[idea] Should a % of the budget go to a fund to lobby (/donate) politicians?

[NCM]

Most big companies have lobbyists, especially ones that operate in regulatory gray areas.

Might need lawyers before we need lobbyists - due to the gray areas

 

[drkhouse]

haha say what? they want to ban crypto

 

[Jeztah]

no. Fook those thieves.

Actually, I've been lobbying myself here for people to think about the possibility of retaining a - top notch - world class - law firm some day. We don't need one yet, I know of at least one firm that can do the job - some day. But right now, the PR firm is much like a lobbyist spreading the word and knowledge. When things turn dangerous, then we can start thinking about a powerful law firm.

Why would a powerful law firm take us on? Well, frankly, because we're blazing new ground, and they know this is a new field that, well at least from what I know of this firm, they would want to have a foot in.

So no rush yet. But yes, we should keep this in the back of our minds. We're a serious project. If I may say so, we're far more serious than the Bitcoin team. And certainly more independant as the Bitcoin team have been bought out. We're forever independent.

In the meantime, a couple of members here are lawyers and have been guiding Evan unofficially.

No, money should be spent to disrupt government, not feed it.

How do you find an honest one that hasn't sold his soul to the banker backed military industrial complex?

Politicians are the most disloyal assholes on this planet, as soon as someone pays more they switch sides.
We need loyal supporters!

In the words of Gerald Celente who has known many, they are the ugly ones in school that noone liked who later became head pupil, you only got to look at what the room mates said about top psycho bitch to realize that.

Some Bitcoin companies are already doing this with some level of success but Dash is too small currently to entertain such ideas.

 

[TroyDASH]

Absolutely no. It would be good for neither the politician nor the DASH network.
