Welcome!

I've been giving away Bitcoin for years to introduce people to the speed and ease of making peer-to-peer payments.  I've recently become frustrated by the high Bitcoin network fees.   I'd frequently give away $5 of my own Bitcoin to introduce the cryptocurrency, but at times the fees were so high that another $6 is spent just to send $5.   And with fees that high, the $5 becomes worthless because to use it would require paying most or all of it in fees.   Bitcoin Cash is much better in this regard, but does not yet have as much infrastructure as Dash.

My proposal is simple.   I'm proposing to give away Dash to people in my sphere of influence to introduce them to Dash and its benefits.   The Dash network benefits in three ways:

• The Dash network gains new participants, which is a very important component to the value of any crypto-currency.
• Introduce Dash to significant influencers in the space.  The nature of my work brings me in contact with entrepreneurs, millionaires, and influencers in the FinTech and cryptocurrency space.
• Installation of the Dash wallet on more mobile phones and used by more people for peer-to-peer transactions.

Proposal:

• Dash will be given to new users who have not yet been introduced to Dash.
• No more than 1/10 (0.10) Dash per person.   Once Dash is over $500/Dash this will be adjusted to 1/20 (0.05) Dash.
• New Dash users will be shown how to load a mobile wallet (Android or iOS) to use their new Dash.
• New users will be given instructions on how to get more Dash, and how to spend Dash at merchants (like Overstock.com).
• Suggest to new users that they give some of their new Dash to others to continue the network effect.
• I will not keep any of the Dash (except the refund of the 5 DASH proposal fee).  I will continue to find new users, or I will reduce the proposal to fit within my ability to introduce Dash to others.

Why me?
My name is Tron, and I currently work for a very influential company in the crypto space -- Medici Ventures (https://www.mediciventures.com).  It's owned by Overstock.com and focuses on advancing blockchain technology.  Medici Ventures invests in a portfolio of companies including Factom, Bitt, Ripio, Spera, and other crypto Fintech companies that fall into our six areas of investment.  Before working for Medici, I was buying, trading, mining, and created a company that tracked the value of cryptocurrency portfolios in real-time.   I worked for t0 (tzero), a portfolio company of Medici Ventures, that issued the first publicly traded SEC acknowledged parallel crypto-equity from Overstock.com (https://www.wired.com/2016/12/overstock-com-issues-stock-via-bitcoin-blockchain/).  I've also worked for ANX International, a Fintech company located in Hong Kong which runs a Bitcoin exchange, offers Bitcoin Debit cards, and is currently working on a decentralized exchange.  I'm working with another portfolio company, Spera, to enable the unbanked to participate in the western world's freedom economy while getting paid in crypto-currency.

As part of my work for Medici, I helped get Dash accepted by Overstock.com.

I've written articles about Dash before it was called Dash.  Here is an article I wrote in Feb 2015 about Darkcoin (renamed a month later to Dash) where I recommend the technology, but suggest that "widespread adoption would be easier with a moniker less associated with the web’s underbelly."

Here is a video of a recent presentation I gave at the theater in the Overstock.com Peace Coliseum where I work.  We had people from two different Bitcoin meetup groups and people from the largest Dash meetup group, led by Rion Gull.

I operate a masternode and have Dash's best interest in mind.

I will give instruction, and Dash to 50 people per month.
I participated in a recent Dash sponsored event, TEDx Salt Lake City, where we introduced over a thousand people to Dash through event sponsorship and a Dash giveaway.   It is this very successful event, and my work with Rion and Alex, that inspired me to write this proposal.

Budget:
5 Dash/Month for six months - distribution to 50 people/month
5 Dash - proposal fee

I submitted a pre-proposal and it seemed to be well liked, except by one individual that seemed to be universally recognized as a troll.

My intention was to submit for a recurring six-month proposal plus the 5 DASH proposal fee, but I didn't see an easy way to do that, so I submitted a seven-month recurring proposal.  Once approved, I'll begin right away and the final month will refund the proposal fee.  If it succeeds as well as I hope, I will submit a new proposal at the end of the six months.

Thank you fellow masternodes for your consideration of my proposal.
