It was a really cool idea, that this program running on machines all over the world could make payments, etc.... and maybe someday we can actually do that, but not at this extremely deflationary moment in Dash's lifetime. Like I said, it puts us in irreconcilable debt. And ultimately without any funds to function.
The problem is you are assuming the price only goes up and that is not reality. We recently touched 6 USD and a contract signed at that price would be under water.
Also some people may want to take the speculative risk and that is the only thing that motivates them to work with us. We cant have our cake and eat it too. Who is to say that the price is not going up precisely because we are making all of these investments and partnerships. In fact I firmly believe that is why we will be successful. People making money with us is a really good thing. The price going up is good for everyone it motivates our service providers to do a good job. We can't just cut people out of the upside when they contribute to our project doing well. That is just not good business. That is like not being happy that a sales representative is making a lot of commision money, if he is making money the company is making money.
Plus prices go up and down and will continue to go up and down. Very soon we will have contracts that start at a price and the price goes down and the vendor needs to take the difference that is just how it works. Judging just on the current price situation is short sighted and ignoring that our ATH is 15 USD.
Anyway, the potential upside is what motivates everyone. Also, networks are living organisms they are much more than just code. We are building a reputation in business and the Dash network should build a reputation that we keep our agreements when is in our favor and when is in favor of our service providers.
And funding wont run out because contracts have terms and those terms expire and then space opens up again. Having limits protects us from spending too much too quickly anyway it will force us to pace our investments and will ultimately give better results.
