Evan left Dash in the hands of a team ... what has happened to Dash since then?
Good luck and greetings
A lot has happened to Dash since then :
Note : each of these little text fields can be clicked on in the actual roadmap to provide more details. The actual roadmap also includes update v0.15, but that could not fit in my screenshot.
Link to actual roadmap :
https://www.dash.org/roadmap/Evan never had to deal with a three year long Altcoins bear market, coming down on us all hard. Or had to deal with the corona virus outbreak spooking institutional investors, who started to classify
crypto assets in general as being too risky at the time, thereby prolonging and strengthening our Altcoins bear market. Evan also did not have to deal with an expanding Dash circulating supply growth
and the problems that come with that. Circulating supply growth problems that only really started to emerge after he left.
I understand that these are troubling and emotional times to people who are monitoring Altcoins on price, marketcap and marketcap ranks, but just keep in mind all bearmarkets at some point will come to an end.
We had one hell of an Altcoins bull market in 2017 and the market re-balanced that by giving us all an even larger one hell of an Altcoins bear market.
Learn from this. Don't over invest next time. Build-up reserves. Have patience. And most importantly : don't let your emotions cloud your judgement during bear or bull markets.
These are difficult lessons to learn for sure, i am still learning them myself.
Thank you for your always polite and reasoned responses.
I accept that yes, things have been done, but basically, I mean the economic cost of what DCG has done compared to the cost of what Evan achieved.
How much has DCG spent in total since they took over?
How much does Evan spend?
Good programmers are expensive, I know, but so much?
We have not announced before the super bowl, but the budget money has been "invested" in this relative progress.
I also accept your stance on a long-term bear market, but don't you think that if DCG had done as many awesome things as it gets, Dash would be on everyone's lips?
Nobody is perfect, I am not, but I think that if I manage the budget that DCG has managed in recent years, things would be very different.
DCG's policy was; first we create something good, then they will come.
Well, something has been created that seems very good ... or is it not as good as we think? ... I think it is, but perhaps I see it with the eyes of a fool in love.
I ask people on the street often, if they know what BTC is, and yes, they do.
I ask if they know what Ethereum is, and some do, or have heard it somewhere.
I ask about Dash, and the most I've managed to do is tell me that the Kardashians have a clothing store with that name.
I didn't invest significant money here, I just got in a good time, and traded well in a bull market that brought me a lot of free Dash.
Would I put the money I have here invested today?
Well, it's a difficult question, but I have doubts if I would ... maybe a part, but not all.
I'm on the Dash boat, and I don't want it to sink, so I'm critical.
Michael Jordan was not in the best team in history being benevolent with his teammates, he was a dictator, and very tough, and this led them to be better.
Here, you need a charismatic leader, and capable of being tough when necessary ... I only ask for that. And if not, that the big holders in master nodes present a new proposal ... it's that simple.
