its a scam who cares
noobs should do homework before posting more spam about this pariah of a shitcoin
What is a scam? Do you mean dash is a shit coin?
Yes that is exactly what mean.
Enter dash in the search box on this sub forum and enjoy the wealth of abundant evidence demonstrating in black and white how the scumbags captive instamined 500 dash blocks every few seconds whilst proclaiming fair launch.
Proven scam invest in PIVx far better.
Yes, I have seen lots of scam accusations against DASH. Also, this coin seems to not provide what devs claim to be its best feature: privacy.
It looks there's not a so big difference between Bitcoin transactions and DASH transactions, regarding privacy. So I think it could be considered as false advertising. Yet I never sent a transaction using DASH, so I don't know it from my own experience.
About speculation, it looks to be very bullish at the moment. But if you look at the charts, it had a very similar pump at the beginning of March, followed by a dump. Maybe it will follow this trend once again.
Yep, a lot of scam accusations from crypto holders who invested in competing projects, like Monero. Scam accusations does not define a cryptocurrency, facts define a cryptocurrency. Fact is that Dash put a lot of time and effort into
developing this cryptocurrency, so that it can be used as Satoshi once saw Bitcoin used : a peer to peer digital cash system.
With Dash that means :
* Fast transactions
* Cheap fees
* Decentralized Governance and Budget System
* Optional privacy on its transactions (its privacy has never been broken)
* Optional instant transactions
* Rewards for running masternodes
The optional privacy with Dash is done through decentralized mixing by setting a certain amount to mix and a certain number of rounds, this makes it very very difficult to trace the transaction back to its original sender (it obfisquates the trail through the blockchain) and is a
huge difference from Bitcoin which is lacking privacy and where people who do want privacy for their Bitcoin transactions are driven to use centralized mixers.
You are correct that with any pump there will most likely be a dump, but when you look at the charts longterm you will notice that Dash has been steadily increasing its price and marketcap over the years and is not likely to fall back to a much lower marketcap.
Longterm strategy is what this cryptocurrency is all about.
To OP : i dont know about $1000 by january 2018 but i do know that 2018 will be a very interesting year for Dash, with many important budget proposals that asked Dash for funding (and got funded) coming to fruition.
