing him down. Look, This is exactly what certain obstructionists are wanting: they want me and other reformers to get bogged down in arguments over personality, tactics, special interest groups, etc. I don't care about Tao and the other thugs except that they are preventing us from meaningfully addressing real problems. If you think I am dealing with this obstruction unconstructively, that is your right. You have made your opinion known. Thank you for that. How are we going to get enough people to buy dash or more dash so that we can function and grow? What are we going to do about the loss of market cap and market rank? Nothing? Wait out the bear market? What if that is not enough?
As of this writing, we have dropped to #15 in CMC market rank, behind Etherium Classic, Tron, Monero, and Tezos. I believe this is PRIMARILY due to having an unsustainable funding model. Censorship is only relevant to the degree it is preventing us from fixing it.
Personally i'm gonna wait out this bear market and make sure i'm not getting emotional,
thereby making rash decisions i may later regret. This is not the first bear market i have witnessed
for Dash and it will not be my last.
I disagree with our current funding model being a direct reason for the Dash price downtrend and i therefore dont see
a particular need to address our funding model right now. I think there is a lot of shorting going on with both Dash and Bitcoin,
which at some point will backfire. I also think OTC markets play a large role in the price downtrend and i think a lot of investors
find this period too volatile and decided to wait for more clear buy signals before stepping in. I still think that september could
provide the Dash market with more clear buy signals, but that also depends on Bitcoin.
My advice : stay calm, stay rational and just wait it out.
