To be honest I don't really understand why Dash is so popular. I will read all the post and maybe then I understand it 
I mean I understand the private and anonymous part but is there something else I disregarded so far?
There are several anonymous coins out there but I don't really see the special use case about it. Ok it's more private and you can hide your identity
but why is that so important if you have nothing to hide? I don't really get it. But it seems to be very important for many people out there otherwise the marketcap would
not be that high I guess.

Lets see :
* very very low fees
* fast transactions
* 8x capacity to handle transactions on its network in comparison to Bitcoin
* 2MB blocksize increase voted upon, approved and now implemented without much fuss.
* optional privacy on its transactions
* optional instant transactions
* decentralized governance and budget system (with a monthly budget now of $4,000,000 as Dash budget increases when Dash price increases)
Dash is funding budget proposals through its budget system, these are voted upon by the masternode owners and approved when such budget proposal gives a clear benefit to Dash

This means that Dash has a very powerfull tool available to promote its name and create and expand its own eco-system, one of the more important budget proposals that passed
will integrate Dash as leading payment provider in the cannabis industry. The impact this could have on both Dash and the cannabis industry, should not be underestimated.

Dash is also expanding its presence in other countries which have a large unbanked population, Dash goal is ultimately to function as peer-to-peer cash system that Satoshi orginally
intended for Bitcoin, while also providing users with certain services normally associated with central banks (arranging payment transactions, providing good support).
Key difference is that everything will be under control by the user, they will be their own bank.
