I don't think I need to. Rather I'm addressing what you've used as proof. You keep bringing up CMC rankings as proof for your theory just because you say so.
First of all, it's not a "theory" so the concept of "proof" doesn't come into it. It's a statement of the self evident - that the role of mining is to put a price on the acquisition of a coin from the continuous supply.
I've always maintained there's some merit to it but that you overstate it.
So what was the point of addressing it in the first place then ? It's the single biggest protocol revision to mining since the early days of Dash. It's also a statement of priorities for both the community and the core group. How on earth can that be overstated when Dash's entire competitive offering has always been promoted based on features and then we can't even compete with coins that have none ? If we don't need the mining why our mining deficiency killing us ?
