It seems that the rise of Dash's other forms of communication has unfortunately been at this old thread's expense! The level of conversation here has fallen right off. But the conversation runs strong at www.dash.org and http://dashchat.co. Join us there. Cheers. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Luckily for Dash, our decentralized funding and governance model is so solid, with a high enough marketcap, we could vote to start our own Apple if we wanted.
What does that even mean? It means the sky's the limit for Dash, my friend. The possibilities of this creation are endless. No joke.

Some "Nation" you got going here. One gambling industry human parasite, spamming his own echo chamber thread.... ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Dash on iOS? LOL, no. Sorry, but Apple has standards for what is allowed in their walled garden. Dash, as an instamined shitcoin whose Masternode HYIP fails the Howey test, falls far short of those standards. You guys know what I'm going to say.... ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Wait for it.... Unfortunate situation with Apple, yes. Very disappointing. And as usual, you display your usual flair for your craft. Dash won't let this setback get us down, though. There are too many great things going for this project for that piece of bad news to do any real damage. When you're building the digital cash that Satoshi envisioned, with fast, private, easy to use transactions, you have to expect bumps in the road from those who would seek to impede our progress. Luckily for Dash, our decentralized funding and governance model is so solid, with a high enough marketcap, we could vote to start our own Apple if we wanted. Thanks for paying the thread a visit, partner, all the nice Dash info is front and center again. You're a pal! Tao Informative links in the OP.

...and if by some form of miracle someone does go through the expense and excruciating circumstances to actually pinpoint the sending address, after all that, Dash reverts back to Bitcoin pseudo-anonymity, which is pretty hard to crack in its own right.
After which, the coins could be re-mixed again, so you would need to do the whole process over again. Is someone willing to keep shelling out money forever just to render transactions pseudo-anonymous? I don't see the financial incentive.

Hello Dashers! The current budget has 50 DASH unallocated for the next month. If you haven't voted yet, please consider supporting me for my promotional and community building efforts. I am gearing up to work even harder for Dash, but I would need a vote of confidence from the investors. Please consider my proposal an alternative to simply burning the Dash. I guarantee you, I am providing value for the network! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) VOTE YES: dash-cli mnbudget vote-many cc9f47f22ca96c3a8553a46e4a761eb58ccd6e7e8fec772fa5295bc42a484dab yes VOTE NO: dash-cli mnbudget vote-many cc9f47f22ca96c3a8553a46e4a761eb58ccd6e7e8fec772fa5295bc42a484dab no Cheers, Tao. Bump. 18 hours to go before the budget is finalized!

As the topic of why masternode owners are likely long term investors was brought up, I'm happy to chime in.
During the day I'm a derivatives trader. I really don't trust our markets so I never hold futures contracts for very long and whenever I do invest in something for the long term, I am always looking for the most yield with the least amount of risk.
Currently, I could park my money in treasuries, bonds, dividend paying stocks or even write my own options. What becomes fairly apparent when looking into all of these though is that the yield on both the safer and riskier investments is so low right now that at this point in time, they don't make a lot of sense unless those are your only options.
While Dash is not the only crypto I hold, it is currently the only one that does offer an inviting yield on your investment. On my masternodes I currently make 10% annual ROI. About 1.75% of that does get taken away whenever I convert masternode payments back to fiat due to various exchange fees but the remaining 8.25% is still a fantastic return.
While I know this is anecdotal evidence, I do think its safe to assume that a good portion of other masternode owners have performed a similar assessment of what will offer the greatest "guaranteed" ROI and chose to invest in Dash and its masternodes because of this. All investments have risks and your initial investment could go down in value. Dash is no exception but considering that I actually have voting power as to the direction of my investment, I feel comfortable holding Dash for the long term over lets say Intel or Apple stock where I could be earning a much smaller dividend with lower risk but would not have the same voting power.
Without incentivized nodes, I am beginning to doubt the long term viability of other currencies as I think they will eventually face the same problems that bitcoin is now. I really hope more currencies begin to incorporate incentivized nodes and I know there are several that are.
Well said, it's such a unique opportunity, you just kind of want to be a part of it just to see where it goes. Something like this has never been done before, and to be one of a handful who were smart enough to get in on it in the beginning is an honor. Even if the risk is great (nothing is guaranteed), the sheer intrigue of the whole thing hooked me. Nothing is sweeter than sending that vote command to the network and having your opinion be counted, as well as many others, all in a decentralized way. In my opinion, the financial rewards for masternodes are just gravy at this point.
