There are entire, fully funded projects solely working on distributed storage. Then there are entire, fully funded projects working on social networking type applications. Then there are entire, fully funded projects working on API building.
Given that background, any self respecting investor is going to conclude that Dash has bitten off more than it can chew trying to do all this to a high technical standard with only 1 or 2 core developers. They will wonder where the efficiency gain is in development (i.e. what is it that those projects are doing that Dash doesn't need to do).
I think the distinction needs to be fleshed out more to support confidence in that area.
Thanks for understanding at least half of my point.
The other half is that D-ash still has outstanding issues (EG concrete-drying slow mixing, no SendMany, no masternode blinding, no grandpa-friendly family wallet, etc) that need fixing before Evan wanders off on some random hopeless quest to catch up to "fully funded projects solely working on distributed storage...social networking type applications...[and]...API building."
