Welcome!

Dear Dash community,

It's time to be realistic about our situation. We are stuck in a multi-year downtrend, with smaller and smaller bounces as we fall. The years and years of accumulated bagholders willing to dump on any uptrend ensures we may be stuck in it for years to come, regardless of what apps are built and released.

It's extremely unlikely that there will be a sudden mass adoption of dash regardless of whatever apps are released. As long as dash is steadily losing value, nobody except masternodes will hold it. Users don't want to hold a crypto that is constantly losing value, even if the app is cool.

We have one powerful tool at our disposal: reduce supply to reduce selling pressure.

Miners need to sell to pay for electricity. Treasury recipients need to sell to pay their bills. However, Masternode holders are able to hold, and they do.

Reducing miners and the treasury to 10% each WILL cut the selling pressure in half. Increasing the masternodes to 80% WILL make them an even better investment and attract even more holders!

The power of supply and demand is undeniable. It is the only hopium-free way out of this mess. Our situation will only continue to get worse and worse if we rely on hopium of our apps eventually being adopted by the masses. Again, users don't want to hold a crypto that is constantly losing value, even if the app is cool.

Don't be afraid to reduce the treasury to 10%. Once dash reaches $44 it will have the same purchasing power as it does now at $22.

With selling pressure cut in half, dash will quickly stabilize, and then it will rise! Imagine the treasury's purchasing power when dash returns to $100 and beyond!!

If we make the adjustment, dash will break out of the downtrend, and it will not take long.

Reducing supply is the most powerful tool we have, let's use it! Vote for my proposal and watch dash rise! As it rises, new users and holders will come, and we can change the world.

Vote yes!

>We are stuck in a multi-year downtrend, with smaller and smaller bounces as we fall.

You have NO proof that this is due to 'the block reward split' and plenty of evidence that since the first reduction in POW that it has ONLY made things worse. Yet you REFUSE to consider this possibility, highly indicating that you're a bad actor, paid to dismantle Dash by using the low price (which is the only support for your argument, you wouldn't be able to make these proposals if Dash's price were trading normally) as a nipple-twisting pain point.

Yet, the Monero community that you idiots all worship and fawn over has MUCH WORSE TECH and is indeed in a funding crisis because they don't have a decentralized way to get paid from the blockchain. Despite this, you NEVER see anyone attack them for it, and their PRICE NEVER SUFFERS FOR IT EITHER! That indicates that YOU ARE WRONG and there is NOTHING that we could do to the reward to change this fate.

In fact, we should INCREASE POW, as we have tried decreasing it already and the price situation ONLY GOT WORSE. It is clear that you and your group are using the price to cynically suggest self-destructive behavior while promoting false narratives. Dash already has MORE ADOPTION THAN EVERY OTHER CRYPTOCURRENCY COMBINED!

I proved FIVE YEARS AGO that Dash has MORE adoption that EVERY OTHER major crypto COMBINED!

https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/hahb6b/comparing_cryptocurrency_adoption_btc_vs_bch_vs/

"This means that the Dash network processed **510,000 commercial transactions for the month of April** or more than 5 times the total combined payment volume of BTC, BCH and ETH!! Dash is far more widely adopted than these coins based on this metric. "

These statistics have only GOTTEN WORSE for our competitors since then! https://www.bitpay.com/stats

"Only 30,769 crypto transactions processed by BitPay in the last 30 days"

According to bitpay! While Dash's transactions have REMAINED steady since that period, which means that we have gained EVEN MORE ADOPTION than we had before. Your point requires you to IGNORE this and pretend like "we're somehow losing".

The truth is that whoever is paying you to post these lies is ALSO paying to reduce the price of Dash through aggressive short-selling and other manipulative tactics. We've ALL SEEN IT, Dash will pump and then mysteriously GET SMACKED BACK DOWN. EVERY TIME! FOR YEARS NOW! While Monero, which has ALL KINDS OF BUGS, NO ADOPTION, QUBIC REORGING THEIR CHAIN and all kinds of ***bad news*** NEVER sees any sort of real price decline!

This is CYNICAL MANIPULATION and it is an OBVIOUS TELL that the prices of Dash and Monero are being manipulated in opposite directions in order TO COERCE THE DASH COMMUNITY to engage in self-destructive behavior.

Regardless of your arguments (which I will deal with below), the **ONLY** correct response to this attack and tactic is TO STRONGLY RESIST! There is NO ROOM FOR CAPITULATION! Because you cannot negotiate with terrorists! They do not keep their deals, and they do NOT give concessions so you will ONLY EVER be agreeing to your death! This is the stark reality that you are HIDING from people and not informing them of, but that underlies your EVERY ATTEMPT to damage Dash by pulling it from its original vision and mission.

>Miners need to sell to pay for electricity. Treasury recipients need to sell to pay their bills. However, Masternode holders are able to hold, and they do.

This is by design; having Miners required to sell to pay their costs FORCES DASH to be spread far and wide. Having a bunch of holders that don't sell is what NANO has. A bunch of people who have to TRICK others into buying their bags because there's no market liquidity (it was all distributed to a few people via captchas).

This would DESTROY Dash's price, like Nano's has been. Forcing miners to sell forces Dash to be distributed and **EASILY AVAILABLE TO NEW PEOPLE WHO WANT IT** at MARKET RATES. This is a VERY important dynamic of BTC and the original POW system that you are DELIBERATELY ignoring and trying to use the ignorance of as a weapon against our community. You are hoping and assuming that most people DON'T KNOW OR UNDERSTAND how this works so that you can CYNICALLY TRICK US into "accidentally destroying our own coin. Oopsies!"

Adopting this tactic makes you A BAD ACTOR!

>Reducing miners and the treasury to 10% each WILL cut the selling pressure in half.

No it won't, it won't affect the negative manipulation of our price at all and will further hurt the price by limiting availability at market rates of Dash.

> Increasing the masternodes to 80% WILL make them an even better investment and attract even more holders!

No it won't. If you want to increase masternode ROI, then you RAISE THE PRICE NOT TINKER WITH THE REWARD STRUCTURE! You are trying to CYNICALLY use Dash's governance as a WEAPON AGAINST IT, so you can make the retarded and idiotic argument that "see?

Dash's governance isn't better than Monero's! Hahaha look you're not even POW anymore! Monero still is, so we're BETTER THAN YOU!" Childish school-yard taunts are ALL YOU'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH HERE, YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT DASH!

Fighting the manipulation of the price is the ONLY WAY to increase ROI for masternodes, that means NOT CAPITULATING to these cynical and UNFOUNDED DEMANDS (if POW was such a bad thing, BTC, Monero and other coins wouldn't have such sky-high prices for such little utility, entirely dismantling your fear-based argument on its face).

>It is the only hopium-free way out of this mess.

Your plan is the ONLY hopium here. You assume that by "cutting mining by half the price will double". That assumption relies on the faulty notion that price is being suppressed by mining which is NOT THE CASE! We have proof of this already! We already cut POW years ago and the PRICE HAS NEVER RECOVERED! Obviously, doing that again would CUT THE PRICE IN HALF AGAIN. You are using HOPIUM to emotionally torture the network into capitulation so you don't have to acknowledge that this strategy has ALREADY FAILED!

>Reducing supply is the most powerful tool we have, let's use it!

No its not! The supply is ALREADY FIXED! Reducing by an arbitrary amount will NOT accomplish anything! This is cynical reasoning! You are not being forthright nor honest in your proposal because you are supported by Dash's enemies and are trying to 'hide in plain sight' like Joel valenzuela with his 'pro-monero ct tech' push. YOU ALL ARE TRAITORS!

Congratulations for trying to vote the numbers. But lets examine the stupidity of the proposal owner.

He spend 1 dash in order to change the block reward allocation. WITH FIVE MORE dash, he could solve this problem FOREVER !!!!

Simply, as long as he wants to change the block reward allocation from "20-miners/20-budget/60-mnos" to 10/10/80 , this vote could be implemented as two numerical votes.

SO WE COULD SIMPLY PUT TWO THREE DIGIT NUMERICAL PROPOLAS ASKING FOR THE PERCENTAGE OF THE MINERS AND THE PERCENTAGE OF THE BUDGET (the rest will be the MNOS reward) (look here https://mnowatch.org/votethenumbers/ on how you could implement it)

So with five more dash you could PUT A NEVERENDING NUMERICAL PROPOSAL, and solve the problem of the allocation between mnos and miners ONCE AND FOREVER. Instead of the above they posted yet another useless proposal, this proposal will last one month only, more people will be required to vote again and again , and more proposal fees will be spend for nothing. Stupidity, the bigest force of the universe. Deja vue!

Read here for more info. https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/changing-the-block-reward-allocation.56058/page-2#post-242008

Here is an example of a 3 digit numerical vote, by using some already existing proposals (you should create your own, if you want the numerical proposal to make sense)

But the stupid voters of the Dash community (the infamous MNOs) keep supporting the incompetent and stubborn DCG that since 2016 still refuses to accept the "vote the numbers" road, that will certainly help the Dash pathetic coin to escape from the death spiral.

https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/proposal-%E2%80%9Ctreasury-reallocation-60-20-20%E2%80%9C-active.54063/#post-236330

Stupidity is the biggest force of the Dash universe.

Don't be afraid to support this change. The logic is clear and sound.

Shifting more to the masternodes will reduce selling pressure and cause more people to invest in masternodes, which will also lock up more dash. It won't take long for dash to stop falling and begin rising.

Once it returns to around 46 usd, the treasury will have the same purchasing power it currently has at around $23. Then it will continue to rise, and the treasury's purchasing power will continue upward with it.

This reallocation will be powerful and will overcome the constant selling pressure and all the resistance caused by bagholders waiting to break even and sell. An IOS wallet or any other dApp are unlikely to have that power.

Imagine the purchasing power of the treasury once dash reaches $100 and beyond again.

Trust the logic and the math, not hopium on an unlikely mass adoption of a couple apps.

No one wants to be a part of fickle governance, where changes - rewriting the rules - can be made from one month to the next. As a startup you're going to be small and nimble, but after 11 years dash should of sorted that shit out.

Imo, the only proposal that makes sense is to stop all "decision" proposals. The irony!

How about we just get platform wallet on IOS? None of the previous redistributions have helped Dash's price, this won't either. What we need is to perform. We are "" this close to having a usable platform, lets finish it off and get services started on it that nobody can resist. THEN we will win!

Voting NO on this BRA adjustment proposal for the same reasons as the other. Now is not the right time for this. I would entertain these changes at the top of the bull market. I also am not in favour of reducing the treasury allocation, in fact, my preference would be to increase it. We get a lot done with the treasury, eg principle development (DCG), secondary development (Pshenmic), marketing and social outreach (Joel+) and when the budget is bigger, one-off sponsorships and partnerships. No other crypto can self promote and self fund itself like Dash can and it is one of the reasons why this Dino coin is still alive 11 years after its launch.

The only issue with your assumption is, that we perhaps will never see a 'top of the bull market' ever again, let alone a new ATH.
Therefore, there is a good chance, that the 'right time' to support either one of the two proposals, will never come.
Think about it.

There is nothing to suggest this. Recall that in November last year, Dash went from the current price we are at now to $71 in a month. When alts run, we will be there again. Have faith!

You could be wrong.
We may never see again what happened last November.

No. We just need to finish the platform and develop applications on it.

Develop all you want, if there are almost no users...
