First of all, it is a pleasure that you post in this forum, I follow you in the DASH forum and your contributions are of great interest, well-intentioned and always looking for improvements, imo. The point is that what is being raised is just another dissimulation about the corpse of the REAL DASH community that the Mnodes robbed and expelled from the project. Without real decentralization, anyway, I don't understand any improvement.
The model is not "a kind of centralization" ... it is centralization, absolute and outright ... in fact, DASH is more like future CBDCs than the libertarian cryptos that forged this space. Instead of being manipulated by politicians, it is done by another small group, nothing more ... but the model is identical: It will be the currency that 300 guys want (or less, it depends on who owns that 80% of Mnodes that until now do not vote ... maybe those who have done so until now should not worry about it anymore) . A global project in the hands of 2 or 300 people, infinitely less than any shareholder of a company. ... There are almost one million four hundred thousand addresses in DASH. The relationship is better not even considering it ... it would be ridiculous.
An endogamous solution of "voting for that elite" only wants to wash the face of a centralized project ... it does not seek honest synergies or decentralization. DASH was looking for that ... those who hijacked the project were not ... quite the opposite.
Now the DASH "community" can vote for their leaders ... is that it? An ally of a decentralized project does not seek the generosity or condescension of anyone. Seeks synergy and a respectful return to your participation. Generate a huge collective force outside of authority and take advantage of it, nothing more. Although the worst thing is not the scam committed ... but the beautiful original project will not be able to be enjoyed by anyone.
Well, for that, it wouldn't hurt to wash your face alone. I hope that the "market" pays for that commercial proposal as it deserves, that is, commercially.
By the way ... it is totally logical that the "outsiders" think that and more if they are supporters of crypto and know the movement / sector, etc ...... but personally, this is my fifth year in DASH and I think the same . And anyone would do it without DASH's fallacious "community" narrative. The DASH community is a couple of hundred people. What anyone understands by community in crypto, people integrated in the project, by investment, conceptual empathy, collective growth , etc ... does not exist in DASH. They are CLIENTS of an elite that monopolizes the rights and benefits of it. Personally, I don't consider myself a foreigner ... or a "user" of DASH. In fact, I never configured my Mnodes for not collaborating in a hoax. Making money with direct lies, euphemisms or self-serving half-truths is not my thing, I have never done it and I never will ... especially because four too smart guys have come up with it and take on that role. DASH was my favorite project to compete against BTC, which is already impossible to do due to the centralization of DASH ... Anyway, I have made very good money with other projects, I do not need to assume fallacies, or deceive anyone for it. That is precisely why I am in crypto, to avoid the fantastic stories of political smoke sellers who want to take advantage of others ... what I needed to get here to assume it...what a joke !
People who watch Netflix at home are not "the Netflix community" ... that's cheap demagoguery to camouflage an unacceptable manipulation in the crypto world ... and more with "libertarian" statements about being your own bank, etc (For true ... Duffield already exposed it from the beginning with the "remunerated accounts" for micro-holders - Shared Mnodes - of DASH ... but the people all over the world who believed him lost their money and any right or capacity of integration in DASH ... and buying tokens for thousands of dollars). Even if you tried a "popular" poll on Netflix, the community would still not exist. Netflix users don't give a shit how they run that company, just like a telephony server or an electricity provider ... they are CUSTOMERS: They pay for a service, they want to receive it, and finish. But clients neither run Netflix nor support the work of its executives. The DASH elite choose this profile for those who need to be more modestly involved in the project ... but without integrating them. And they will receive the same ... at best.
Worst of all for DASH is that it will offer services that other projects do integrate into a collective and decentralized movement, without elitist manipulations. To begin with, these projects will respond respectfully, proportionally and in accordance with the purchasing power of each ally committed to the project based on their purchasing power and time of incorporation into the project ... which is absolutely logical and the DASH hijackers prevent all Costa, with the aggravating circumstance of having announced it to the whole world years ago, keeping their money and then marginalizing them. So those who want to get into crypto, join the "free money" revolution, without being controlled by 10,000 politicians or 300 too smart kids ... they will join another project that recognizes, respects, integrates and rewards them, even if their shipments take another minute. And they will commit to those projects like with their basketball or soccer team ... with devotion ... and with the added bonus as well as risking their money.
DASH will never have that. Those who kidnapped the jewel raised by its founder have chosen it that way. An endogamous approach intended to "enjoy" the generosity of an elite is not a collective or decentralized approach. That elite tries to mitigate the consequences of their deception cosmetically, because the appearance, in the context of the crypto revolution, is simply shameful and unacceptable ... but without giving up the benefits of the centralized project, of course.
In any case, the actual decentralization of the project is not an act of generosity, but of survival. The more atomized the governance, the less risk of control there is by large holders of tokens ... or groups of them. You will have to live with it ... indeed, I presume that in a voting niche where 4000 out of 5000 have not yet "shown the leg", - 5000 devices, not people, many with tens or hundreds of votes...that even that "decentralization in 5000 Mnodes" is used fallaciously - the modest Mnodes will suffer the consequences.
Personally, I will not suffer. Without a conceptual fork to recover the original project, unfortunately, in DASH , I'm just waiting for a good trade..., like so many other people .
