Icebreaker, I haven't heard back from you. The 0.25 DASH I donated to the Monero dev team last year ($1 at the time) is now worth $19.25. Since you never were able to de-anonymize it, I'd really like a refund.
Icebreaker has scammed many newbies over the years, advising them not to buy Dash. He should be sued by them. And now, as a shady after-sales service man, he won't give your 0.25 DASH back, even if he sold you a promised PrivateSend deanonymization, you naive customer.
Just a tongue-in-cheek reminder that we've increased in value 20-fold since January of last year, despite his assurances that PrivateSend is "broken."
So when is the party going to be over. A month or two from now?
My opinions, not financial advice!:
Not for many many years. We have an entire world's worth of fiat to conquer. Seriously, if you're just skeptical, do yourself a favor and research Dash. Then think on it, it's built with game theory, economics, cryptography, and logic. It works like a well oiled machine because of all the thought that went into it. Then look at the fact that it's self governing and self budgeted, no centralized authority can take it over, due to control of the mining or the developers. Then look at the talent in our team, our 40+ person "core team" Our hundreds of volunteers.
Then read Hayek on the idea of currency competition
https://mises.org/library/denationalisation-money-argument-refined) he wrote that before the idea of computer money could happen. Yet, it explains how this was the only way out of badly managed money by centralized governmental institutions. On top of that, it's also the best way we the people will get the Government to SERVE the people rather than enslaving the people. Without this revolution, the free western world as we knew it, or think we still live in today, will be gone forever.
Yes, the price will go up for many many years, and when that ends, and fiat is destroyed, it will go up and down against all the other crypto currencies it competes against. As it should be. Good money will out
OK, so make sure you understand that THESE ARE MY OPINIONS and not to be construed as financial advice. Though researching couldn't hurt you, unless your head explodes
