Please provide evidence.

We are all very well informed of your theory, the fact that you keep making these claims does NOT make it true.

1) "...I cannot give you "anecdotal evidence" other than to say that if we keep doing what we're doing, we're likely to keep going where we're going which is now a 3-year near-permanent trajectory to the bottom of the mined marketcap rankings in terms of our early contemporaries."

2) "...evidence doesn't turn up in nice neat anecdotal packages where a specific traders say they didn't invest in Dash because they wanted to invest in coin, not masternode profits."

3) The theory is that Dash has only half the mining budget that our competitors do and therefore can store far less capital in its chain. The empirical evidence for that is that we've lost our lead and competitiveness in marketcap.

4) "The idea that the competitive deficit was for want of an additional 10% is ludicrous IMO -

5) " not least for the reasons that I presented previously that the market simply sets the reward ratio in dollar terms anyway."

Thank you for at least attempting now to being more honest about your position.

In item 1) above...you still can not bring yourself to being honest about our true rankings. Fact, DASH is in the top 10 of minable coins in the marketcap. Further, based on my comments above regarding minable coins, we should be placed in the top 5. Thats extraordinary...yet you diminish this fact because it does not fit your narrative. Thats being manipulative.

On point 2)...exactly because no evidence exists and where no evidence exists, we through that out as bad reasoning.

3)...being dishonest at best. I addressed this in item 1).

4) Ones opinion is not facts and not evidence...thus irrelevant

5) Opinion? Fact? Hypothesis.

A lot of pontification....ZERO EVIDENCE, and a lot of half truths.

Tok...many of us in this community valued your insight into this space...and not always did we agree, but it was valued all the same. This narrative and opinion you have been building over the last several months has been disheartening. You have back yourself into a corner that you now believe you need to die on that hill.

I'm very disappointed that you have now gone on the attack...with not a shred of evidence and alienated members of this community in the pursuit of your hypothesis.

There is a difference saying that one has a hypothesis regarding something to stating unequivocally that your hypotheis is the only valid one and that the opinions and thoughts and consideration of hundreds of members of this community must all be wrong,

A shame.
