Since DASH is the lead master node chain.
It is better to be a "network" verses a "POW by hash chain".
Why because MN structure means upgrading and forking is easy to manage.
Which begs the question, Why pay for the hash or inflation?
In time the MN will likely have to focus on being networks, and publish in other chains POW blocks, or maintain a small cap of their own, very small

Investors don't want the inflation, and the "network" masters must provide their services at the lowest margins possible, it will be just a utility, not so much a "coin".
Seems like DASH is moving in that direction.
tldr;
DASH fails as a blockchain, wins as a network/platform/service.**Dash Evolution (renamed to Dash Platform) to Dash Mainnet**Numbers dont lie. Fiat inflates (value loss) by about 2,2% annually.

Dash supply reduces by 7,1% and Bitcoin new coin supply halves every 4 years
