Ryan Taylor and Demelza Hays had a meeting about how the DIF can potentially use alternate approaches (e.g. options contracts) to diversify the DIF’s reserves. In pursuit of such methods, we have a meeting(s) scheduled within the next week to speak with a partner(s) who can potentially offer us these kinds of approaches.

Thank you, Ryan, for your continued personal efforts to assist the DIF.

Hmm, is that a new opportunity on the horizon?

Elsewhere, the DIF has decided that the opportunity offered by Company G is not attractive and we’ve ceased investigative efforts on that front accordingly.

Finally, Company H is still under review.

Note to the Dash network about equity deals:

We want to make sure you know that no one feels more pressure for the DIF to make an equity acquisition than we do. Our eagerness makes our consultant’s level-headed advice all the more needed (i.e. Demelza’s not up for re-election as a DIF supervisor!)

Please know that though we’re strongly incentivized to publicly “perform” — and have had over two dozen opportunities to do so at this point — we will not pursue deals we ultimately deem unattractive due to company financials, contractual details, market outlooks, regulatory risks, or any other red-flagged reasons.

In short, we won’t compromise the long-term financial viability of the DIF in order to gain short-term publicity and approval.

Thank you for your attention, support, and oversight.
