before 10 years is past money will be unrecognisable from todays perspective.
I disagree. I wish it were so, but it won't happen like that, if it happens at all.
I tried to buy a part of an electric car from a salvage yard in Georgia.
On his WEBSITE, he has a form I'm supposed to download. It's a .jpg scan of a piece of paper, embedded in a .pdf. It's a form to fill out with your name, address, SSN, and CC info. I'm supposed to print it out, fill it all in, then FAX or email it back to them.
As long as the majority is stupid, they'll vote against anything they can't understand. Remember, Cryptocurrency is Internet devil money for teh evilbad drugz and gunz!
The reason technology has proliferated is not rooted in understanding it, managing it responsibly, etc., but in handing off responsibility to Apple, Microsoft and Google. People have been handing off their money responsibilities for centuries earlier than that.
So people who install tons of spyware, then act like it's not their fault... Lose all their pictures of deceased loved ones after to 40th time their OS and Filesystems have become tragically corrupt... Never make backups. Never learn. Would rather shove it all into The Cloud, then complain about privacy and Big Brother... Yeah. Those people are totally going to suddenly grow up, learn everything they're refused to learn, and start taking responsibility for things their atrophied brains can't even comprehend. Sure.
Cryptocurrency is still flying under the radar of "Oh, that thing..." It's currently not taken seriously, so it's not a serious threat. Once cryptocurrency proves that it shold be taken seriously, it will be viewed as nothing more than a serious threat. Every government will portray it as a threat to it's fiat value; crypto is an attack on our economy! Venezuela is a perfect example. BTC and DASH are making inroads only because the powers that be don't grasp it and don't see it as a threat. Yet. Governments never fail to sabotage X, then blame something else and start a crusade to abolish whatever they're blaming. This will be the first time their ultimate weapon, money, will be marginalized by there being another option.
Those who fall for the propaganda will simply demand/vote to "save" their economy by banning the evilbad cryptocurrency.
Those living in the crypto echo-chamber don't realize that this hasn't happened yet. They think we're beyond it; that it already happened and we've moved on. We haven't. The overwhelming majority of the population of the planet has no idea what Cryptocurrency is, and will believe whatever their owners tell them when the time comes.
This is one of the reasons why it is so desperately important to get DASH into retail. The sooner we can tangibly and visibly be part of normal, every day life, the more difficult becomes the task of demonizing it with lies and propaganda. this is the only way to counteract propaganda and lies.
Take a page from Open Carry activists. Guns are only considered "bad" and "scary" because the story is one-sided, and controlled by those with an interest in keeping their cattle helpless and unarmed. This is one of the reasons why concealed carry is bad; out of sight, out of mind. You can look at guns from a historical perspective. The prevailing "guns are bad" attitude in most public minds is a result of lies and propaganda, and the de-normalization of a basic human right, now viewed as deviant even thought it's perfectly natural. Trying to re-normalize that after it is lost is a monumental uphill battle.
It has to be visible to do any good. Gun Rights were lost in most of the world because guns became invisible, owners encouraged to hide them for fear of scorn/abuse/violence from activists. It then became abnormal. Once the footing was lost, it no longer was a mere social problem, but it became part of government and law. Now only those few willing to fight back against that Open Carry in the very few places left on Earth where it is "allowed." The same thing is happening to Free Speech in many part of Europe now, and has been the norm on most of Asia since forever... Anything not commonly visible can easily be labeled deviant, because nobody sees anything but the propaganda. Nothing in their daily lives counters the lies as living proof that the lies are lies.
Don't let DASH end up in that position. You stay say out in front instead of losing and having to fight back uphill... Retail use is visibility. It's "Open Carry." It's proof that DASH is not deviancy. You can see it and use it every day, and it's not bad. Once that visibility is lost, and a prevailing attitude against it is formed... You're fucked.
