Dionysus and Midas were never enemies, Midas was in fact favored by Dionysus twice - once for granting his wish, and the second time in telling Midas how to rid himself of it.
It was said after King Midas touched his daughter with his golden touch she turned into a gold statue. He was stricken with grief when he couldn't find any way to relieve her. He preached to Dionysus - who had given him his powers - who told him of the way to be rid of his powers. He told Midas to wash in the river Pactolus. Midas did so, and when he touched the waters, the power flowed into the river, and the river sands turned into gold. This explained why the river Pactolus was so rich in gold, and the wealth of the dynasty claiming Midas as its forefather no doubt the impetus for this etiological myth.
It is most likely said by Bacchus (Greek: Dionisyius) in the Midas story, for Midas was extremely sad because of the things that happened, and Bacchus (for it was a roman story, therefore using his latin name) most likely asked that and then told him how to get rid of the gift.
When Dionysus tells Midas that if he washes his hands under water, everything that he turned into gold would turn back to normal. The curse would go away too.

There is not such a curse in Egyptian myth.
It is most likely said by Bacchus (Greek: Dionisyius) in the Midas story, for Midas was extremely sad because of the things that happened, and Bacchus (for it was a roman story, therefore using his latin name) most likely asked that and then told him how to get rid of the gift.
There isn't one. Midas was mortal; his golden touch a gift/curse from Dionysus.
In Greek legend Midas was a King who was granted any reward by the God Dionysis for a good deed Midas had done. Midas asked that anything he touched should be turned to gold and was given that power. Only then did Midas realise he would starve to death and asked to be relieved of the power. In modern days if we say someone has the Midas touch we mean that everything they do is successful or profitable.
The phrase "the blessing became a curse" often refers to the myth of King Midas from Greek mythology. Midas was granted the ability to turn everything he touched into gold, which initially seemed like a great blessing. However, this gift quickly turned into a curse when he realized he could not eat or drink, as even food and water turned to gold. Ultimately, Midas learned that his greed and desire for wealth led to profound personal suffering, illustrating the dangers of unchecked desire.
When Dionysus tells Midas that if he washes his hands under water, everything that he turned into gold would turn back to normal. The curse would go away too.
