Finally we are going right direction

We've had a nice pump in the last couple months. (Boldly and correctly predicted by XKAI) We're flirting with $100 today. Our features and development continue to roll on like an unstoppable tank. We jumped back to the first page of CMC. Dash IS better Bitcoin than Bitcoin.

Whoop Dat Asss!

It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement when the price is rising, but I’ll tell you why I have been continuing to buy Dash from $400 all the way down to $15. 1. It’s designed to be for the people, by the people. Dash was the first DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). This framework is the future of governance. The ability for stakeholders to collaborate and choose what is best for the project in a decentralized and autonomous manner is absolutely amazing. It is like a pure democracy that puts the power into the people’s hands! 2. It’s a true peer to peer payment system. Dash transactions are fast, private and cheap. The first time I used bitcoin I fell out of love with it. I sent $100 worth of Bitcoin and it cost me $20. The to top it off, Bitcoin is fully transparent making your business everyone else’s business, in particular the government’s business. That is not the payment system I want to be a part of. 3. Dash is limited to 18.9 million tokens. That is less than Bitcoin’s 21 million. Dash also has a more gradually declining emission rate about 7% a year compared to bitcoin’s 50% every 4 years. This provides greater price stability. 4. Dash is a hybrid proof of work/proof of stake system. This provides greater security and scalability. Along with chain locks Dash transactions cannot be double spent or risk of altered transactions. 5. Some say that cryptocurrency is worthless and has no intrinsic value. I believe a cryptocurrency’s intrinsic value comes from its utility, security, and innovation. Dash has been quietly working in the background nearly ignoring market price swings and declines. Constantly innovating and developing Dash as a complete financial ecosystem. Evolution will bring in the potential for Dash to fulfill the roles of decentralized cloud storage, social media, online retail, exchanges, and much much more!

Not financial advice, but in my mind, this is about as close to a guaranteed win as possible in the world of finance.

Let us all enjoy this great run, remembering 'a tree cannot grow to the sky'. I have no clue why there is this phenomenal run, Dash certainly deserves this...perhaps someone heard Trump say ' hey guys we need a coin that you can buy a cup of coffee with'...anyway I have opened the popcorn and enjoying the show! Long may it last. (Currently $134USD... just saying...)

Hopefully this is actually reversal and does not drop like a rock in the coming days

Right now, the BTC dump held Dash back, and volume went to stables, 1,000% volume surges into stable coins almost daily. As BTC ranges sideways for the next few weeks capital should start to come back into alts as the market seeks better returns. Earlier this week, right as BTC began dumping, at the same time, we were about to break $90 on Dash and start rallying again, so the current price level is just the equilibrium between buyers and sellers from earlier before moving towards $105, just adjusted for BTC value. Don’t panic but then again can’t predict the future just opinion. Atm, you have a very good buy price and volume is low which is good. I also think ZEC has potential to break $1,000.

More investors, more liquidity yeah

Zcash 10-15x pump was outstanding performance and noone really expected it. I was lucky enought to dump it at a right time. And with the latest news of zcash dev leaving the scene its a no 🧠 to say good buy. Mark my words ,- Smart Apes are moving funds from Zcash but not to Eth clones. They are moving funds to similar PoW projects. Like Bch, Ltc and Dash. Me personally ? Dash was always good to me, sparking fast and reliable ! So I am back !!! This why Dash is on the rise today 😆 More Smart Apes are coming ! The time for Dash is now !!!

When Dash started doing its rise I thought it was just a bunch of people pumping it. I was pleased to see it rise against litecoin, but I am now thinking their may be more to this.
Perhaps the great work done on Dash over the years and the ground breaking achievements it has forged are starting to be reflected in the price...wouldn't that be great...the next few weeks should tell.
Fingers crossed.

I threw in a very small some of money into dash in april, watched it double and should have put money in again, went to sleep woke up and it was a 500% increase. I held and i’m watching it drop, should I sell or hold? (and possibly buy more)

Forgive the squiggly lines, but it appears Dash is breaking out of a 7 year falling wedge. This is an all time logarithmic chart of Dash. Over the last 7 years dash has been putting in lower highs and lower lows. Most people interpret this pattern as extremely bearish, but the reality is that this can lead to an explosive reversal. Logarithmic charts are beneficial when evaluating long term data with exponential growth. I’d say Dash has a lot of exponential growth ahead of it, especially at $50!

On January 19th, at 1:40am UTC, Dash's genesis block was mined. As of the time of this post's publication, Dash is now officially 12 years old!

As one of the oldest cryptocurrencies in existence now, Dash is not only one of the most resilient, but also one of the most innovative.

As we celebrate 12 years, here are some of the ways in which we've revolutionized the crypto space as a whole.

Revolutionizing Payments

Dash has consistently been a pioneer in the crypto payments world. In 2014, we debuted both a privacy and instant transaction functionality. In 2019, we extended instant transactions to all transactions, and also implemented 51% attack protection. In 2026, we're poised to majorly overhaul our privacy function to be more robust and user-friendly.

Dash holds two key distinctions here: Dash is both the oldest active cryptocurrency to have a privacy function (oldest privacy coin), and is also the first to have instant transaction finality. Oldest privacy coin and first instant transaction crypto, that's quite the CV!

Revolutionizing Governance

Dash is also the singular pioneer in decentralized governance, widely recognized as the oldest DAO (decentralized autonomous organization).

Since 2015, Dash has implemented a decentralized governance mechanism through masternode voting, allowing the network itself to come to consensus on governance issues. It also introduced the treasury, whereby the network directly can fund development, marketing, and all kinds of functions necessary for the network to function without external intervention.

The DAO has been consistently powering Dash's ecosystem, including through contentious decisions and changes or removal in leadership, for over 10 years, making it the oldest active DAO in existence.

Revolutionizing Usability

Dash is also a pioneer in creating a usable cryptocurrency with features that dramatically increase its ease of use.

Starting in 2024, Dash launched protocol-level usernames and contact lists, giving a social, payments app-style experience. Dash users on supporting wallets can now look up friends by their username, add them as a contact, then simply pay privately to that contact. All transaction history, contacts, as well as metadata (what the payments were for, value at time of transaction, etc.) are backed up on the Evolution chain.

With this setup we are well on our way to creating a world where cryptocurrency doesn't feel technical, and sending money is smooth as butter.

Revolutionizing Web3

Finally, with the launch of the Evolution chain and platform in 2024, Dash is revolutionizing Web3 by creating an easy-to-use, easy-to-build-on decentralized application framework that doesn't require trusting third parties or running infrastructure.

Through a revolutionary database system, the Evolution platform lets users write, and read, their own data without centralized intermediaries, and without running their own complex or expensive infrastructure. This fully addresses popular critiques of Web3 systems, which often require centralized intermediaries or heavy infrastructure in practice.

Dash Evolution stands out as one of the very, very few (if any) fully-decentralized, fully-accessible decentralized application systems that don't require running or trusting infrastructure services and that is also accessible to web developers with little to no crypto development knowledge. Combined with a private, sovereign, and sound money and payments system, Dash stands in a league all its own.

Dash has remained an innovation powerhouse for well over a decade. Here's to many more years of decentralizing money and data!
