" From an open Dash community it has become a closed Dash budget community to capture funds to live on the budget. "
This is technically incorrect. Anybody can participate in the Dash community at any level they desire. There are no gatekeepers.
Got an idea for marketing? Post it on the forums. Post it on the totally open Marketing Hub.
Got an idea for Dash that is not marketing? Post it on the forums. Post it on the totally open Incubator.
Want to work for Dash and earn Dash? Look over the tasks on the Incubator Hub and the Marketing Hub and see if any of those tasks fit your skill set and enthusiasm. Put in a proposal that is well thought out with clear goals and clear key performance indicators to show progress toward the goal.
Want to have a say in how it is run? Sell your car and buy a Masternode. They are on sale RIGHT NOW.
AND, the cost to submit a proposal is about to drop 80% as our software updates making it even easier.
Nobody is stopping anybody from doing ANY of those things RIGHT NOW.
Yes, the whole budget process is easier when Dash is valued above 150'ish. Right now, Dash is in survival mode. I would also note that we are in a much better place (for survival mode) than we were in the last big crypto winter. I'm working on that. Are you working on that??
