That woman has done more active marketing for little financial interest than DCG and other multi-thousand dollar projects that have been for nothing (max kaiser, the cannabis company, stunt planes, commercial planes, venezuela ...) all rubbish.

I said it recently. Crypto.com has spent good money on advertising and it has been worth it, because it has more than recovered it and now people are talking about this project.

Dash has financed small mountains of garbage that have been of absolutely no use at all.

Better to spend a million dollars on good publicity with famous people or in mass commercial spaces than little bird shit that nobody sees.

Agreed, Pre-mined to enrich its creators and then lots of technobabble masternode nonsense to seduce naive investors to part with their hard earned cash

It just seems that Masternodes are not the flavor of the day anymore.
Dash has good stuff but its not worth current price and certainly never ATH again.
The team made their cash and early investors made good returns but now masternode holders will close their masternodes and sell

The jury is still out on masternodes but it is swinging heavily towards something that just is not really required therefore why have them?

I cannot state for sure exactly what happened before DASH was reincarnated in the current form with regards to the pre-mining and exactly how much of those coins were/are used for masternodes but there seems to be somewhat of a demand and use for Dash in some African and South American countries where the community has spread the word and helped it grow.

Full credit to all those that have been participating in helping Dash grow at the wider street-level but does the Dash Core Group deserve credit for that? They seem to have distanced themselves from the average coin holder or miner and instead focused more heavily on masternode operators, I think that mindset has let down a lot of investors and made them feel disillusioned.

They are required for 1 thing over everything else: To facilitate a high mining quota while supporting services (by decoupling the service layer from the mining layer on-chain). The high mining quota is needed to store value, just as bitcoin does, using the capital transfer business model of POW.

The question then presents itself: "Why then torpedo your ability to absorb capital, having successfully liberated it from the service-layer priorities ?". Why not play the card you created for yourself ?

There are plenty of competitors that can do what Dash does if ALL we are going to do is be a functional service layer. There are NO competitors that can do both. So that's where the facepalm-factor lies in what we've done.

FIFY.

Dash "coregroup" does not control Dash. The masternode operators do. Maybe they don't realise that. Dash coregroup does whatever the masternodes command (including sending our marketcap to oblivion if that is the masternode's instruction).

Despite all the sophisticated, nuanced, diverse and creative propositions that were put in their lap, masternodes adopted the one that did the most destruction to the coin - "put more of the marketcapitalisation into the pockets of masternode owners". It is a gross failure of the governance system - one that turned potential leaders into leaches.

The only way this can be turned around is to rescue the genuine value proposition that Dash had in the first place. Masternode peeps need to understand that mining is a "capital absorption" process. It is the means by which capital is absorbed into the the blockchain. If you deny this and instead claim a right to "income" based on a capital holding that is doing no work (while miners do), we're done.

We are a mined coin. Don't try to be Ethereum, Tezos, Fiat, Visa or any other target. Be Dash. The only coin that can absorb capital at at the rate of bitcoin but at the same time deliver services.

It has to work for outsiders.
