Society has already met this problem - using risk assets as currency for medium term contracts in a dynamic economy - and discovered it didn't work (for the same reasons as Dash is finding it doesn't work).

Why not just fast forward to the obvious solution that's already in use by the rest of the human race - Dash futures. That's what futures are for. No manufacturing company in existence (at least any that exports their products) would ever have survived without such derivatives.

It's the price you have to pay for using a risk asset as money. (Or at least find some equivalent that's appropriate to the problem at hand). Surely the marketcap's big enough by now for it to be worthwhile for some 3rd party to deliver such a product. (Dare I say 'financial instrument' ?    )

All it needs is a party who can broker two sides - one that takes the long side and another that takes the short side. What comes out of the conjugate is a future derivative that can be issued to the blockchain budget applicant which has a stable value regardless of the volatility between Dash/BTC or Dash/USD.

(P.S. in case anyone thinks that's an ambitious plan, it isn't. There are plenty of takers for both sides - just look at any order book on any Dash exchange).

(P.P.S. Why do manufacturing companies [like car manufacturers] in particular use derivatives ? For the exact same reason that Dash budget is discovering: they budget based on current prices but it takes 6 months to get their product into the market. They need everything to come in on budget - even if the price of aluminium tanks or pumps during that time. So they fix ALL their prices, both selling and purchasing at the start of the contract cycle using derivatives. That way both contractors and customers are happy. Without derivatives there's always a loser).
