I'm kind of obsessive with fundamentals.

Quoting The Revenant - Movie: When there is a storm, and you stand in front of a tree, if you look at it's branches, you swear it will fall, But if you watch the trunk, you will see it's stability.

I'm a fan of efficiency and I consider 3 factors that should decide who gets a say:
#1 Technocracy - Who are already good at their game. Eg: @haejin

#2 Meritocracy - Growth potential/self-development/learning and proving themselves capable Eg: The Big Short guys from the movie

#3 Skin in the game.

I don't give a damn about decentralization. I want the highest level of performance. If decision makers fulfill above criteria they will produce results. Results is what I care about.

You need 1000 Dash or 10,000 PIVX for a masternode. There is incentive for them to be good decision makers. So they either already good or they learn or they burn. Plus the community will keep a keener eye since the masternodes have their perks.

Dash and similar systems has no risk of growing into a tragedy of the commons. Please read the following article: https://www.dashforcenews.com/bitcoin-disincentivizes-community-harmony/
