Another controversy surrounds the consolidation of masternodes, which is the governance methodology used by Dash. Some fear that a deep-pocketed whale will come along and buy up all the nodes and either crash the system or dominate its voting. 

As a result of that concern Dash forked and Pivx was born, which mitigates masternode consolidation through something called the "see-saw" mechanism. Pretty brilliant. 

I bought Dash because of @thedashguy when I first started here on Steemit, but definitely went further in at USD 27. Evolution is what tipped me over into investing more. 

I also bought Pivx because it answered the very question I had when I learned about masternodes. I don't really believe masternode consolidation will be a problem, but I don't mind hedging my bets. Pivx is up .10 cents since I got some. 

But I still have Steemit to thank for introducing me to the world of crypto. We need an Evolution-like product for this platform to make it the easiest to use crypto social network. 

Finally, did you read Charlie Shrem's proposal for a Dash Debit card? I'm suspecting it passes.
