Well read this:
Dash is money, not a venture capital investor. Venture capital companies have governance systems for "tracking what's happening in our economy" but money sure as hell does not since the whole point of "sound money" is that once you have it you are at liberty to do whatever you want with it.
These two objectives just have wildly conflicting priorities.
Dash's priorities IMO should be aligned with those of a monetary medium. i.e.
[1] - continue to consolidate the technology behind improving fungibility and security
[2] - implement a commercial API to make it universally mobile and accessible
Those two priorities are consistent with those of monetary media. Dash is on solid ground.
The governance system is there to support development of the monetary token - not the other way around IM(H)O.
