One of the biggest adoption problems that Dash faces is the chicken/egg problem - merchants won't bother with dash unless their customers have it, and customers don't want it if merchants don't accept it. If we want dash adoption, we have to get it to merchants and customers at the same time, along with a compelling value proposition.Alternative festivals provide the perfect opportunity because they bring merchants and customers together at the same time for a singular event.Currently there are two proposals outstanding for Dash to sponsor two alternative festival-type events:Circus CitySkatopiaBoth proposals include an education/help component that gets dash into the hands of customers and teaches merchants how to accept dash. By sponsoring events such as these, the Dash MN network can sweeten the value proposition by funding discounted dash that can be distributed and spent at the festival, creating a sort of pop-up crypto-currency economy that can live beyond the events themselves.With the mainstream cash economy slowly slipping away, alternative arts and festivals are finding it more difficult to make their way. Dash -- digital cash -- can step in and rebuild those marginal economies that support all those "alts" that enrich our lives on the fringe of society.
