You are just complaining about a situation you can't change. How about change what you can?

How about just addressing the matter at hand rather than trying to turn it into some kind of personal issue.

Masternode holders just lost around $80,000 of capital per node in a matter of days. That makes whatever reward "tweak" they get look ridiculous by comparison. So the policy of prioritising revenue over capital gain, thinking that the former is going to support the latter beyond a sustainable level is junk and needs to be addressed. Nobody - not even me nor DCG nor anyone can "do anything about it" until there's widespread community debate and re-appraisal of this policy and how it's actually supposed to support store of value and what our mechanics of store of value actually are.

In that regard I encourage you to promote debate and discourse on this issue rather than sweep it under the carpet as if it's "something we can't change" and have to live with.

We don't.

Well, by all means then carry on with your mission. I just hope one day you realize what you are actually doing.

Anyways, let me try to address some of the things you said in previous posts...

You speak as if DASH won't have services... but then what is Dash Platform? Yes, not released yet but still that's the eventual goal, no?

And should DASH stay POW at all?

Ever hear of ESG? I suggest you do some research into it. Institutions are greatly disincentivized and to some extent even mandated not to invest in any POW chain (including BTC) since it's considered wasteful. Even though this environmental claim is mostly false, doesn't matter, it's the perception. DASH either needs to convince ESG groups that POW is not environmentally harmful or else abandon POW if it wants big investors. ZEC jumped over DASH in the rankings and stayed there just on the announcement they were moving to POS.
