To toknormal - I suggest for you to consult a good tax lawyer/accountant.
The problem isn't about my tax or anybody else's.
It's about Dash's chronic ranking handicap caused by a corrosive reward ratio that diverts capital away from the chain and right out of the ecosystem. Statutory tax revenues are only one of these wasteful destinations. Ask yourself for example what happens to the corresponding portion of Doge, LTC, XMR etc supply that we spend on tax ? (or even masternode margins).
They invest that in upwards difficulty adjustments. That increases the price of their marginal supply which in turn feeds through to the historical supply. So they get away with zero features and high marketcap meanwhile Dash is overflowing with features that do zip for our marketcap while we have this deadweight in place.
What? Come on man... you're the one that brought up the tax problem.
I mean it's convenient for your cause to bring up the winners among mined coins but what about all the losers?
Back in 2014 one could just as easily invested in Novacoin, Peercoin, Namecoin, Quark, Megacoin, Worldcoin, Primecoin, Vertcoin, Terracoin, etc, etc, etc....
DASH has done quite well among mined coins. Not happy with $300? Not happy with place 45 out of 8000+?
Is this some kind of envy/jealousy of others success type of thing? Why are you so stuck and what prevents you from selling and moving on from something you perceive as so fundamentally flawed?
So far DASH survived its first bear market admirably and it's on the verge of entering its 2nd bull market vs BTC. So far it's creating higher highs and higher lows. If by the end of this bull market, DASH does not exceed it's previous ATH from the end of 2017 then yes that might be a problem. I can only suggest you plan accordingly.
