Dear DASH community,
We would like to bring to your attention a project that will help in large-scale adoption of DASH by society. To turn it into reality, we are going to use one of the most effective ways – popularization with a spectator sport. The idea is to create the DASH community’s own beach soccer team and within three seasons to win the prizes of the main European club tournament EURO WINNERS CUP which will be watched by more than 1 000 000 spectators. The number of people who will see the DASH team on sand during three seasons on stadiums, TV & Internet could be estimated only roughly: we believe that 5,000,000 spectators are a very modest assessment.
Why beach soccer?
Beach soccer is one of the most spectator and dynamic sports that probably will soon be included in the program of the Summer Olympic Games. Like cryptocurrencies, it is young and develops rapidly. It combines the big football show and atmosphere of the holiday that reigns on the greatest sandy beaches of the world: Copacabana, Ibiza, Miami Beach. At the same time, beach soccer does not need huge investments that big football requires.
When we hear "energy drink", most of us imagine a can of Red Bull although there are many other drinks. Why? The answer is simple – this one is famous due to sport. We can do the same for DASH. DASH will become a world class team. We believe this exceptional event will significantly change the degree of popularity and adoption of DASH by society. It will allow to show the uniqueness of DASH to people. Indeed, where else could you find a decentralized payment system that can create its own professional sports club?

Also, two promotional videos allowing to take a look at the sport are below:
Who are we and why us?
I, Roman Zheltukhin, and my colleagues are sports managers from St.-Petersburg, Russia. In 2011, we invited young guys who just graduated from football schools of St.-Petersburg and created a beach soccer team called "KEYSTONE LOGISTICS".
Developing with a very meager budget (none of the players got a salary), the team quickly entered the professional level and took the 3rd place in the qualification of the Russian Championship 2012. We lost the game only against the future finalist – "KRISTALL" (http://www.beachsoccer.ru/tourn/tournament161/teams/team348/).
In 2013, "KEYSTONE LOGISTICS" won the international tournament Open Beach Soccer League 2013 Winter, having beaten, in the final, the future Russian champion 2013 – the same "KRISTALL" (http://www.beachsoccer.ru/tourn/tournament186/tables/league111/).
That event was the highest achievement of our team yet it became its last day as well: the team fell apart because the Russian leading clubs offered our guys such good contracts we could not offer.
Below is the picture taken right after the tournament, you can see "KEYSTONE LOGISTICS", the coach of the Russian national team Mikhail Likhachev and me, Roman Zheltukhin, on it.
In just two seasons and almost without funding, a successful team was created from young amateurs and it became a great danger to the best professional clubs of Russia.
Much more could have been done with sufficient funding. After all, "KRISTALL" is now one of the leading clubs of Europe.
It should also be noted that Russia is a two-time world champion, and three players of "KEYSTONE LOGISTICS" are now playing in the Russian national team, namely Viktor Kryshanov, Nikolai Kryshanov and Maxim Rogovskii (http://www.beachsoccer.com/teams/Russia).
Pictures of these guys playing in T-shirts of "KEYSTONE LOGISTICS" can be seen below:
Due to our experience, we do not doubt our professionalism and ability to create a successful club that can fight for the top places in EURO WINNERS CUP. The win in that tournament shall be the main goal for the DASH team for the next three years.
If you like the idea, let me move from the past to the future and submit the plan of the DASH team’s development.
The plan of the DASH team’s development.
Since the way of any beach soccer club to the top lines of the world rating is impossible without belonging to some nationality, the club's development plan implies competing under the flag of Russia until the team achieves the level that allows to participate in EURO WINNERS CUP. We choose Russia to launch the team because here is our home and one of the best beach soccer schools in the world. Also, the Russian Championship gathers the strongest players from all over the world.

When the three-year plan is successfully carried out, the DASH community will be able to move to a new level and arrange its own tournaments which will gather the strongest clubs in the world. For example, now there is no World Club Beach Soccer Championship and DASH could fill this emptiness in and launch the DASH WORLD WINNERS CUP.
We have formed the detailed budget for realizing the three-year plan and would like to introduce it to you:
In order to carry out the above tasks in time, the budget for 2018 should be released by two payouts: 1,300,000 USD until February 10, 2018 and 992,458.80 USD until June 10, 2018.
The budgets for 2019 and 2020 are indicative and should be specified and agreed by the DASH community in December 2018 and 2019 respectively.
Friendly, Roman Zheltukhin
