Everything's there for them to get off the ground, touring complete languages for interoperability between chains have been around for a few years but they're getting a big boost at the mo. Maybe it's one of those things that'll take a long time to get off the ground but when it does it will change market dynamics in a huge way

I've always thought Dash could use the Daps layer of the Ethereum blockchain to its huge advantage.

For example some of the more "accessibility" oriented features of Evolution are good when compared to a simple wallet, but we may be about to see a much more general approach emerge that will offer equivalent and potentially fuller features and that cover all electronic assets. (It happened in the 1990s with websites. People would spend 10k on a custom website, then wordpress came along and blew them away for $15 a pop. Other examples include, what booking.com does for Hotels, Google shopping feed does for retailers etc).

Those Dash bond ideas I posted on the previous page may also be perfect smart contract candidates denominated in Dash and collateralised natively on the Dash blockchain. We must think constructively and use everything available IMO.

The reason thats a good match is because Dash is a monetary token and Ethereum is a blockchain applications platform thats specifically designed to securely manage assets that are not Ethereum itself. The distinction was well made by Vlad Zamfir in this interview with the Daily Decrypt. At that point she pushes him on the "emission policy" and he gets a bit evasive, pointing out that she's asking about Ethereum's "monetary properties" which are not yet decided. He says he's more worried about securing transaction receipts.

He almost dismisses it as unimportant because he knows that being a monetary token is not Ethereum's priority. It's technical priority is to act as an "OS" for blockchain based smart contract apps. That is a very telling moment and is totally consistent with what he says and what he says.

(b.t.w. his mum told him to tidy his room before that interview but he only got as far as hiding his underpants  Wink ).
