What's wrong with simply acknowledging that mining is a decentralised market ? Does something that fundamental really have to be explained on a podcast ?

Yes, because the opposing side seems equally fundamental and obvious, that is why we discuss those things. It seems that you have expressed interest in putting forward this point of view to the community and I applaud that look forward to hearing it.

As soon as Ryan Taylor's first reward 'adjustment' was made I sold my entire Dash position. I felt forced out !

Many others did and as they did the price continued to fall and Taylor's work was undone. Add to that Binance spinning up 270 nodes using customer funds completely stole the entire first year of reallocation benefits meaning there was no increase in ROI for MNs only selling from disgruntled holders so the feedback loop continued! My only criticism of Taylor's proposal at the time was that it did too little and was too slow and this turned out to be true and why it appears to have been a failure.

I still follow Dash because I always loved this coin going back to the darkcoin days.

Me too, at least we have that much in common.

I'm talking 80% POW, 10% treasury, 10% Masternodes, something in that ballpark. While we're at it lets get rid of chainlocks.

This would kill the coin, once the yield is gone, the capital would be sold en-masse and the price would be obliterated, the dev team would become completely unfunded and leave we'd fall off the CMC and enter the realm of the zombie coins like peercoin, feathercoin, megacoin, namecoin and countless others.

Staking rewards is a key feature of Dash since it is pure DeFi and trustless, no rug, it is distinct advantage over the more centralised DeFi options. Paying for our independent dev team is crucial in ensuring the code base is not only maintained, but also innovating forward, kill that off and the community will soon leave and finally the miners will leave as the value plummets.

Oh come on. its because people like me sold? that proposal passed with thousands of yes votes and about 2 no votes! Ridiculous argument
binance spinning up masternodes and stealing the reward.

I'm going to tune out of this ridiculousness now. Good luck with it
