Sigh.... please research ESG and their criteria and tell me how DASH should address the concerns. DASH is largely cut-off from institutional investors because it is POW.

You have got to be joking.
Dash's is now governed by the priorities of "Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance" ? That's your answer ? You think that regulatory compliance is gonna be Dash's strong point now and that's why people will want to invest in it ?
Be advised that we will always have a primary and a secondary market - right now hashrate happens to be the medium through which bids are made in out primary market. It doesn't mean that it will always be the medium but it is right now and if we want to be competitive we need as many bids as possible which means subjecting as much of our supply to that medium while leaving enough reward to support services.
We don't have the luxury of indulging random regulatory bodies, our priority and the priority of the protocol is to investors and the optimal configuration of core monetary fundamentals. If that's successful then regulatory compliance issues can be dealt with. It's the job of investors and governors not the protocol.
What you're suggesting is suicidal and inane. Nobody's gonna invest in an asset that ditched its most competitive characteristic to satisfy some green regulatory body.
