Dash is a professional project that have people working for it and they get paid, so what?
Monero is guys trading with Aminorex and circle jerking each other and nobody gets paid [...]
Good point. Evan has to pay people to work on Dash, whereas Monero
attracts contributors because the project is actually interesting.
Eeeeeeh, nope...?
Which one do you think is more solid business: A business that pays salaries and have regular contributions, and an ongoing marketing team preaching the good news or something that relies entirely on volunteering?
You know, the contributors need their daily bread so rationally they should not sacrifice more time for free than for paid hours... After all, the volunteering benefits more the community than the individual even if the individual have a stake of the pie.
