This is the biggie for me, the thing that makes a place in the top 5 cryptos well and truly justified and I think it could be capitalised on way more as a means of promoting Dash to a much wider audience.
Within this community we know what crypto has to offer but the wider and more general audience only really sees a new type of paypal, we see the potentially revolutionary changes that programmable money can bring but we see very few of those changes actually happening and I think turning those concepts into realities could be a very powerful tool for Dash promotion.
I'm not really suggesting anything with this, more just writing out a train of thought and seeing where it goes. Coming up with new ideas can be challenging but once they're out there its often easy to see how they can be improved and seeing how digital cash could improve services with a wide audience could lead to an awful lot of uptake. So far that's been slow to take off, users making requests to a company to accept crypto (from which its usually converted to fiat), vendors jumping on the crypto hype cycle (again, to fiat) and a relatively small number that make innovative stuff happen because they believe in crypto.
In my opinion that last area is one worth funding, seeing the innovative opportunities that go towards creating a genuine crypto economy and making them happen, not waiting for someone to see a golden opportunity and work towards it but to place the whole thing wrapped up and ready to go in their hands and have them laughing all the way to funds on a secure private key.
Who, what and where is another story and each of us can probably see half a dozen of them but I'd focus more on the supply end of things, areas where the outgoing expenses are mainly hours of labour with low fiat expenditure. Crypo's already made some headway into things like market gardens and imo that's an ideal area, directly connecting supplier and producer for organic foods, wines, coffee tea, beer, wine, forestry, quarrying, self sufficient communities etc etc. Deliveries and logistics are a prime target but they're secondary, the energy that fuels them would be the holy grail but that may be a bit ambitious
What kind of things can crypto do in these areas to make a significant difference? Group buys for small scale producers could be a big one and a marketplace to enable the direct connection between supplier and customer could make a huge difference but its hard to see a clear course on that one, maybe a solid and maintained global directory of individuals that will accept Dash could be a stepping stone towards that? Idk but crypto will change the world and we're in a prime position to make those changes happen.
