The previous meeting with the Dash Core Group with consensus handed financial wealth and influence in abundance to masternode operators, maybe it is time for the core group to re-evaluate that stance because the present formula is not the most conducive.
Dash "coregroup" does not control Dash. The masternode operators do.
Despite all the sophisticated, nuanced, diverse and creative propositions that were put in their lap, they adopted the one that did the most destruction to the coin - "put more of the marketcapitalisation into the pockets of masternode owners". It is a gross failure of the governance system - one that turned potential leaders into leaches.
The only way this can be turned around is to rescue the genuine value proposition that Dash had in the first place. Masternode peeps need to understand that mining is a "capital absorption" process. It is the means by which capital is absorbed into the the blockchain.
We are a mined coin. Don't try to be Ethereum, Tezos, Fiat, Visa or any other target. Be Dash. The only coin that can absorb capital at by the same method as bitcoin but at the same time deliver services. If we try to define "ROI" in terms of Dash we're done. It has to work for outsiders.
