my favorite part:

I got into Dash because I got bored of the false claims we were ALL making about Bitcoin such as private, fast, instant, decentralized and beyond... And while Dash doesn't solve all of these painpoints for me it's a step in the right direction, so I jumped in 8 months ago, and quickly have become one of the more "popular" folks in the crowd,

you know what, i can identify with you because you seem to push the envelope and get really excited about stuff. I get overly enthused about some things, and this happened with steemit in the beginning (for obvious reasons like the over-the-top payouts...I mean who wouldn't lose their shit when they got $1367 for one post????)
I get excited, then devastated by the fact that humans have not evolved very much. A group of people can ruin the most elaborate, advanced invention in a matter of seconds due to greed. This is kind of where we are at as a species, unfortunately. The same problems can be found everywhere, even in here. There is no utopia.
