There is no conflict between personal profit and improving people's lives in a free market. Profit is the reward entrepreneurs get for serving their fellow man efficiently. In real capitalism, every trade is win-win because if it wasn't it wouldn't happen.

But then why are you against Dash in VZ? Its win win. As I said before you seem like someone desperate to find reasons you are right to be bearish when you sold Dash at the bottom.

Dash taking off in VZ is good for Dash and good for the people of VZ who have an outlet from their national currency which is going down the toilet. Do you agree?

I'm not against Dash in VZ, but I am against spending too much treasury there because I think it's a good possibility we are just fattening up the sheep for Maduro to sheer. Or skin. Their currency isn't "going down the toilet" accidentally. This is what happens when theft becomes a country's top industry.

I never said the currency of Venezuela was going down the toilet 'accidentally' or indeed by design. But regardless of whichever way it is, giving the people of Venezuela a way to transact outside of that is good for them no? Who are the sheep you are referring to? What is happening in VZ is an extreme version of what happens everywhere, theft of wealth via money printing. If you go outside that system, ie by using Dash you are avoiding that theft of wealth and managing to keep hold of it for yourself. That is not fattening Maduro or any central banker. But it does benefit Dash and ordinary users of Dash, because the dash is seen to be valuable and confidence in it increases. Dash can't be devalued by money printing in any sense that central bankers do it

I believe there are many investors who would invest in Dash who don't because they don't like how we spend our money. I can't prove it, but nobody can prove it's not true either unless we stop wasting treasury funds on risky proposals as much.

Does fattening Maduro's sheep benefit the sheep more than it benefits Maduro? Even if we were funding a political revolution in VZ, is that what treasury funds are for? Or is this Nike-like virtue signaling? Judging by the performance of Nike stock and the price of Dash, it appears similar to me.

MNOs have a fiduciary obligation to all Dash holders to maximize trading price on a long term time scale. I believe we are failing them.

Again with Maduro's sheep. What do you mean by that? What are you on about funding a revolution? Where is the proposal for that?
If you disagree with the way funds are spent you can vote for alternative proposals instead, if you have any masternode(s). Or why not try to come up with some constructive arguments about alternative proposals that treasury funding could be used on, highlight some that give better value in your opinion.
Your VZ arguments are not at all compelling to me or even make sense.
