Dash currently has a 1 million dollar a month budget to spend and nobody even knows we exist. When Evolution comes out, and we're the only ones solving governance, scalability... etc... problems, so when Dash FINALLY announces to the world "We're HERE!" I don't think it's likely that Dash will fail, especially with our budget to advertise. Dash is willingly holding back on advertisement due to propriety. But if Dash were worth a Bitcoin today, we'd have a 10 million dollar monthly budget to spend. I think at this point we will be able to challenge anyone in court. That is ultimately the budget's job. To protect the network and keep it running smoothly. You think a state can get things in gear enough to shut us down a year from now? You honestly think the Government is that efficient? If they were, I would be highly impressed.
No, and no again because there actually ARE a few wise and intelligent people in Government positions, and they understand what is going on more than many here do. And they know that stifling this technology will put their state, that is USA, Canada, Europe, Germany (might be stupid enough to try) Ethiopia, Argentina (might be corrupt enough to try) etc... at such a disadvantage they may never climb out of the primordial sludge while everyone else prospers.
So if Visa can buy laws, so can we, and I believe we have, by far, the better argument, and our unalienable human rights on our side. We are not defenseless.
