2) Long-term (and more significant) concern - There may be ways for Dash holders to reduce the risk in their holdings while retaining voting rights. They could vote Dash into the ground while making money. I would be in over my head if I tried to explain derivatives and empty voting in relation to DACs because I am still trying to wrap my head around the key concepts. However, I think we should be very careful about relying heavily on the "self-interest" argument. Ownership of assets does not necessarily equal proportional economic self-interest in the current corporate world and there's no reason to expect such a simple relationship in the DAC world either. In fact, I believe that anonymity compounds this issue significantly and is a problem worth discussing seriously.
How?
What asset exists that rises when DASH falls?
I'll grant that this is a possible future problem, but so are asteroid impacts and supervolcanic eruptions. Can you demonstrate an asset (currently or in the near future) that will consistently and significantly rise in value when Dash falls in value?
