You, a troll? Absolutely not. Thanks for the comparison!
Downtrend is a fact in most currencies. Dash is no exception.
The good news is that devs and all the team are working hard to reverse it:
State of the UnionThere are many things happening at the same time, I guess Dash is finally growing in a way were different groups of people are working on independent projects that together will help realize our vision. These are just a few examples of things Dash is working on:
1. Implementing project management processes based on Scrum for communication, development, quality control, etc.
2. New partnerships with recognized companies in the crypto sphere.
3. Decentralized governance mechanism and first provable blockchain based voting system.First to encourage participation by stake holders in development and promotion projects for Dash. But this mechanism has a lot of potential to help establish structures for management of any decentralized organization.
4. Animated introductory video about Dash to be distributed to publications outside of the crypto forums.
5. Preparing a potential online media campaign to be presented to the community assembly once the governance project is in place.
6. Mobile wallets with InstantX and Darksend support in both Android and iOs
7. Bitcore multisig library support, important for many projects and partnerships that are on the works.
8. Video guides to help people do many things, setting up wallets, encrypting, keeping your coins safe, etc. And soon setting up masternodes and other more advanced things. All to be found on Dash youtube channel.
9. Updating and building the new official wiki with Jira and Confluence.
10. Development of v12 with many improvements in efficiency and removing the reference node.
11. New official Chinese mandarin
www.dashpay.io site to be launching soon after the russian and spanish versions were a success.
This is not an official list, just the things that come to my mind right now, that we are working on. There are more things to come this year but this is more or less the state of the union right now. Although like I said I may be missing some things as there are many smaller groups working on things now and is getting harder to keep up with everything that is happening at the same time. Anyway I think that my list covers a good percentage of what is going on.
