The visionaries bought Dash a long time ago. And we've now got the very smart people on board. Next up will be the smart money, and that will take us over one billion market cap. After that the dummkopfs pile in and that takes us to ten billion.
Just have to wait.
Why in the world would you call later adopters dummkopfs? Not everyone is into trading! Trading requires taking risks - big risks at many levels. The higher price of Dash, prices in the fact that the coin has achieved it's goals and is getting closer and closer to being truly user ready. When it actually can serve the common folk and merchants without flaw, the high price will be deserved. And people will pay it because it will save them money over the fiat fiasco option. People holding Dash, or most any surviving crypto that offers service will most likely see a slow but steady rise in their buying power as well.
I've held on to my coins since the beginning, and even traded for a few once the idea of Masternodes came out based on a hunch and the fact that I liked Evan and his red hair, LOL. He seemed to have vision and drive, and I hadn't been with crypto long enough to develop a good sense of skepticism. Basically, I was a gambling fool from everyone I knew's point of view. And maybe I was, maybe my instincts are something to follow? I don't know!
But waiting for a project to prove itself to the point where you are comfortable in investing, even when the initial investment is much higher, does not make a person a dummkopf, in my opinion. They undoubtedly make more money in the long run than people who invest on all kinds of high risk things. And people that don't take risk at all, but simply become users because the tools offer more than fiat, well, they're also not fools, but rather the salt of the earth that makes this world turn. They WORK for their money and I have the deepest and highest respect for our future end users. Thus, we must continue to make Dash the best service the world has ever seen. And there are plenty of hurdles to jump to get there, believe me! We still have our jobs cut out for us, and all of our own "alts" nipping at our heels. But unlike Bitcoin and their people, we're not afraid of our alts nipping at our heels, we're thankful for them because they'll keep us honest and competitive and if they come up with a solution that helps solve an issue, we'll be thankful and put it into Dash, because, unlike Bitcoin, we CAN!
