Not something else. Dash wants to be a digital currency. A cash system. Monero wants to be a privacy coin. That's a big difference. Dash is not aiming to be a privacy coin. It just offers such a feature as an additon that you can use or not.
There is no monero dash fight. That impression comes from the number of people comparing the privacy aspect of both coins creating wrong impression that the two coins play on a same level somehow which they do not. And there are the constant monero trolls resitant we have which like to post monero in dash for eighter their personal relief or for monero advertising. Dash do not care a bit about monero. It is one sided. You should be clear about what you invest in.
Yes I am aware of that, but I am also aware that Dash has effectively a faulty privacy system, yet it's been promoted, at least in the past as a privacy coin. Literally it was named dark-coin in the past.
I was pointing out that that is a little bit dishonest, Dash has very weak privacy, and promoting it as a privacy coin is dishonest and misleading potential privacy demanding users.
Monero has a central point of failure, which is it's encryption scheme, which might turn out one day to be weak, being deanonymized by QC or a crypto bug.
Still, despite that, Monero still has a better privacy, and a lower risk probability. So if you want privacy go to Monero.
I just want to make money at this point so I bought both. I think Dash has a great potential to get into the top 5.
It will probably be a fight between BCH and DASH.
Dash privacy on itself is not weak, nor does it have a faulty system. It does have a somewhat time-consuming process, because it depends on finding people to mix their input amounts with but that does not mean its privacy tech is weak or faulty.
This means that Dash had every right to promote itself as a privacy coin in the past and nowadays can promote itself as a platform on which to run several services (including but not limited to : privacy).
I suspect your beliefs and your information about Dash privacy tech and how it functions exactly, are somewhat influenced by your Monero invested background.
Hell, Monero did not even have a solid and safe privacy tech, untill after their large update somewhere early last year. If any coin should not have been promoting themself as safe and strong privacy coin, its Monero during the first two years.
