Changing the path of the discussion, can we consider DASH as an elite currency? At the present time it is a relative issue where some opt for the elite and others choose to be only a solid currency of strong community. However in relation to the charts we find a strong upward trend, and the question is, can we buy DASH and expect to go to the moon by the end of this year?
I think you can consider Dash an elite currency in the sense that it has evolved (and still is evolving) from a mostly privacy focussed cryptocurrency to a multi-use crypto platform (privacy, instant transactions, dapi, useraccounts, decentralized apps).
The technology behind this (Dash Evolution) will make Dash more elite. Within Dash itself there are also elite elements : masternodes, asic miners, governance, budget, sentinel.
Dash vision however is clearly focussed on being used by the masses (meanstream adoption). With regards to Dash going to the moon by the end of this year (or as i prefer to say : reaching and passing its current ATH),
nobody knows the future and it pretty much depends on if you trust Dash core-team to deliver what they set out to do and if you have faith in Dash as a cryptocurrency to overcome a bear market in time.
Seems some have more faith then others
