Agree with most of that except the opening. Dash is nothing like Monero and not trying to be.

You are absolutely right:
Monero is decentralized, fairly distributed, without a premine, and truly private.

Dash is none of those.

But this is a bitcoin thread. I am probably one of the biggest proponents of Monero, but in here I stick to BITCOIN. Monero is one of the VERY few actually decentralized altcoins with utility. It will survive as a child of BTC along with Litecoin, and... and... well there *could* be no others.

How do people send bitcoin over email these days? You used to be able to use blockchain.info or coinapult to send bitcoin to newbies back in the day but blockchain.info appears to have removed the option and coinapult appears to be no longer supported.

My grandma is 93 years old, and she was asking me about Bitcorn the other day. That was a bit surprising.

Tell her to buy and hodl!

Something is cooking. Might be a good year for bitcoin. Google trends shows not much interest but I am very bullish.

Just some interesting things I am looking at today.

Have not tried this but it might be something to look into.

Basing current BTC futures on historical data is a mistake, futures Markets and institutional investment has changed the trajectory to the point all that data is irrelevant. If I had the capitol I would be using that data as traps so i'd assume they are.

I have trouble believing 9% of the US population owns crypto.

That’s 30 million people. Coinbase has 11 million active users including a large proportion of foreign users. So maybe 9 million US users which is 2.7% of the population and instinctively feels more realistic.

This might be your culprit:

internet-connected respondents

A lot of rural and older people don't really use the internet. Same with children, and I doubt the indigent are responding to surveys like these. How they define "internet-connected respondents" must inflate the numbers; it sounds like a more tech-savvy crowd than average. I saw a recent survey that said 5% of the U.S. population owns some cryptocurrency. Even that sounds like too much.

Some of the stats are accurate however. Such as women and men in Asia more equally holding crypto and knowledge of.
I still find studies like this interesting even if the results are skewed. One thing for sure... its a growing space!

Those stats are pure bullshit. Not a chance 50% of the world is knowledgeable about crypto. Only a small percentage of woman are into crypto, which just about destroys that stat.
I would guess less than 2-5% of North Americans could explain what Bitcoin public and private keys are and how they are used. I would consider that topic crypto 101.

They surveyed 29,000 people from all over the world who are internet connected. That's actually considerably more than the average survey but still a pitifully small spread. A significant proportion of Americans probably believe the internet harbours Satan.

I've never understood why anyone pays attention to surveys unless they personally visit every single person in the country. Pollsters can kiss my silky buns too.

Dash is a bad imitation of monero and I do believe having a transparent blockchain is a good thing.

As long as you don't make any public claims that you own the address you really own, nobody can know it that you really own it. In that way bitcoin is semi-anonymous and it is both government friendly and not at the same time. Whether if people prefer to stay anonymous or not, the decision belongs to them.

It is just like creating a facebook page. You can put your real information on the platform or you can create a complete fake one with lulzy information. There is a choice and I like it. (not fb obviously, fuck suckerberg)

How long until BTC ATMs reach page count parity here?

Around 3 years at current growth rate (for both ATM's and WO pages). But the ATM growth rate is increasing too.

If you can be anything, be kind and fair

Can we put the dash trash to rest. It will die a natural slow dead in the years ahead. With the aid of the masternodes the unfortunate early mining mishap amounts to 5 million coins by now.
Lets focus on cryptos positives and the fact that Bitcoins coin emission in 2024 is about 0.8% and continue to half every 4 years.
Dash's metrics are such that at that time i still emits high 3,xx% and as such is pure rat poison from 2020 onwards.
Loosing more than 3% of your wealth per year is has no future considering with fiat, ripple, stellar you "only" loose 2,xx% and with dogecoin less than that.
Its a joke of a cryto and cant even withstand a simple toothpick attack.

In Bitcoin land things will escalate very fast after next 1-2 halving s..
