I’m writing to you and the community as a whole. I understand that many of you bought into Dash because you see it as a potential winner in the crypto space and that you can earn a steady income from running a node. The budget system is great, only as a business person, you don’t see the value of some of the apparently wasteful things that have been supported in the past, and you are going to do your darndest to put a stop to it! I appreciate that. Many of the things Dash has done don’t make economic sense. I keep hearing about the Rate of Income, and that we’re not seeing sufficient returns on some of the proposals. Unfortunately, I don’t think you understand what you signed on for. Please let me explain.
The cryptocurrency movement started by the unknown Satoshi Nakamoto, is a declaration of war against the incumbent banking system. There is no sweeter way of saying it. Of course nobody wants actual war, or any type of violence, however the incumbent system has utterly failed the people of the world in so many ways, and are undoubtedly the cause and source of all the wars around the world; the proof of which would be far too long a book to write here. This war can only be won Gandhi style, Martin Luther King Jr. style. We must win the hearts and minds of the world. We must grab as big a foothold in countries who have been decimated by bad governments and bankers. What you signed on for here is not a “business” that runs a balance sheet and must show profit. You signed on to a war.
If you have not noticed yet, The IMF’s Christine Lagarde had declared the need to “control cryptocurrencies”. The good news is that they can not, ultimately, control them. They can however block fiat access which would be a huge slowdown in adoption. You see, when Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin, he knew he already won the war. However, there are still battles to go through. They will not change the ultimate outcome, but they can cause a LOT of misery; probably even death, as it’s obvious that those in power will do anything to keep it. It does NOT have to go this way if we play the game of Chess well. They’re on the defense. Lets keep them there!
So what do we need to get us through these battles as unscathed and solid as possible? We need two things. We need to win hearts and minds of the people of the world and we need to get footholds in large areas where people use cryptos in daily life, not fiat. For this, Dash is the best tool, but the crypto community as a whole needs to band together to make this work! And because of our budget, Dash is in the best position to lead this charge.
If you have not noticed, the media is fully controlled by the governments today. There is no more freedom of the press anymore, except for small independent groups and individuals. Today’s mainstream media is pulled by the very same strings; not left, not right, none of that is even real. Who in America that isn’t brainwashed or mentally ill, really hates blacks, whites, browns yellows and purples? You really think “white” people care what color skin another person has? I’ll tell you, not any more than a black or brown or purple person is likely to hate a white or other color person. No, it’s a tool to divide and conquer. Birth control, abortion, wages, race; it’s all fodder to keep the people incensed and impudent. Nothing changes no matter who is in charge.
By supporting projects like The Free Thought Project, Ben Swann, and the crypto show (and their humanitarian aid arm) and more, we develop a relationship and allies. Our funding can empower free media, and in return we can expect that they will tell the truth about crypto. This is the absolutely best way to win hearts and minds in my opinion because even the most average of humans in the United States feels manipulated and that something isn’t right in the media, even if they can’t put their finger on it. If we can increase the reach of Truth in Media or any other such project, it will be the best tool we can hope for in this war.
Also, the importance of what we do in Venezuela and other South American countries, plus what we do for many countries in Africa cannot be under estimated. These are Dash’s and crypto’s foot holds. There is so much potential in Africa and South America, and digital currencies will free that potential. If you don’t know by now, you should know that it is corrupt banking or lack thereof that keeps the people in these parts of the world from participating economically in the world. If we get a real economy working in these parts of the world, these countries or areas have no debt, no love of western banking. They will be whole heartedly crypto. And nobody will be able to change that.
Either we win, or we drag this out forever, until the corrupt institutions of the world find a way to co-opt everything the crypto community have been trying to build. We look at the bottom line for what Ben Swann’s rate of return cost per click was, or we back media because it represents freedom as does cryptocurrency. We build a trust relationship with hard working young people in Africa, who are grass rooting their country and soon catapulting it to the top of the food chain, or we leave them and their potential high and dry because pictures aren’t enough proof, there “could” be waste in how they are functioning, or god forbit they “take us” for a dash or two. I don’t even think they’d ever even do that, they’re full of so much zest for building an economy in their homeland, but the narrow-minded fear we seem to have is starting to become irrational.
If you haven’t guessed by now, this letter to you, the Dash community is a request to support and vote for all the African, Venezuelan, Benn Swann, Truth in Media proposals because we NEED these people to win! Thank you so much for reading this and I apologize for posting this everywhere, but that is my intention.
I believe he would deliver well and get Dash to more people in Africa, this time DASH need this proposal for more adoption and usage from Africa.
Cheers!
Cheers!
When people start to use dash, instead of speculating on it's price, Dash will start to shine. No other coin can do what we can do. We need to prove it with high transaction counts!!!! So lets get people to start trading/buying, etc... I don't know how we are going to do it, but Dash has to be easy to buy, so that people are willing to spend it and trade for it, and aren't afraid of running out of it (if they can buy more, they shouldn't feel that way). Anyway, we have got to get the infrastructure built in all areas of Africa and these efforts are only the start of that!
Cheers !
We believe this project is going to expand the frontier and reach of DASH into unbanked area and Africa weak economy.
Thank you for helping us Transform Africa into Dash-hub.
Cheers mate!
I like that you have had your pre-proposal up for a month before submitting your proposal, allowing plenty of time for feedback and discussion, rather than rushing it through.
I like that you have set up escrow.
This proposal is well written, detailed.
Your past work with meetups shows you are effective and that your heart is in it.
This is also a reasonable amount of money, and Africa is as important to Dash as Latin America. I trust you will do your best and that you will be effective. I hope this passes.
Africa is important but the methodologies in this proposal are costly, inefficient, and they don't properly scale.
For an Africa campaign where impressions and users can be obtained extremely cheaply, we should mimic dashmaximalist's viral approach (Getfreedash) that has worked successfully in Venezuela. We can't afford to pay this much per user when we now have a proven strategy that can get new downloads/users for $1 a pop.
The world is not a uniform place where you can copy-paste and expect the same results. Each region, each culture, each language, each market will have its own unique features, and who better to test those waters and lay those foundations than people native to them with enthusiasm toward that goal? When in Rome...(or in this case Africa)...
This particular proposal may not see ROI but does place a growing team and contacts throughout Africa that will be leveraged in the future to help with even more projects. We aren't aiming for adoption with this. What we want to see is people from African countries joining Dash forums and asking how they can help.
Most of those things are provided by this proposal. This is the groundwork to make getfreedash succeed in Africa when it expands to there.
The methodologies in this proposal for massive Adoption are justifiable, set milestone achievements in details and cost are scalable and present Value for Money.
We are on the ground, I have several times make enquiry from newbies, crypto users and Businesses on the best strategy to make Dash go viral in Africa and this strategy seems best and I will appreciate that you support this Initiative as Africa offers great opportunities to make DASH the future of money.
Thanks for the consideration.
I'd prefer that UltimateCrypto were hired 'a la carte' through a different Africa proposal or someone like DF who has a budget for international meetups.
In gist, this proposal have Conferences,Workshops, Local Cryptocurrency exchange adoption, training of Ambassador for pan Africa project, recruiting new merchants for online and offline p2p exchange for Dash to Fiat and above all lay the foundation for pan Africa project.
Cheers!
This is where cryptocurrency has the advantage over banks. Dash can go into areas that banks refuse to reach.
When a laborer asks for payment in Dash and refuses fiat, that is when we win.
