Thanks for your opinion.  I think it's quite obvious that we see DASH coins history and future in 2 very completely different lights.   It would also seem most out there  agree with my thoughts on Dash and more importantly  it's underlying technology.  Our current sustained position on coin market value,  backs me up.  Cheers.
I also see the history of DASH and the future of DASH in completely different lights. The history of DASH is unfortunate however the technology that is being developed now is very good and we have a strong community, and despite the initial emission curve for DASH the distribution of DASH is still relatively good. Learn to live more in the present then in the past. Do not forget the past, history is important, but it is also important to seize the moment. DASH today has some of the best tech and its principles and goals are still in line with decentralization and financial privacy, as long as these things are true I will continue to support this great currency. Smiley

I agree....In here lies my point....Apparently along the way of crypto currency development there was a belief system incubated that crypto currencies were some kind of wealth redistribution/pseudo welfare system.  That is NOT what is going on here....AT ALL!  Crypto Currencies...and DASH are a CURRENCY a medium of exchange!

 So yes, just like the initial gold rush of the Yukon and Alaska, those first miners struck it rich.  It wasn't like...."...oh wait till everyone gets here and lets spread this gold among everyone coming to the Klondike" was going on.   Subsequent miners...did not share in that initial bonanza....BUT GOLD IS GOLD...it like what is hoped with happen with DASH as a currency, it gains value over time do to the limited supply, fungiblity and features.


And that is my point....we are not a welfare system, we are a currency.  

This is exactly right, I want to comment on something that you have been trying to convey the last few days.  It is dangerous to try to comply with existing dogma in an ever changing environment, it can quickly lead to outdated and forced solutions that no longer apply to the current reality, this is the problem with most altcoins. In Dash we should not try to replicate Bitcoin or be "satoshi pure" or any other nonsense. We should simply analyze the environment as it is, identify weak areas and pain points in crypto and come up with solutions that solve those issues and add value to users, that's it.

 It should be a pure rational exercise deprived of any emotional baggage and that in itself would help more to shape the future set of beliefs than trying to perpetuate existing dogma. Just my 2 duffs.
