It seems you have not noticed that no POW coin, other than BTC, has done very well this last year. And even BTC itself hasn't performed so great since ESG concerns were brought to light last April.
You know that's an irrelevant red herring that Dash conservatives like to use as cover for core failings in competitiveness. We're talking about its performance relative to other coins, not relative to the US dollar. Dash lost competitiveness BOTH in bull markets AND bear.
The core thesis was that we "didn't need all this hashrate" and it was incumbent on those who argued for that fundamental principle and who implemented it to take responsibility for its subsequent impact (or complete absence thereof) on the primary performance metric that was targeted - store of value. That is ultimately measured in marketcap ranking against other POW assets which serve as effective controls for such a thesis (being that they continued to sustain a 100% mined protocol).
But relative to them our marketcap has in fact cratered instead of grown. So some introspection would seem more appropriate from your side of the debate more than mine.
believe what you will. Continue to believe that you are helping steer Dash's direction.
LoL ! That sounds like a nose-in-the-air type desperate dismissal of reasonable challenges if I ever heard one.
Again, the "belief" is all on your side of the debate. I've supplied reasoned argument to support my views, you haven't provided any other than a vague appeal to regulatory authorities which I already pointed out is not having any effect on the market. This problem isn't going to go away and the more noses remain in the air and cotton buds remain stuffed into ears, the more it will continue to shackle our performance, at least from an investor perspective.
