DASH

I remember when DASH was up there too.

The only thing driving BTC is it's cult following, as far as tech goes it's rubbish compared to LTC, ETH, ADA, DASH etc... The vast majority of people buying BTC don't even really know what it is they're buying and certainly haven't a clue about blockchain, smart contracts, DAO. BTC just gets all the limelight because it's the original. As far as market cap, not sure what you mean by that, currently BTC is about $1.7tn, all those other coins have way more room to move if BTC is the guage. As far as these "old coins" being useless, firstly they're newer than BTC secondly all crypto is technically useless, none has any intrinsic value. The big investors could just as easily switch to buying up all LTC and suddenly LTC wo ld be the new BTC all it wold need is a big move to hit socal media and the tide would turn.

\-->Taking a snapshot of the chainstate every 5 days sounds like an awful solution. Stop calling things awful with out explaining why. Honestly, it works pretty amazing and uses minimal computing resources. Quit fudding with no evidence. I guess you like you coins trusted by a 3rd party. \--> Mike Hearn wrote a smart contracts platform for BTC called Lighthouse in 2014/15. So has it been implemented? Is it being used? Was it fully on chain like ETH and Cardano? 10 years ago and nothing. \-->You say Cardano will be a smart contracts layer for Bitcoin, well that hasn't happened for 7 years, and loads of other chains wrap millions of dollars in BTC in one way or another. Yes because it was not on the roadmap until recently. Nobody said 7 years ago this was going to be done. There are multiple entities building into this and will be completely trust-less. Yes other 3rd party bridges wrap tokens but you are trusting 3rd party entities, where a few people hold the keys, and can get away with no accountability. Did you notice how many bridge hacks there are? Do you like your funds being stolen? Do you like trusting 3rd parties? \-->Any turing complete smart contract patform can to pretty much anything in terms of token distribution, that is part of the security issues with them. No idea what you are trying to say here. \-->Predicting costs of transactions is always going to be a funcction of how much an L1 blockchain is used and how scallable it is. By defnition this is unpredictable. Well no. Cardano is based on TX size, so the cost is predictable and it is L1. Are you even listening? \-->Dash Masternodes created the first DAO and treasury with the governaance model you described precisely, created by Evan Duffield and copied by CH. Maybe inspiration from it, but not the code not. Even if it did there is not issue with copying a good idea. That is part of the reason to open source. Cardano seems to do a lot more with governance. Dash may of been first, but Cardano built it better. |**Feature**|**Cardano**|**Dash**| |:-|:-|:-| |Universal voter participation|✅ All ADA holders|❌ Only masternodes (1,000 DASH)| |Smart contract platform|✅ Yes (Plutus)|❌ No| |Grant program (Catalyst)|✅ Yes, competitive and structured|⚠️ Limited, less structured| |Formal Constitution|✅ In progress (CIP-1694)|❌ No constitution| |dReps and committees|✅ Multi-role governance actors|❌ Single-layer governance| \-->If you love Cardano, I wish you luck genuinly, I just don't see value in it. I know you don't, you like your coins trusted with 3rd party entities and like reading non trustworthy fud. Cardano is for everyone and will change the world, maybe one day you can appreciate it, but you have to open your mind up a bit and understand things better.

i'm generally bullish on payment coins like LTC, BCH, XNO, XMR, and DASH because theyre the only ones that have organic supply and demand, so thats sum reverse fud for you

I used to mine DASH back in 2015-2016... If anyone still remember this shitcoin...

You lack a privacy coin. I suggest Zcash and/or DASH. Both USA based so ok w TRUMP 😂

Nope, exactly the same as always. Yesterday’s alts always did a slow death in the following run. Eg GLM, DASH, IOTA were all huge during the 2017 run, then they performed terribly in 2021. It’s the new alts that take their place. This time will be no different. We’re already getting signs of which ones will be the winners this time round (IP, BERA, OM etc.) If your bag made up of 2021 winners you will get rekt.

Bandoolou

For those saying alt season isn’t here… It’s already starting. Go onto KuCoin and look at some of the shite being pumped in there. 50%, 40% 30% gains on absolute trash. New ICOs pumping then dumping then pumping again. Fuck, even the president did one. Random alt picks suddenly popping into the top 100 (HYPE, IP etc). It is already beginning. If you’re new (past 4 years), and wondering why your bag isn’t moving, it’s because the alts from the previous season never perform well. There’s a graveyard of this stuff (IOTA, GLM, DASH). Things have started moving and we will see this explode over the next 24 months. Mark my words. Many will win and many will lose. Enjoy it while you can.

revzjohnson

Indeed price hasn’t caught up, but that’s also part of the nature of coins that actually work well for payments. And this is one of the reasons I believe Kaspa doesn’t have nearly the upside people think it does. Just ask LTC, BCH, XNO, XMR, DGB, DASH, ERGO, and others about that problem. And of course people will argue Kaspa is superior, but that’s subjective. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. For anyone looking for upside, Kaspa probably isn’t their ticket. XNO is still my pick. For anyone that cares about the tech, Kaspa and Nano are equally intriguing in my estimation.

Noobs holding Alts who believe they will recover need to understand that 99% of the time your Alt is never going to recover anywhere close to previous ATHs. The best the market offers is -40% to -60% from previous cycle ATHs in the next bullmarket. If you don't take generous offer, you are going to be holding back to -90% or -98%. Look at some of the most popular alts in the 2018 cycle, what they did in 2021 and where they are now: | | 2018 High | 2021 High | Today |:-----------|------------:|:------------:|:------------:| | IOTA | $5 | $2 | $0.30 | EOS | $19 | $10 | $0.73 | NEO | $185 | $110 | $13 | NEM | $1.50 | $0.70 | $0.02 | ZCASH | $880 | $300 | $40 | DASH | $1,400| $400 | $32 | NANO | $34 | $16 | $1 | OMG | $25 | $19 | $0.30

This I understand, but from an investment perspective, I don’t get why one would hold it longterm. What novelty does it offer? The only thing I've ever used XLM for was transferring coins between exchanges due to lower costs, and speed. This is a common sentiment and there are many other coins like ALGO or DASH that serves the same purpose. Im not trying to piss you all off, I’m just genuinely curious, but I see that people either don’t have a real answer or are scared to face this realization. Idk.

> Would you call that a bad move? I certainly wouldn't, it was the best trade in my life It's mostly shitcoin fiction though. Every shitcoiner claims: 1. they picked the right coins 2. they dumped at the top 3. bought at the bottom It is very difficult to get all 3 of those right and you are constantly checking the charts, trying to figure out the trends and sentiment. And every cycle top you see people saying the cycle is not over yet...January 2018 was huge altseason wait until January 2022.......then no no no, buy the dip Alts are now cheap when they still have -50% to fall so you are accumlulating at prices shitcoins may never reach next cycle, etc. Also, I was being kind listing those coins which are actually the successful ones. The list of coins changes a lot over time, with top coins dumping to kingdom come. BCH, NEM, IOTA, DASH, NEO, EOS, QTUM, NANO, OMG, STRATIS, etc were top 20 in 2018. They are all down -95% or more in USD value.

wojak42069

LTC, LINK, AVAX, UNI, MATIC, GRT. Potentially FIL and DASH too?

Curius_pasxt

Glad you make this post, checked my coin like DASH and the market cap stay the same ratio as in 2021 glad I pick the right coin

This is one of those topics that in general tends to be left up to the platform built on top of Hive itself. When I mentioned it here I know it's because there will be lots of people who would be willing to create sock accounts to scoop up rewards that will never be used again or that won't add anything meaningful to the conversation. But in the greater scope of crypto, multiple accounts/wallets may be a way that somebody manages their funds or assets, has identities that they use to interact with certain games, or just because they're organized in a particular way. The main mantra of Hive- and of course web 3 in general- is that you are in control of what you do, and no one can force you to make any specific action or use or take your assets for you or from you without your consent. In the wider scheme of Hive's social distribution of rewards, farming is definitely something that is looked down upon. Much like on parts of Reddit, when you create content people are able to up and down vote your post. At the end of the one week-long payout window, the blockchain takes a look at the value of the votes, and calculates whether or not a reward will be paid out. There are definitely people who create a ton of spam content in the hopes of driving rewards. One of the cool things about Hive is that a lot of the deterrent for this comes in the form of genuine community interaction. Many community members are on the lookout for spam, many communities are actively moderated and curated, and genuine engagement between people and building up the influence of your account means that you will likely begin to attract more rewards and have the ability to distribute more rewards yourself. Community members are fiercely protective of the protocol as a whole and much like any place that prioritizes real engagement, you will see a lot of discussion and interaction around this topic. It's not a get rich quick scheme as with any attention economy, so in general people who are only posting to farm flare out very early, where long-term users create bonds and friendships that actually end up creating links that can end up in rewards. Love, love, love that question about integration! Some really cool things are happening right now around pulling Hive identities into legacy sites... it doesn't always need to be about rewards integration, but simply about either reading or logging information to a blockchain that is globally available, fast and feeless to write to, and has immutable voluntary data recorded to it. Hive Keychain (one of our most widely adopted wallet software options, works like metamask except less janky and safer) Hive Auth and Hive Signer are all options with more coming that are easily integrated into pretty much any website and will allow someone to bring any of their Hive information, even if it's just their wallet address/username, to any website with key verified identity and one click login. There are also some really cool things happening around using our infrastructure to help other websites, crypto, and point systems distribute natively. A really exciting integration example right now is with Dash Pay and inLeo. You can post on Hive using inLeo's social site, and also actually help distribute $DASH while engaging in a way that's natural. It's a really cool option for creating loyal brand ambassadors, genuine communities around currencies and interests... you name it.

2018 was the worst bar none. Things literally went -95%. And we're not talking the cool off period, we're talking December 2018, the grind days, the 3k days. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/a5feaf/daily_discussion_megathread_december_12_2018/ This is the daily from that date. Take a look at screenshots from euphoria dates: - [December 17th, 2017](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20171217/) - [December 16th, 2018](https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20181216/) Eth down 90%. BCH down 95%. IOTA -92%, LTC -94%, DASH -95%, over and over and over, anything you looked was dead. Of course, that was the best buying periods too. The only ETH I bought was early 2019 (I thought it was too expensive in 2017) - I finished off my Vechain node then, ADA was $0.03, DOGE was 1/5th of a cent, so on and so forth. All that became big money in 2021. But look at those numbers and see what people are complaining about these days - Their alt goes down 20%, so what. That's a normal day in Crypto.

DMThecap

Interesting seeing all the dead coins on there. Forgot DASH was a thing.

biba8163

Out of 2,500+ coins in 2018, only 8 reached new ATHs in 2021. In 2021, most 2018 top 25 coins like IOTA, NEO, DASH, BCH, NEM, EOS, NANO pumped from making them down -90% to -65% and now those coins are back to -90% or worse again. For most of the coins today it probably isn't going to get a lot better than -75% or -60% previous ATHs -- and that's being optimistic. Most people are going to repeat the mistakes with the *SOON™, Altseason, 2025, Playing Out Exactly Like Last Cycle* narrative.

DASH 😵‍💫

OderWieOderWatJunge

Remember IOTA, DASH and NEM? They were in the Top 10 in 2017...

-Blue_Bull-

I've noticed a few dead coins from the last cycle gaining momentum, and obvious shilling by bag holders eager to finally break even and get out. TAO, DASH, EOS, RVN just to name a few. Obviously, people want to jump on meme coins and I understand the hype, I've been in crypto for a long time. But buying dead end projects is probably the most risky trade you could ever make in this space, and there's literally no reason to do it. Be careful.

Repins57

Here’s a list of the top 10 coins at the peak of the market in Jan 2018. Tell me, how many of these besides BTC and ETH performed well in 2021: 1. BTC 2. ETH 3. XRP 4. LTC 5. XMR 6. ETC 7. DASH 8. MAID 9. REP 10. XEM

How do you know there isn't manipulation? Here's a simple example we know of: https://v.redd.it/r5wg7r14hpbb1/DASH_1080.mp4?source=fallback

biba8163

- ADA is -20% of December 2017 price. Again, it's below 2017 price in 2024. - All the Hoskinson YouTube videos, Cardano hard forks, partnerships with African countries, etc make it seem like something is going on but it's below the price it was when it was an ERC-20 token with a whitepaper 7 years ago. - As a chain, Caradano has less activity when measured by daily active addresses than dead shitcoins from 2014 like DASH or failing new crypto projects from the last few years - As a digital asset, ADA has less interest in it and the fraction of the trading volume meme coins like DOGE, SHIB, PEPE, etc.

biba8163

5 years ago, BCH, LTC, EOS, BSV, XLM, LEO, DASH, TZOS were in the top 15. 5 years from now, the top 15 is going to look very different.

Yeah sure, I'm gonna load up on these future goldmines like BCH and DASH

soulstream4dayz

Wow LTC and DASH - must be coping hard since 2017… and BCH (really?)

ProfessorOfThought

It's only reasonable to buy altcoins that got a huge uptick in the last bullrun. Coins like LTC, DASH, BCH, COMP, MKR, ICP will melt faces again regardless of what you think of them as past glory! As for the new boys, sleep on FET, SOL, TAO at your own doom!

Bitcoin has failed so hard with lightning. DASH is the answer. I live off it with Bitrefill.

biba8163

> Do you prefer Less look at the options: 1. Do I prefer Bitcoin which is the only immaculate conception in crypto that was announced in mailing list with hundreds of thousands of subs, where the source code was publicly available for months before Bitcoin was launched, where the creator gave a gift to the rest of the world without taking profit and making money off his creation, where every every single person who received it has taken risk in capital, time and resources? 2. Or do I prefer a premined shitcoin where the creators created 100% of supply as a gift for themselves, to enrich themselves, now creating more tokens to make themselves even richer and will undoubtedly create even more tokens if they need more money? What kind of idiot would pick option B? > where its security budget will keep falling over the next century and eventually disappear Every shitcoin where the founders and developers keep printing and gifting themselves more supply have been pointing the the issuance reduction as a doomsday scenario since Alts were created. DASH shitcoiners used to say this was going to happen in the 2016 halvening or in 2020. BTC value increases have and will keep on having more of an impact than the reduction of subsidies to a point where all subisidy is removed. At the very worst, an increase in block size will increase fees collected if it becomes a security issue. And a protocol change would be made for security reasons not to make a centralized shitcoin founders richer.

> Cardano to become an open platform that seeks to provide economic identity to the billions ....sovereign wealth fund of 1.5bn ada valued at almost $500m today...to be used by and for every single one of the millions of members in the Cardano ecosystem The idea that Cardano is going to provide anything to billions or that there are millions of members using a Cardano ecosystem is as fictional as Charles Hoskinson's enrollment in a PhD program. Cardano is a ghost chain that has less activity, transactions and active addresses than DASH a dead shitcoin 2017/18 -- this is an undisputed fact. > long-term thinking vs. short term price fluctuations -> built to look at the world in terms of decades and centuries, Cardano ICO was 2015, 9 years ago. Almost a decade later, it is a ghost chain. They now want bagholders to wait centuries stringing them along with hopium. How is it that cryptos that arrived what seems like yesterday like Solana and even Algorand, Avalanche and every Ethereum L2 all have more activity than Cardano? The biggest crypto use case that is being adopted by the developing world is usage of stabelecoins for money movement and savings accounts to hedge inflating currencies. How is that cryptos that arrived what seems like yesterday like Solana and even every Ethereum L2 all have 10X to 100X the stablecoin volume and activity of Cardano? What the hell does Cardano even do besides hard forking and feeding bagholders hopium?

MARS from the old Terra / Luna is migrating to NEUTRON I am sharing this tweet that isn't mine just incase anyone here had some and needs to migrate it.

Uh, yeah, I bought QRK in 2014 LOL, bought XMR and DASH in 2016, bought IOTA in 2017, bought LINK in 2019. Sold at a reasonable profit, paid the taxes, and got done with it until 2021 and 2022 presented more opportunities - most of which turned out to be diddly squat. Still hanging on to some in the hope that they do well, but I don't have much, certainly not enough to make any meaningful changes to my life even if they 10x or 100x. But better to hold something than to be unhappy that I didn't later on.

ZEC and DASH abandoned their mission under duress and became ordinary coins. Of these three, only XMR is a privacy coin.

well to guard against under-performance by a single coin, smart crypt investors diversified their poorfolio and added some coins with use cases like STRAT, EOS and QTUM for smart contracts, ZCASH and DASH for privacy and a coin with enterprise adoption like XRP that would soon be adopted by banks /s

I do not know much about DAI, but anyone using ANY crypto is miles ahead. I just think, why take a chance? I am very comfortable with DASH and Bitcoin. I know I can trust those blockchains.

Iamdonedonedone

Groceries at walmart and sobeys, gas at Esso, Petro Canada and mobil, Tim Hortons, home depot and pretty much anywhere that accepts mastercard. I use Bitrefill along with DASH. This allows me to keep my money in crypto while being able to spend it. Bitrefill allows instant gift cards to be purchased with dash that are added to apple wallet. Lets say I go to walmart and the self checkout says my purchase is $14.21 . I then go to bitrefill and get a gift card for $14.21, takes the dash from my wallet and then I can the barcode (my gift card). Takes about 10-15 seconds for the entire transaction, tops. If you need spending money, convert from Bitcoin to Dash. We all need to use crypto to get off this bullshit system we live in of inflation. It is TIME we all use crypto for our purchases and get off the banking system. IT CAN BE DONE.

It's going to happen. Right after DASH reclaims its $12 billion market cap. HODL baby!

RebelliousRoomba

Dash is probably a better currency than Bitcoin, I’m not refuting that, but I’m proposing something that I believe is quite important: Time has proven that Dash is not sufficiently usable enough as a currency for the public to care much. A decade of existence and it only has a market cap of $0.28B means that it’s tiny and does not have a ton of prospects of increasing that position. In this case if it were new or particularly novel then I would be interested but its block rate is slow even compared to many Proof-of-Work projects, the fact that it is Proof-of-Stake make it a “rich get richer” coin even though you claim to oppose that mentality, and there’s nothing about the project that makes it uniquely useful as a spending currency compared to other existing options. As for your final statement, the analysis of alternatives here are not between DASH and memecoins. Meme coins are useless junk in the long term. It’s entirely possible to invest in a cryptocurrency that is valuable as both a store of value AND as a usable peer-to-peer currency, but DASH seems clear to me to not be the answer. If you like DASH, by all means buy it, I just don’t personally find it to be compelling given its characteristics.

Iamdonedonedone

Crypto is meant to be used as digital currency. Does it not do that better than bitcoin? It takes 2 seconds for a transaction. It has indeed been around for a decade. I guess it depends what your goals are. If you want to live off crypto and not have the bank or government seize your assets, and the ability to spend it, DASH is for you. If you want to try and make a quick buck, I suggest jumping on the next pump and dump meme token.

RebelliousRoomba

My thoughts: - Dash has been around since 2014 and is still irrelevant. Lame. - It uses X11 which is like a modified Proof-of-Stake consensus… yuck. - The whole master node thing is intellectually interesting but seems to be very PoS style and allows for coin staking. No thanks. - It has interesting features as a privacy coin so I’ll give it a point there I guess. - Block speed of only one block every 2.5 minutes, that is faster than Bitcoin but still way too slow. Dash seems… okay I guess? I’m certainly not buying any though. It’s been around for a decade. What is going to happen in the future that hasn’t already occurred that you believe is going to propel DASH to new all time highs and beyond?

Iamdonedonedone

That is funny, because I use DASH for Uber Eats. Pay with Bitrefill

You forgot some good ones: > It is, and the piece that people don’t understand is the world and communication moves a hell of a lot faster now than it did back then. Like orders of magnitude faster. It’s not going to take years for crypto projects to unseat bitcoin. It’s going to take months. > Honestly, who are these people who introduce Bitcoins to newbies. They are the one to blame, seriously. People need to stop mentioning Bitcoin too much. When I introduce blockchain to my friends I only mention Ethereum and maybe say Bitcoin once as an example of other blockchain like Ethereum. But this is a discussion forum, *specifically for cryptocurrencies that are not Bitcoin* (otherwise people would be posting in /r/bitcoin) - It's not really surprising that the posters there are trying to think of things other than Bitcoin. This is also a **super** cherry picked thread from near the very tip top of the alt boom in 2017. It's so cherry picked that at the time, Bitconnect was in the top 10, along with DASH and NEM. Bitcoin Cash was still "warring" with BTC for the name. That being said, you're also forgetting the coins that *did* become mainstays, that did increase in value since then, that did make their name in the crypto markets. DOGE, even deflated massively, has gone up 24x since then. BNB is up 100x+. LINK is up 30x. Dozens of other alts have gone up 100-1000xs into the top 100 in that time. While I agree with your messages and laugh when receipts are posted, the main thing people should take away from them is that you should *never marry your altcoins and hold them until the end of time*. You can make gains, but you **should take profits**. If you get into the "next big thing", congrats, take your profits and move on. Don't hold it for 10 years, or if you plan on doing that, know that it has a very small chance of being something at the end of that time.

williamz902

Not every alt. Go look at the All Chart for DASH for example. Although it might drop slightly more depending on what the general market does, it's literally at rock bottom. There are so many others in the same position.

Hodlmegently

Crypto is the future. But I wouldn't have used multiple eth transfers to get the job done with the gas fees they add on lol. Next time try LTC, DASH, BCH or XRP for something like this. DASH has instant settlement and practically zero fees.

Iamdonedonedone

I used DASH and Bitrefill. I keep money in Bitcoin and use sideshift.ai to move bitcoin into dash.

Iamdonedonedone

I think 0.1 BTC in 20 years is going to change lives. I have friends who have $60,000 in their savings account. There is NO EXCUSE for them not to get 0.1 BTC and put it away....in my opinion. I use BTC for saving, and DASH for spending.

lawfulnuro

I'd say a good place to start with this would be to go to [coinmarketcap.com](http://coinmarketcap.com), take a look at top 20-150 coins, and see what they're about. Anything under 2b market cap has a chance to 10x in bull market peak. A lot of interesting investments to be found around 50-500m MC. Ignore "dino" coins from 2017 like NEM, XTZ. Don't follow the hype around coins like XRP or CRO. Avoid privacy coins like XRM or DASH (despite the use case, it's only a matter of time till most exchanges delist them, no point in market makers pumping them then). With your risk tolerance you should be able to find 20+ coins easily that sound worth investing into. I'd also recommend diversifying into multiple, don't put all your money in one coin.

The top ten in the market Cap of 2017 would be netting you even right now. NEO, XEM, BCH, MIATA, DASH, XRP, XLM. These are the ones I remember off the top of my head. You must be a trader. Which is not something 99% of the people here can do. HODL bitcoin and you’d have turned $1k into $66k.

> The only people who have their money frozen by banks or governments are criminals. Wrong. Canada froze bank accounts for people who protest. Banks get hacked all the time. In the last year, I had two charges on my bank from a hotel overseas. Took me 30-40 days to get my money back. I do not have this problem with DASH.

GreenStretch

Not those. I traded my tiny DASH and ZEC bags when I realized they were sliding towards the bottom of page 2 of CMC.

JeopardyQBot

Yeah I dunno about this. "Still around" in the sense they didn't go way the way of BitConnect, but there are so many 2017 projects that are essentially dead and treading water and are only purchased by bag holders or people who left and came back years later. When was the last time you heard someone talk about Verge? or DASH, NEM, PPT, OMG, NEO, LSK, STRAT, MONA, KMD, SALT, EMC2, ETN.. etc etc those were all top 500 coins at the peak of the bull in december 2017

Based on my two cycles of experience, hell no. I remember when the big names were NEO, DASH, OMG, NANO, EOS, etc. If I had DCA’d into those, I’d be cucked out of the last bull run. You should be studying the satoshi/gwei pairing, not the fiat pair. They rarely outperform cycle after cycle. Alt portfolios are like a bingo card. Utility rarely outperforms hype. I seriously recommend lurking on 4chan/biz/ to chase pumps, over DCAing into alts.

Got bored during Covid (end 2020) so took some time to read about crypto. I seriously tried to understand all about blockchain's and so on. Okay, I might be 60+ yrs but I'm not stupid (I thought.. ghe ghe). Ended up buying NPXS (PundiX now) because I figured that this was (at least by then, one of the) the only crypto with a irl-use-case ánd it's main purpose was (and still is, I think) making transactions of all kinds of crypto easy between retailers and consumers. Whether it's gonna be PundiX or one of the direct competitors by now (like LTC, Nano, XLM, DASH, XRP, XMR) who's gonna win that proposition: I still believe that if crypto becomes broadly accepted (and it probably will), that the winner of the irl-exchange between consumers and retailers 'is on gold'. Anyway, short after I ended up buying NPXS, the denomination/transition to PundiX gave me a fantastic loss ;). After a few stupid mistakes, I started to DCA and bought some BTC and ETH as well. By now I start to see some 'light'-green figures. Not sure what to do .. take out my invested dimes having no loss or hodl.

vinibarbosa

My personal choices are: - Nano (XNO) - Monero (XMR) Also, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), Dash (DASH), ZCash (ZEC), and a few others still hold strong to the idea and vision of peer-to-peer decentralized money. It's not for the lack of working alternatives. Many like you realized this issue with Bitcoin (BTC) and moved on (I did it myself). There is nothing wrong with moving on to better tools. EMBRACE THE CHANGE!

nugymmer

Yep. I saw this with DASH back in December 2016/January 2017, people were saying it was a scam. But it wasn't. I exchanged it for another coin that didn't do nearly as well. DASH later went to over $1000 that same year...from...wait for it...$13. Never and I mean EVER believe these posts. It's almost always because someone has capitulated and the price is ready to start ramping. Whenever someone shitposts about a token, and I hold it, I know that I'm unlikely to do poorly from holding it and very likely to suffer if I sell it. XRP will likely head towards $5...but as always, never invest money you're not prepared to part with.

Blooberino

I feel that's a common thread. My first entries besides BTC were LTC, OMG, LINK, DASH, and FIL. I've since balanced to 25% BTC, 25% ETH, and 50% all else and it's served me so much better.

PopeIndigent

The shock is they're not entirely wrong. I Mean people love the IDEA of BTC, but not many people actually trade in it. For actual trade, you need #BCH, or #DASH, or #Monero, or any one of the other 10,000 coins out there.

bitcoin_islander

All stale 2021 coins that wont pump again. Just like stale coins from 2017 like EOS, IOTA, and DASH didnt.

Leithm

The first DAO was DASH It has worked technically very well for the last 10 years, but the project itslef has kind of wasted away.

kayn1k

There are no "privacy coins". There is only one coin that CIA cannot crack the code, that is Monero. All others are trackable. Why is still ZEC and DASH on Binance? Because they don't work.

kayn1k

Well, come with a counter argument then. Monero has an algorithm even CIA cannot crack. Name another coin with same features. ZEC? DASH? They are tracable. Monero doesn't need a shill because it offers something that none other cryptocurrency has. I just pointed out the obvious after seeing the news today. The girl on the news, she wouldn't be facing 20 years in prison today just by simply using Monero. Sad.

Is it safe? Sure. It really depends on what you mean. You basically have to trust that those wrapped assets are backed and redeemable in their native chains. Sometimes it is more expensive to deal with native assets, but that's the price you pay to deal with actual native assets. The good thing is, that you can easily swap between different native assets like BTC and DASH using Thorchain or Maya Protocol. Without dealing with a centralized exchange, you can go from one native asset to the other. Personally, this is how I like to manage my assets. I know 100% that those assets are legit, and they're on their respective chain. No trusting bridge services, no KYC, no bs.

l337m45732

Cardano and Bitcoin are probably safe plays. I don't know that I would keep such a tight basket, though. Especially considering Maya Protocol is integrating Cardano for native ADA <-> BTC swaps. This will allow you to swap BTC & ADA to and from other assets like ETH, KUJI, & even DASH. Might be a good idea to diversify a tiny bit more than just 2 assets, and there is an easy way to do it through Maya.

OK so let me get this straight: Binance enlists every shitcoin memecoin rugpull bullshit they can find, but delists Monero? "The Monero"? Is that the story here? They are not only de-listing Monero but at the same time blocking withdrawals which means forcing accounts to sell their Monero instead. It looks like an operation to me rather than a simple de-listing considering that it was already expected months ago. This is a kill attempt similar to what happened to Bitcoin many times in the past. Monero is not a rugpull memecoin you can -40% in a day, you need serious organized effort to be able to pull that off. Monero is one of the oldest coins out there with a perfect algorithm to protect your privacy which has a perfectly running network for years. Monero is king of privacy and darknet. ZEC, DASH or any others doesn't even come close to it. Monero developers and community have some of the smartest minds on the planet. Monero has a circulating supply same as Bitcoin, it doesn't have trillions of coins out there and every whale I know is keeping a portion of Monero in their portfolio "just in case". CEX will come and go. Monero will stay. Here is an example from Jan-2021: [https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/01/01/bittrex-to-delist-privacy-coins-monero-dash-and-zcash/](https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/01/01/bittrex-to-delist-privacy-coins-monero-dash-and-zcash/) Where is Bittrex now?

I know the popular choice is mixing through XMR & DASH. But one might explore RHOM too. It claims to employ RingCT for anonymous transactions.

You asked so I'll answer and get downvoted. (I like LTC, just being honest) LTC does nothing novel compared to Bitcoin. Charlie lee changed a few parameters so there'd be more coins and a different hashing algo. There's currently zero development. Nothing since the mimblewimble block extensions which no one uses. Okay fees are low, great. They're also super low on every single alt other than BTC/ETH. LTC's primary strength is it was early to market and got listed on all the big exchanges and thus developed a network effect. But what now? Why is no one developing on it? Other layer 1 coins at least have useful privacy, on-chain coinholder voting, treasuries, building out DEXs, moving the peg forward (XMR, DCR, ZEC, DASH etc) LTC is boring. And that's fine. It does what it needs to do. Just don't expect people to get too excited about it.

tldr; Market liquidity for privacy tokens such as Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), and DASH has hit all-time lows due to crypto exchanges delisting these assets amid regulatory pressure. Kaiko's data indicates that liquidity for these tokens was just $5 million last week following their removal from OKX. Major platforms have increasingly delisted privacy tokens, with ZEC being the most delisted over the past two years. This trend has led to market fragmentation, with XMR remaining on large exchanges and ZEC and DASH trading on smaller, unregulated venues. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Don't forget [BasicSwap DEX](https://basicswapdex.com/) which has been live for over a year now and supports atomic swaps between BTC, XMR, PIVX, PART, DASH, FIRO and LTC.

Love your insights! LRC & XMR indeed have unique use-cases. Consider learning more about other gems like ADA, DASH & BNB for a diversified portfolio. Happy investing!

DASH is gonna outperform this cycle!

tldr; OKX is delisting several spot trading pairs to maintain a robust trading environment, following their Token Delisting/Hiding Guideline. Affected pairs include FSN, ZKS, CAPO, CVP, XMR, DASH, ZEC, and ZEN. Deposits for these tokens have been suspended since December 27, 2023, and withdrawals will be suspended starting March 5, 2024. Users are advised to manage their assets and cancel orders before delisting, as the system will automatically cancel them within 1-3 working days. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

tldr; Privacy tokens DASH, XMR, and ZCH experienced a drop in value after the crypto exchange OKX announced it will suspend trading of these tokens on January 5. OKX's decision is based on the tokens not meeting their listing criteria, although they did not specify that the delisting is due to the privacy features of these coins. Privacy tokens are known for their ability to conceal transaction details, making them less favored by regulators. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

Inthewirelain

DASH is basically non existent on the darknet since AlphaBay fell, and iirc from Cazes spreadsheets, almost nobody used it then. I like DASH but it's floundered for too long to make headway now imo. Even litecoin saw more momentum post 2014 over DASH

fokinhellNO

Apart from BTC and Monero, no crypto has "real world utility". We're just gambling and we know it. SOL is following the DASH pattern. People who bought at $150 and watched SOL going down to $15, will get rid of it out of fear it will crash again. And it will. Most likely for good. Those who bought DASH at $600 during the first bullrun and didn't sell at $1000, were selling at $200 during the next br.... Where's DASH now?

Substantial_Run8010

Just remember that people in 2017 were bullish on NEO, DASH, IOTA, NANO etc and look how that turned out. People in 2021 were bullish on NFTs, Defi, Play to earn, ALGO, Celsius etc. There were some "winners" from back then. Cardano, BNB and Vechain come to mind. But the vast majority will fade away into nothingness. I'm writing this as a word of caution for anyone coming in here to read about the latest shiny new alt coins

panduh9228

Remember when DASH went from single digits to over $100 in a few months? Then by the end of the year hit $1500? It's at $33 now lol

tldr; The CoinDesk Market Index (CMI) outperformed the S&P 500 in 2023, with a 125% gain compared to the S&P's 23%. The CoinDesk Computing Index (CPU) led sector gains with a 167% return. Injective Protocol's INJ token, RenderToken, and Solana's SOL saw significant returns, while ApeCoin, Luna, DASH, BAL, OMG, and ZEC were among the biggest losers. Bitcoin maintained its dominance with a 164% return, and the Smart Contract Platform Sector (SMT) index returned 107%, slightly underperforming the CMI. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

NEN and DASH in the top 10. Wow.

n8_mills

AFAIK it's not meant to be a smart contract chain, it's meant to compete with BTC, LTC, DASH, etc.

whatever happened to masternode coins like DASH and PIVX? are those coming back for bull runs?!
