What you need to understand is that Spork 21 and its origins is actually a very cleverly thought-out strategy by Ryan Taylor to finally allow the Dash governance mechanism to work in a truly decentralised and autonomous way.

He deliberately promoted a store-of-value mechanism that was so obviously flawed that the community would be forced into a phase of self-introspection and reflection to reconcile what was going on in markets with its own understanding of how its investment functioned. That would then lead to a decoupling from centralised thinking and an abandonment of the "follow the leader" pied piper form of governance to a truly conscious investor community where the governance system matured and came of age.

Clever stuff
