Dash to speak and exhibit at the 3rd Latin American Bitcoin Conference - Mexico



We are very excited to announce that we will be speaking and exhibiting at the, highly renowned, 3rd Latin American Bitcoin Conference
this December in Mexico City. Last year the event took place in Rio de Janeiro. Past speakers of this event include Erik Vorhees,
Andreas Antonopolus, Tony Gallipi and many others important members of the industry.

Please check the details at: www.labitconf.com

At laBITconf Dash will be an exhibitor with its own booth. We will be presenting Dash to business representatives, industry experts
and potential end users, and giving an update about Evolution as we prepare for the Miami keynote. We will be sponsoring a booth
to exhibit Dash and talk directly to as many people as possible.

Anyone from the community that is able to come out and help with the conference please let us know on the forums or Slack.
See you in Mexico!

You do understand that DASH also has 2 currencies on the network? The mixed coins and the unmixed coins.
It's pretty obvious that DASH has fungibility issues. You need default mixing to solve this.

Thanks to Greg Maxwell's Confidential Transactions, Bitcoin will have better privacy

Currently we’re investigating the name “Dash”

Dash Rebrand was first annonced March 12 and produced that rally you like to show the top of. It opened a lot of opportunity for the project. The whole altcoin market is unstable but Dash is still up in USD value from earlier this month.

I'm not sure demonizing doe-eyed Chinese Bitcoin investors' shiny new assets is the best way to attract them.  You don't want to scare them all the way back to fiat.  

Rather, the strategic thing to do right now would be to get them keen on diversifying their crypto portfolios without implying bitcoin is a risky investment compared to alts.

They already like bitcoin, but it is a safe, one-trick pony. When they get bored they'll be on the hunt for something "different" (not less risky) than bitcoin which offers more features and better short-term growth potential.  

Lulls in bitcoin growth might be better times to promote Dash's long-term prospects by highlighting bitcoin's drawbacks, as this is most likely when investors start reevaluating their long-term positions. Its lack of full-node incentives, transaction speed limits, fungibility problems and impotent governance means bitcoin's long term future as a singularly powerful end-user world currency is uncertain. When investors are thorougly convinced that bitcoin really works now, but question its future adequacy as an ideal money for everybody--that's the time when Dash's superior monetary properties and killer features will become very attractive to them.

Anyway, I think bitcoin is still the gateway into alts I would not want to make new investors feel that bitcoin is unsafe. Dash still needs to ride its coattails for a while.  In the meantime, we should be promoting dash's features in the light of "if you think Bitcoin is great, you'll LOVE Dash," and be careful not to stray too far to an image that says "bitcoin will collapse, you should sell it all and buy Dash."
