The Dash Core Group decided to join EEA because it is the most extensive enterprise oriented blockchain industry group. Several potential business partners recommended or requested that we join the organization, and Dash can complement Ethereum projects by improving the payment options available for enterprise use. We actually already have projects underway which leverage both the Dash and Ethereum blockchains simultaneously to deliver a service. Beyond the connections we can make through EEA, we believe Dash can both contribute and learn from the open source technology development taking place with the EEA.

From a personal standpoint, the benefits of blockchain are already being realized across countless verticals. The EEA is an essential connector of enterprises, startups, and innovators in the space, and has become the world’s largest open source blockchain initiative. While Ethereum becomes the blockchain platform of choice for enterprise-focused smart contracts, Dash is the leading digital currency focused on payments, which we view as highly complementary.

So Dash sold out to the bankers...great...

I still love the technology behind Dash, but you won't see me cheering for this. You all need to understand banks don't invest in anything they don't think they can make a monopoly from.

This is very frustrating, I honestly don't know of a single blockchain project not ran by bankers behind the curtains anymore.
