 I can see lazy Masternodes being a problem if Dash is being used by millions of people, making Masternodes costly to operate. However, this is simply something that the development team can fix in the future; it’s not a showstopper problem. And with the core team’s development track record and Dash’s ability to upgrade, I’m confident it can do so before it becomes a significant problem.

Pros

Strength of Dash is its core team. I have great confidence in many members of the core team, including Evan Duffield, Ryan Taylor, Andy Freer, Holger Schinzel, moocowmoo, Fernando Gutierrez, Robert Wiecko, and others. That doesn’t mean I think the core team is perfect (they’ll come up again, under “weaknesses”). But it’s a strong team that has proven to be effective at delivering innovations.

Cons

Another Dash weakness is the Business Development part of the core team. I don’t want to bash individuals here, but the actions of the Business Development team have not inspired my confidence. There have been too many failed projects, and a great deal of wasted money backing those projects. Further, the team has spent too much time and too many resources on relationships with exchanges and other businesses, rather than channeling resources toward actual usage of the currency in the real world.
