Firstly I'd like to say I've been bullish on Dash, and i think it can easily go a lot higher. A lot.
However there is a big danger lurking IMHO.

Every now and again I see an article about Bitcoin in the mainstream media. The media that most people read. And so a few people are curious and learn a bit and journalists learn a bit more in order to be able to write about it. There is no danger here for Bitcoin, in fact it helps bitcoin.

But, what will happen if Dash ever gets to that point or more?

Imagine if you are a journalist (or even worse a regulator) and you learn that Evan told people he would not start mining and then instamined it. Imagine on top of that if the journalist then also learns that Evan the reduced the number of coins?

I suspect Dash will be attacked far more than we have ever seen.

Am I thinking clearly or have I missed something?
