Don't get too excited with your omission though, the conversation continued after that ->
https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/691772759429488641 I know eduffield said DASH won't become a sidechain itself, but that won't stop anyone from integrating it as a sidechain.
True, but the value of 1 Sidechain-DASH will be negative-0 due to the economic model Evan built, while real DASH will grow in price, userbase, utility and adoption, because that's where the actual development & funding happens and will continue to happen.
I genuinely hadn't seen that, I stand corrected.
Whilst I agree, they could always take features of DASH and implement them as sidechain, such as InstantX. That being said, I am not that fond of sidechains and think they are way overhyped by the Bitcoin maximalists. Certainly the securing of the sidechain has not being addressed appropriately in my opinion.
