Thinking about buying some DASH. I remember when it was all the rage. Does it still have relevance? How’s the project doing all in all?

Yes obviously you do not need to doubt about them. They are surving long time in the cryptocurrency market buddy. All you need to do is just be calm and keep your funds in the wallet itself for the next bull run.
Now already today price spiked little in the price chart. How it grow more in coming days.

I think it is still a viable project especially if you are running a masternode with it. But if you don't run a masternode and you just hold it, you don't need to think of some problems, they are still good as they are.

You just have to trust their team, the market seems to be good again and it starts to pump again. By this means, Dash is also going with the market that is recovering right now so if you want it, hold or buy it.

Dash is gaining adoption across some countries such as Venezuella (for obvious reasons-economic crises) and the number of merchants adoption is growing very rapidly.If you go by that trend,I would say it is a good buy,as with most top-rated coins at the moment.They market is likely to ease-back in the bulls in the coming months

So yes, Dash is still a good long term viable project  ;D

DASH is one of the coins with a solid history so you can have confidence that it will last a long time - as long as bitcoin. Seems to be doing well in South America so worth hodling a few for speculative purposes

I see the dash of having a competent team and dash can provide potential but when the time for the dash has increased it cannot be predicted and yet the dash is still good as a purchase.

I think thats is good choice iy you want to buy some DASH. Don't be afraid to buy DASH for long term invest. Coin that is on TOP 20 Coinmarketcap it's worth for invest.

I still believe DASH is one of the profitable coins for a long-term investment. Although the price is not too high than the last 2 years ago, I am sure when the time is right, DASH will getting increase again.
Besides that, I think the DASH project still running until now, but we don't see any significant update from them like the other coins, but once again, DASH will not let me get disappointed.

DASH is good for long term holding. DASH has grown much high in comparison to the top listed altcoins in the market. It has reached peak above $1500 which is quite good and the same makes it to be potential as ethereum. Now it is among the top 20 listed altcoins giving assurance of good return on the investment.

It still is one of the most important coins. But I think in terms of privacy coins, Monero is always the Bitcoin of them all. For me,,, I remember reading about DASH and how it was shady in the sense of developers doing somethings people were not happy with (centralized, so for a privacy coin, unacceptable).

It is for sure undervalued, remember when it was over $1k, but then, so was Ethereum!

The only good things from this coin is master node that still become the main feature that created the demand for this coin. I dont't see any other reason to buy this one. I heard this one gets adopted by few platforms as a payment system but that didn't give a lot of change to the price.

Bear markets pretty much nullify any price increase with regards to adoption or integrations, good thing we are slowly getting out of the current bear market.
Nice price increase over the last 24 hours as well : https://messari.io/onchainfx

Here is a Dash price chart with a longterm 1month interval on Poloniex (just disregard the volume on below chart as most of the Dash traded volume takes place on other exchanges these days) :

https://i.imgur.com/2b8xECE.jpg

RSI & MACD indicate that the bottom has been reached for Dash and that hopefully a new longterm uptrend has been started (a bit too early maybe to tell on this chart, things should get more clear in a few months).

Monero was dangerously traceable the first few years (https://www.wired.com/story/monero-privacy/), which basicly means that Dash won the privacy race ages ago.
Dash then moved on to developing additional use cases, moving away from being a privacy-centric cryptocurrency towards a cryptocurrency more focussed on
providing fast and cheap transactions, locked against double spending. As a bonus you still have the option to put privacy on your transactions.
With Dash Evolution more use cases will become available, things like decentralized apps, blockchain storage, privatesend on phones, etc.    

With regards to the shady thing, well that is best explained here : https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OC/pages/19759164/Dash+Instamine+Issue+Clarification
Its up to investors to decide if this still plays a role, the community has moved on a long time ago and devs kept things well documented and visible for newcomers through the use of pinned topic
(https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/official-dash-instamine-issue-clarification.7569/).

Also with Dash you get a lot of transparancy in the form of quarterly summary calls, which are live streamed and provide a summary of its dev team's business development, financial state,
marketing development, roadmap progress etc. Not many crypto projects dev teams have this much transparancy towards their own community.

Dash was one of the first coins i bought back in early 2017 and is the top
POS coin. As with any project the roadmap and development of it are the
best indicators of the viability, Dash has all that.

Dash is potential coin. But I already sold some of my Dash last year 2018 I already have some but don't worry I still believed to Dash coin. I think it will become thousands dollars the value of Dash after few many years. I hope the Developer of this coin will upgrade more the system so the glow of this coin will become shine again. We can get more money in Dash and better to have Dash coin now.

centralized altcoins with a shady history has never been a good choice for long term investments so i wouldn't think of it more than a short term pump and dump coin which is similar to most other altcoins and i would treat it that way. but i do it because i am only interested in guaranteeing my own success and reducing the risks of losing any of my bitcoins which i invest in altcoins. you may not be the same as me!

Dash is not centralized because of its "shady" history, the many large dumps between 2014 and 2019 actually caused widespread distribution for Dash, decentralizing the circulating supply to a certain degree.
Furthermore you can not have both a centralized altcoin and a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) as an altcoin, its either one or the other.

Church’s Chicken Venezuela Offers Special Promotion for Paying With Dash
https://dashnews.org/churchs-chicken-venezuela-offers-special-promotion-for-paying-with-dash/

https://i.imgur.com/OJcg61V.jpg


The power of Dash : its fast, its secure, its cheap with regards to transaction fees and it gets highly attractive when used in combination with a discount or promotion.

Thank you for the detailed update as i was not following the Dash development for some time and it looks like merchants in Venezuela is adopting Dash, i am not sure whether it is a one off thing or a major adoption throughout the country. The thing i am impressed with the developers is that they always keep on evolving and adding new stuffs.

@ qwizzie detailed about the current development in Dash, when it comes to use case they are not used in the dark web and i have not come across any site that accept Dash as a payment and i am not sure why that is, Monero is the coin used in most of the dark websites. Not sure either what made them decide to go with Monero even though Dash was created well before Monero.

Thank you for the merit (you too aleix) and the feedback.

If you really want to follow whats going on with Dash, i recommend keeping an eye on the budget proposals which are up for voting this month :

https://www.dashcentral.org/budget
https://app.dashnexus.org/proposals/active

The current bear market does limit our monthly budget (6176 Dash per month x $83 = $512.608 per month) and causes some competition among the available budget proposals 

Also Dash News is a good site to keep tabs on Dash : https://dashnews.org/

DASH is always a favorite coin to invest for me, as for trading also it is very good, when ever the market is moved DASH has been giving good movement. So i think it is always good choice to invest in DASH as it has good team and potential to invest.

Dash entered the top 20 in CMC, and still deserves to be a long-term investment, looks to have a value of $ 83.
This Dash looks strong and has a community that is able to grow better.

Although I am not fan of DASH but I see how it perform, now it's still a major coin in the market and I believe it has a great volume as well.
The circulating supply is only 8,651,530 DASH , how low the supply is, I'm sure anytime when there is a big news regarding this coin, it will surely pump. Hence, if I could add more coins in my portfolio, I would not skip this one though.

Totally, Dash has been one of the currencies that I have always liked, they enjoy a project and a team that is very responsible and that meets the community. I have been a participant in their official forum, and I can see that they are still going very well, they have achieved recognition and credibility, this is potentially good for them.

The Marketing team has managed very good strategies, so all that effort will give results in the long term, I think it is a very stable currency, which suffers from the fall of Bitcoin, like all others, but has good support.

Dash looks more alive with a team that is always active and continues to develop its coins, this has a good impact on the community. The growth continues and this will be a coin that deserves to be maintained. Dash level is quite good and will certainly get a lot of support and will continue to move for a better place.

DASH is not a hype coin, its here for a long period of time already and remains stable with their development.
This is a solid coin that is good for investment if you would ask me, ETH and DASH are good, of course not to mentioned, BTC is always my priority.

DASH is a good coin for the long term, I still remember a few years ago when the initial DASH was launched the price was very cheap $1 - $3 if it's not wrong and now the price is $80 that means the developer is very good at developing his project

I remember that too, Dash pretty much trippled in value each year, untill it hit its peak end 2017 / early 2018 :

1-1-2015 : $1,94
1-1-2016 : $3,33
1-1-2017 : $11,21
1-1-2018 : $1060
1-1-2019 : $79

Which means it isnt totally unreasonable to exspect a tripple value again, once this bear market is finally finished.

The circulating supply is in reality even lower, because 4,900,000 Dash of the circulating supply currently serves as collateral for masternodes (4900 masternodes x 1000 Dash), which brings the circulating supply down to 3,751,530 Dash.
Of course if the Dash price rises high enough masternode owners can sell their 1000 Dash on the open market at any moment, thereby increasing the circulating supply again.
In case anyone is wondering, the collateral of masternodes is held offline, in cold wallets (mostly hardware wallets i imagine), where their owners have full control over their Dash investment.

Here are also some details about owning 1 masternode : https://dash-news.de/dashtv/#curr=USD&value=1000

https://i.imgur.com/bJ3DXKI.jpg

The more the Dash price rises, the higher masternode earnings (45% of each blockreward) , miners earnings (45% of each blockreward) and the Dash budget (10% of each blockreward / 6176 Dash per month) in FIAT value gets.
Costs are as follows : server renting costs ($10 or $15 per month), the collateral of 1000 Dash and you need to keep that masternode (basicly a Linux server keeping a record of the full blockchain) updated from time to time,
so you need to invest some personal time into it.

there are were some news that Venesuella KFT will accept Dash, but this news was few month ago and seems they still not accepted them. But the main question here is why they going to accept anonymous cryptocurrency?
As for anonymous - Dash have a lot competitors nowdays and seems new projects much more better technically ...

Yeah, it seems someone jumped the gun on that one : https://cointelegraph.com/news/kfc-venezuela-denies-accepting-dash-payments

With regards to why they (KFC) would accept an anonymous cryptocurrency, just remember with Dash it is optional to have privacy on its transactions, most of the Dash transactions that are taking place on its network are not private
but fully traceable on the blockchain (like Bitcoin). Those that want to make their transactions more private have the option to do that by mixing their coins with other particpants a certain number of rounds and then PrivateSend them,
its an option available to them but its an option thats not widely used.  

https://dashradar.com/charts/transactions-per-day (11919 transactions 25th of feb 2019)
https://dashradar.com/charts/privatesend-transactions-per-day (72 PrivateSend transactions 25th of feb 2019)

This means that most Dash users just use Dash because of its speed, its security and its low transaction fees.
I do want to emphasize that Dash optional privacy on its transactions is strong, made more efficient over the years (faster mixing), got cheaper (lower mixing fees) and has never been broken.

For longterm and good investment, Dash is still reliable. When you participate in their official forum, you will know that it is still active and going.

It may have had a shady past, but its features - fast cheap and secured will always be my top reasons why i invested to Dash.

I think that there are more technologically advanced privacy coins. GRIN and Beam are my favorites.
Also Monero could have a potentional if they implement the Mimblewimble protocol.

Of course, without any hesitation Dash is good for investment. You can invest on DASH because of some reason.
Reasons is, 15th rank of coinmarketcap. And It is listed more than 200+ pairs. People using Das for trading and investing a lot of. So I think it can be good near future.   

It is truth that dash has done very well in the past especially the 2017 bullish year.  I believe that the bearish trend that pull bitcoin down has also affected dash and that means it is very important you should know that it a Cryptocoins market problem and that affect dash too.  Now that it is very cheap I will said we can invest now.

Actually, now all cryptocurrencies are so low that sooner or later their prices will have to go up. DASH still has a lot of potential, so I'm sure that in a few months the price will be recovered.

Well, I am not here to discredit their project because I didn’t buy DASH too when I read from a great analyst that DASH market environment has been in a bearish cycle for the past 12 months which will lead to a negative trend in the future as implied by the analyst and suggested that DASH is not a good investment for making money but you can just buy little of it for benefit of doubt and term the money a LONG TERM INVESTEMENT, so you just buy it there and leave it without monitoring it and hoping that one day maybe after 20 years, it will give you a great surprise and make you buy a house in MIAMI, just kidding.

Both Bitcoin and all altcoins have been in a bearish cycle for the past 12 months, which means according to your mentioned analyst that Bitcoin and all other altcoins will have a negative trend in the future and are therefore not a good investment for making money.
Thats just completely wrong. Investors should invest when a bearmarket approaches the point of exhaustion, as the price will then be less subject to wild downward movements. The point of exhaustion is pretty much now (give or take a few months).  

In my opinion Dash has already bottomed out and is currently going through an accumulation phase :

https://i.imgur.com/21Lxeqx.jpg

I suspect it will start growing in btc value the next few months untill accumulation phase ends and rapid growth (bull market) starts.  
Only thing that can impact Dash (and all other altcoins) is wild sell movements from Bitcoin, but that will most likely impact Dash btc value less (because of its bottoming-out process) then Dash fiat value.
When Bitcoin after a wild sell movement correct upward again, then Dash fiat value will correct upward with it.

For short term investment or day trading, I don’t think dash is advisable as you think sir, have you taken time to study their market for that past 12 months ?

It’s only advisable to invest in this type of coin that has lots of uncertainties if it’s for a very LONG TERM investment, there are so many coin like DASH too that I have but I don’t see them as a get rich quick cash as it may take a very long time to double even the investment if it will ever happen, the highest they can go is 150% ROI in years.

Dash price behaviour over the years :

1-1-2015 : $1.94
1-1-2016 : $3.33
1-1-2017 : $11.21
1-1-2018 : $1060.74
1-1-2019 : $70.61

Dash price can easily reach x3 (300%) ROI and can grow even more in fiat value, once Bitcoin hits a bullrun.
I believe we will see two kind of bullruns :

* first a selective Altcoins bullrun to those crypto projects that kept developing and integrating throughout the current bearmarket (the healthy crypto projects, which Dash certainly belongs to)
* later in 2019 / early 2020 a Bitcoin bullrun mostly because of institutional investors and the halving of their blockrewards in 2020
    
You are correct that Dash is more of a longterm investment project, more than 58% of Dash circulating supply of 8,6 million Dash is in hands of longterm investors (masternode owners).
Link : https://stats.masternode.me/network-report/215512

Dash was formed by people who were disappointed by Bitcoin's scaling direction.
Bitcoin Cash seemed to overpower Dash in terms of community, but the hash war really destroyed it.
It's not impossible that Dash comes on top after all.

as long as there is still a movement of price fluctuations, especially the fast movement of the highest price to the lowest price, or vice versa, I think it is still relevant to trade and get profit.

New month = New longterm price chart from Dash on Poloniex through tradingview.com
It has two MACD's (1 default, 1 popular on tradingview) + RSI
Disregard volume on this chart as most Dash trades takes place on other exchanges. It does provide the longest interval (1 month), which gives a better longterm overview

Dash is one good alt in general that can be trusted for long term holding,it was standing in this market for how many years now and though the value drops(of course together with all the coins and also tokens) i am still confident that my Dash in wallet will bring me good profit and usage in future.the team is not sopping to innovative works for the benefits of dash community so just Hold and keep the patience dear mate

I do not know the Core and DASH ambitions.
But apparently by far I find the behavior of this crypcurrencie very interesting!
It's certainly an elegant project and the chart shows strong valuations in periods that favor such movements.
When you think of anonymity and value reserve at the same time DASH is remembered by many traders and investors.
But if you asked about long term then it is because you believe someone will pay more dearly in the future, right?

For me, DASH is now outdated. There are many new projects now that is much better than DASH. But the project of Dash still active and alive, when you are asking for the long term of Dash, I believe it is good to support Dash for long term position.

Of course the Dash is one of the best coins that is worth buying, and my advice is to hold on for some time if it can last 2-3 years that will give you a good profit later.

It being the first coin which implemented the idea of masternode still makes it a good ground to invest, the best coins to buy in the crypto space are not just any random coins but coins that have actually brought real life value to this great community.
You don't even need to just make purchase of the coin to keep and hope that someday you make a lot of profit, you can just setup one or two masternode that gives you daily profit.

Actually i would describe it as when Bitcoin fall all other Altcoins fall too but fall a bit harder and when Bitcoin rise all other Altcoins rise too but rise in general a bit higher.
So there is a bit more risk & more reward to Altcoins.

Ethereum performs the same as any altcoin in that regard, its not like Ethereum is moving totally independently from Bitcoin. When Bitcoin falls, Ethereum falls a bit harder :
 
https://i.imgur.com/LV4Ms5M.jpg

So it seems that you just have a preference of Ethereum over Dash as altcoin, which is fine .. we all have our own preferences.

Dash is a highly successful coin in Venezuela there is a lot of mass adaptability .many merchants are accepting  dash is payment and even most of the money transactions are happening in dash so there is lot of future for dash especially in South American countries

Bitcoin still hold the main key, but as far as i learned from your post if bitcoin domination to the crypto becomes less and less.

Remember when bitcoin gets a little big decrease in the past and there was a huge dump to the whole of altcoin whatever it's major coin or not.

Of a truth the bearish trend that commence early last year has really affected the general performance of all the cryptocurrencies market.  I think we should see dash recovery in some years to come and if we can invest in it now it might do well in future.

You are not far from the truth mate but I can assure you that the rise of some altcoins doesn’t mot necessarily depend on bitcoin totally, some altcoins rises when bitcoin is down and consolidating which I witnessed in 2017 around JULY and most altcoins I held rose almost 1500% and bitcoin was around 2000 usd then which we didn’t witness BULL RUN until Late December 2017.

Hence, what do we have to say about this scenario, how come most altcoins rose far before bitcoin HIT BULL RUN, what did they depend on then?

DASH is still a good altcoin and it is really growing steadily. But bad rumors about it have lost a lot of investors' confidence, which is a worrying thing.
I hope that in the future DASH will take steps to develop or change their team to be new and more positive. They will get more affection and positive response from investors. LTC has also been successful recently because of its positive change.

You are correct that sometimes Altcoins just move differently then Bitcoin (for example rising while Bitcoin is still in an accumulation phase or falling when Bitcoin is rising).
I suspect this can be due to : pump & dump groups (whales), hype, TA factors or new developments. Or a combination of those all.

Thats why i think we will first see an Altcoins pump for above mentioned reasons and later on a much bigger Bitcoin pump due to institutional investors entering the market and the upcoming halving of Bitcoin's blockreward in 2020.
Calculating if / when to sell can be tricky then.

I believe that Dash is one of the most powerful and well-organized projects in the crypto foreign exchange market. As a long-term investment, Dash is worth buying for the long term, because now it is an undervalued asset with high growth potential.

DASH is a very good and reliable long term project even though the price has gone down too just like every other crypto currency has a result of this bearish trend but I believe it will pick up too like every other coin during the BULL TREND, so it still very relevant and reliable, just that it’s still among high coins in prices for now but no quantity is too little to invest with on any coin.

I personally have about 5 DASH which I even bought when the price was extremely high though I later sold one when I need cash.

The guy's advising on market cap and on the trends of it being used for trading and investing a lot. Could say the same just about for every currency currently in CMC top 15?

Dash is definitely a long termer. A lot of quiet movement now in South America, especially in Venezuela. Maybe once the new president is properly installed all those merchants get a chance to do real business, and you'll see Dash come up properly. Sort of like what darkmarkets did for Monero.

DASH is a more than viable but a little bit underrated coin I think. They are continuously updating about their movements, the trading volume also very high according to the Coinmarketcap. But no one talks about DASH, most of the people are busy with ETC, XRP, NEO, EOS, ADA after Bitcoin and Ethereum. I think DASH is a very good coin for long term profit, even I think this is better than BCH!

I agree with your statement because DASH will be more useful than BCH and it will also be underrated currency still now because people will not came out from a huge investments till now so I definitely think it will be more useful for long term.

DASH already accepted on some retails to use it as a payment system and it's even better than BCH which has been getting a lot of gimmick and rumour from its shillers if that will be accepted by all of merchants in the world. BCH is a big bullshit for me.

Not all in dash coin. I saw dash last few years ago when the price is very low and Im happy to see because even the dash is already dumped I still have profit since I invested last few yeats ago so I did not lose any of my capital in dash. This coin is one of the good coin at cryptocurrency. It is good for longterm investment and I believe in the future the possibilities for this price is more than thousands dollars.

bitcoin or ethereum is a better alternate for dash in these days. this is because when bitcoin fall 1, the other altcoins fall 2. or when bitcoin rises 2, other coins rise 1. so bitcoin is better than dash

Dash is amazing at what it does, and groundbreaking at times with its instant transactions. It serves a great purpose for humanity, it has a great community that helps people in need, Venezuelians most recently. But I don't think any of this matters for its price action.

Dash is a great investment, I still remember how the price soar high and able to take place in top 10, the rising is absolutely amazing, and for now I think the potential still huge, the stagnant movement recently is cause by the market not the decreasing potential

the community behind dash is one of the best communities in the market right now but how valuable will be in the future no one now it's a pure speculation good luck :),

Dash has been in the crypto world for a long time now and it have proven that it wouldn't be down.
It has been always in the top 100 in coinmarketcap so for me it would be a good choice to invest with.
And let's not forget that Dash is a PoS which you could get more by just holding it so if you are going to look for a long term investment Dash is one of the best.

I never had the chance to check out this dash but most investors and traders from forums and different chat group have all praise about this coin. If you think you can trust all the way to keep and hold your dash when you are going to acquire it, then go ahead and trust yourself.

do not doubt about this one coin. this project is a good project for the long term. I have read how it works in terms of white paper as well as the road map.

Definitely DASH will be good investment for long term i believe because this project is highly reliable because you can see in Venezuela how much activities. DASH recent update about MasterNode https://blog.dash.org/product-update-march-21-2019-12c4a741046
In Venezuela people can buy food to using DASH it's like charities.

There’s a still great demand for dash and its usually used for gambling so i think this will survive in long term trend. Its a good team and also a good coin, bear market affect this coin much but for sure recovery is still possible with Dash.

Dash is a coin that we deserve to be a long-term investment, I'm sure if the market improves, DASH can be like 2017, buying DASH now is certainly a good thing for the future.

Based on what we are seeing in venezuela it is clear that DASH has a very bright future. When people are using it in the real world then you know that they have produced something big, the future is bright and it is a great time to accumulate

Strongly agree, there are great possibilities for DASH to have a very good bullish stage, since its development is great and the community that supports it is huge.

From the point of technical analysis, Dash has a good structure, which can be studied from the Wyckoff theory, having as a current basis the accumulation phase, which indicates that it is an ideal time to make purchases of dash and hold until the market in general reaches its bullish tendency.

I am sure that Dash's work from his team has taken into account the speculative market perspective as an investor's perspective, where the dash investor knows that he must wait as long as necessary until he obtains profits.

A few more months i reckon, before the real fun begins....

I have never doubted the future of Dash, old coins with loyal users and continues to grow, the difficult market conditions certainly have an impact on Dash, but I'm sure Dash is a promising coin.

Of course, if we consider last year’s attitude to a certain project in the cryptocurrency market, then the conviction was rather high that DASH has real prospects in the future. But today I want to deal only with those projects that have a real public interest in themselves, as well as a real possibility of practical use.

I think Dash will have a bigger market volume in the future. Because secrecy is the most basic item of this market. I think Dash will be one of the main actors if there is a financial revolution in the future.

Yes, Dash is still a good project and is one of best option to invest and store for long term. In future if all goes well the price will be one very good for Dash and a lot of profit can be made

Dash is one of the first project that came up with the idea of masternode and pos, we have seen many coin forked out of the dash repository, such coin includes pivx. Dash is not really well known by many now in the crypto space, but I am sure that the dash team will soon come up with something new to draw investors attention making the coin price spike, so I can say that it is a very good idea to hodl dash for a long term investment.

I wanted to set up the masternode for dash but it was very expensive. I wish I had known that a lot earlier. It is really a very sensible investment to set up masternode for Dash. But it used to be.

Its is a little bit expensive but we know already its guaranteed to value and usable in the future.
Dash have shown stabilize market value and it probably many investors will encourage to this opportunity. But if you have enough money to put in his coins, you'll must be doing it right now before bull run occurs.

If you are looking at profits then bitcoin is the coin to invest, but if you priority is privacy and security then Dash is one of the most useful coin in that view along side with other privacy coins in the market, is it possible to see an huge rally in Dash alone, i highly doubt that unless you see major merchants accepting it which is highly unlikely because of the regulation factor because of its privacy nature. Other than that it is a great project to have a secure transaction online.

I don't know too much information about dash but since the bear market appears and lasts until the present time, dash is almost missing from the crypto market, more precisely, I do not see any signs or special points from it, it seems to evaporate in the market even though in previous periods, it was very popular and invested by many people. And with such data, I think we should ignore it in our choice, we should choose altcoin that has prominence and popularity during this period, should not choose the ones that were forgotten

DASH is a good coin among many front runner like the Litecoin, Dogecoin and the Monero. So, buy it more now as it is trading in very low price now. You should keep it in your wallet for the long time say 10 years or more. Definitely you get more than millionth of time in value appreciation.

Dash is not almost missing from cryptomarket since bear market, it has been doing extremely well in Latin America (Venezuela, Colombia, US) and although Dash has been hit by the bear market, Dash has not been hit worse then most altcoins in the top 15 (see last column) :

Just because you are not familiar with Dash and seem to have zero knowledge about its progress, you should not make wild claims and give unfounded investment advice.
Dash has been integrating and expanding throughout the bearmarket, here is just an example of last month : https://dashnews.org/

WinstantPay Integrates Dash InstantSend Solving Key Merchant Adoption Barrier: WinstantPay is a global payment network that has been providing financial services for years and will now be integrating Dash InstantSend to allow merchants to instantly lock-in exchange rates and convert their crypto to fiat at the time of a consumer purchase. The integration will enable more merchants to easily adopt Dash since they can worry less about exchange rate risks and focus on the speed and inexpensiveness of Dash payments.

Cryptofacil Exchange Adds Dash Trading Pairs: The Latin America-based exchange recently integrated Dash with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USD-based stablecoin Tether pairs. There will also be a promotion for free trading by using the “DASHFREETRADES” promotion code. Cryptofacil has partnered with Bittrex, a top-50 cryptocurrency exchange with over $50 million in daily adjusted volume, which will enable the integration to further facilitate Dash’s quickly growing presence Latin America and the Caribbean.

CoinDirect Exchange and Wallet Adds Dash: CoinDirect will now allow consumers to buy Dash and 43 other cryptocurrencies with fiat currency including through bank transfer, PayPal, TransferWise, and other methods. Users will also be able to exchange between cryptocurrencies on the platform and utilize the wallet to store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies. Consumers can also become a vendor and sell crypto peer-to-peer on the platform. This integration will expand Dash’s reach to Europe, US, Asia, and many African countries, including South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, and Namibia where Dash liquidity is notoriously bad.

CoinLogiq Launches New Way to Send Dash Remittances: “LogiqPay” will allow consumers to easily use their laptop to send Dash and other cryptocurrencies to CoinLogiq ATMs and give the QR code to the desired recipient for them to redeem the money. This feature helps improve remittances by not only harnessing the quickness and inexpensiveness of cryptocurrencies, but also by allowing redemption in fiat, which expands the adoption potential to areas that do not have many crypto-accepting merchants. This adds yet another remittance option to the growing options that Dash users have when wanting to send money abroad.
 
Dash Text Debuts Charity Program, First of Its Kind: Dash Text has launched a charity service where individuals can send Dash via SMS to an address for the money to be evenly distributed to all participants. The service is currently in its pilot with 50 students in need at the San Antonio school in Caracas. So far, there have been around 60 transactions a day that have reportedly been used to purchase over 1,000 lunches and 900 beverages. The service differentiates itself from other charities by giving Venezuelans the tools to achieve their own well-being and maximize their personal utility rather than being dependent on pre-determined food donations.

Crypto Briefing Modifies DARE Report, Upgrades Dash’s Grade: Crypto Briefings’ Digital Asset Report and Evaluation attempts to provide added value to consumers by summarizing and evaluating different cryptocurrencies. The revision of their methodology has resulted in Dash receiving an upgrade to an overall ‘B’ grade, specifically highlighting version 0.13 upgrade, automatic InstantSend, ChainLocks, and Evolution progress. They also discussed the significant adoption that Dash is seeing in Venezuela and Colombia.

Bitrefill Reduces Prices on Venezuelan Vouchers, Works with Dash Text to Circumvent Blackouts: Bitrefill typically pays a premium for mobile topups since they do not have a direct operation in the country, but to help the people in a crisis, Bitrefill is now subsidizing the refills and selling at face value. This is in addition the temporary 10% discount individuals receive for paying in Dash. Bitrefill is also working to integrate Dash Text so individuals can still make purchases even if they do not own a smartphone or when internet services go down within the country. Dash Text has also launched a donation campaign to help give Venezuelans 1,000 free mobile topups.

Dash Text Venezuelan SMS Wallet Continues to Work Despite Blackout: Starting last week, Venezuela experienced severe and wide power blackouts, which limited payment processors including some cryptocurrency payments. However, Dash Text was still enabling individuals to send Dash via SMS text. While Dash Text only operates in Venezuela at the moment, this adversity illustrates how it can provide a simple way for many individuals to spend money; even Wells Fargo in the United States had functionality issues last year.

Equicex Integrates Dash Into Debit Cards and Exchange, Expands Spending Options and Liquidity: Equicex offers both a regular “Blue” cryptocurrency Visa debit card and a “Black” privacy-focused Visa cryptocurrency card to provide consumers a more complete way to spend Dash. The privacy focused card cost more than the Blue card, but since it is provided by an off-shore bank in Belize, applicants do not have to submit identification information to preserve their anonymity. Equicex also offers an exchange that only charges 0.10% fees to make switching between currencies even more affordable. While Dash is significantly increasing adoption around the world, the Equicex integration is helping to bridge the gap until mass adoption occurs for all consumers.

PolisPay Debit Card Expands Consumer Options with Dash Integration: PolisPay, another cryptocurrency debit card solution, has official announced their integration of Dash with their open beta tests. Their goal is to allow consumers to be able to spend cryptocurrency at more merchants using their Mastercard solution so users do not have to wait for direct adoption. Additionally, they have manged to keep costs relatively low since these cards often have their costs subsidized by banks that recover the money through hidden fees elsewhere.

Dash Among Top-3 Performing Cryptocurrencies After Initial Exchange Listing: Exchange pricing data from DataLight shows that Dash is the third largest cryptocurrency performer based on gains from when initially listed, gaining 39,500% and only beaten by Bitcoin (1,300,000%) and Ethereum (68,200%). Conversely, newer coins like Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, and IOTA had a valuation decrease, which could be contributed to over-hyping at launch. Other explanations for the valuation changes could be the length of time required to achieve larger valuations or a maturing market that more accurately prices coins. Additional insights illustrate that providing unique innovations such as Dash’s InstantSend, PrivateSend, DAO, ChainLocks, and more help drive sustainable growth.

Blockchain Data and Analytics Platform BlockChair Adds Dash: Dash joins a select grouping of a few cryptocurrencies on the powerful cryptocurrency blockchain explorer with advanced statistics, filters, charts, and viewing outputs. They are targeting advanced cryptocurrency users, researchers, and casual users with a central repository of unique insights to help shed more light on the advantages and disadvantages of each coin. This integration is the latest outlet where Dash can claim increases in its transparency, in addition to its open treasury and voting model, more regular updates from Dash Core Group, and others.

Dash Text Beta Tests Telegram and WhatsApp Integrations: Dash Text, which enables consumers to easily spend Dash via SMS texting, is now testing a Telegram integration with a WhatsApp integration on the horizon. While the team is still going to focus on SMS transactions, the team recognized the popularity of Telegram and WhatsApp within Venezuela and Venezuelans living abroad and wanted to provide even more ways to send remittances. The beta tests are rolling out slowly to limited Spanish-speaking individuals that request a sign up, but illustrates the significant expansion that Dash has seen throughout Latin America.

CrowdNode Offers Fractional Masternode Voting, Giving Small Dash Holders Voting Rights: The popular Dash Masternode sharing company will now allow fractional Dash masternode holders to vote with the traditional “Yes, No, Abstain”, but also with “Do Nothing” and “Delegate”.  This development will help shift treasury influence from large Dash holders to smaller Dash holders that are unable to acquire the 1,000 Dash for a full Masternode. Crowdnode currently operates 17 Masternodes, and thus, the delegate option has the potential to give even more influence to other individuals on the Crowdnode platform.

OnePageX.com Integrates Dash, Expands Exchange Options: OnePageX.com offers consumers the ability to quickly switch between over 140 cryptocurrencies and recently integrated Dash as an input asset citing Dash’s supportive and robust community as part of the reason. OnePageX.com only charges 0.5% fees on top of network fees and will expand the options that consumers have to move between different cryptocurrencies. Greater consumer choice allows consumers to more quickly discover which product/service is best fitted for their needs, such as Dash’s extremely low transaction fees and extremely fast confirmations without sacrificing security or decentralization.

VegaWallet Comprehensive Platform Adds Dash, First BitGo Integration: VegaWallet is a comprehensive cryptocurrency wallet and merchant solution that recently integrated Dash via BitGo. After Dash had the major integration with BitGo last year, VegaWallet is the first to use BitGo’s multi-signature Dash implementation with InstantSend transactions and plans to develop real world applications for Dash’s Evolution. VegaWallet also supports a merchant POS solution that helps complete the merchant-consumer adoption loop. Additionally, VegaWallet and Dash are holding a design contest for users to design the next Dash theme for the VegaWallet.

Dash Launches New Website Refresh With User Flows, Roadmap: Dash Core Group has launched a new Dash website that features a refreshed look and exhibits all of Dash’s new branding from the ground up. The website is also intended to be a new dynamic stream of information, as opposed to the last website that was more static with only periodic updates. User flow is emphasized in the new website to clearly funnel visitors to their respective categories whether it is individuals, businesses, developers, and/or communities. Finally, the website also features Dash’s new roadmap, which details Dash’s developments and and future milestones, including Evolution.

Dash Trust Protectors Candidate List Released: The Trust Protector Candidates for the Dash DAO Irrevocable Trust has officially been announced. The 6 Trust Protectors that will be elected over the next month will be entrusted with ensuring the Dash Core Group is carrying out the network’s wishes.

What Are Invertible Bloom Lookup Tables?: Check out the second article in a new series from Dash Researcher Darren Tapp where he explores Invertible Bloom Lookup Tables. Bloom filters and IBLTs were both used by Gavin Andresen as a predecessor to the graphene block propagation protocol.

Brazilian Exchange, CoinBene, Expands Liquidity With Dash Integration: CoinBene is based out of Brazil and services over 3 million individuals in more that 150 countries with only a 0.10% trading fee. CoinBene is able to attract users for having the lowest fees in Brazil, but still has a 1.25% fee for fiat withdrawal to a partner bank (Bradesco, Itaú and Santander) and 1.25% + R $ 9 for all other banks. Nevertheless, their integration highlights the importance of liquidity to decrease volatility and increase adoption.

Church’s Chicken Venezuela Offers Special Promotion for Paying With Dash: Church’s Chicken, the global top-four chicken restaurant chain, has been accepting Dash at 10 of their 13 Venezuelan locations and is now offering a promotion of a free side of fries with any purchase of a combo meal if the customer pays with Dash. The integration and promotion demonstrates the ability of Dash’s decentralized organization to cross collaborate since it was a combined effort of Dash Venezuela, Dash Core Business Development Team, and Dash New’s Isabel Barrios to promote the event. The promotion is also important to show how promotions can increase adoption by lowing the switching cost much like AnyPay offers DashBack for Dash payments at select merchants.

ChangeNOW Exchange Integrates Dash, Increases Confidential Trading: ChangeNOW is another cryptocurrency exchange, but enables seamless and quick exchanges between numerous cryptocurrencies without registration, much like Shapeshift used to allow before their membership requirements. They employ a unique algorithm to find the best exchange rate across multiple exchanges and add no fee of their own on top. However, they do ask for KYC/AML information if a transaction is flagged, but the user still retains the ability to decline the request, withdraw all their money, and the cryptocurrency address will be blacklisted. The exchange displays the importance of privacy despite more and more exchanges requiring KYC/AML information and how Dash allows consumers to retain privacy attributes within a single coin since they do not have to conduct exchanges to spend their money at merchants.

Herosphere Enables eSports Betting Via Dash: Dash Embassy D-A-CH recently got the eSports betting site, Herosphere, which currently has over 260,000 registered users and over 120,000 newsletter subscribers to integrate Dash. Herosphere currently supports three games and incentivizes users and game creators by distributing a portion of all winnings to these parties. The integration highlights the importance of creating real use cases so individuals are motivated to use cryptocurrency over other methods of payment.


This has been going on month after month after month for Dash, throughout the whole bearmarket. This all has been strenghtening Dash use case as being an actual usable cryptocurrency, so people can use Dash as digital cash on a global level.
Dash achieves this by keeping its transactions cheap, fast, user-friendly, upscalable, with optional privacy and with support on the ground.

If you can spare lots of money better to do it now, the timing might be so good to risk your money and wait for the bull to run strong, this project already gained lots of support and for sure after seeing the green run from this market more people will come back and show their interest and invest back to this coin, make sure to be ready when the time comes.

The shady instamine will always be a black cloud hanging over Dash. There's much more credible projects out there.

Dash has a presence in mass adoption in Venezuela and other south american countries i feel Dash future is  bright with much of its acceptance in merchants

Dash is now vying for the top spot with monero as the number one privacy coin. Xmr was ahead by a bug margin, now the gap has narrowed with dash going higher in some occasions.

I don't have the hundred percent can't friends about that but if you had the time to make it possible then spending the time will not be waste this is that thing that I have to say in this time about this.

you can prefer other coins rather than dash. dash is good but not best.
you can buy btc in long term. it is best choice.

Privacy coins are having some values in the mining and trading field. Well in that DASH, Monero and Zcash.

For the short term investment, these coins really do not make any sense while go for trading side. They always goes to cheap coins which can give the bigger profit in coming hour or day.

I didn't even think Dash was too good when the value of dash didn't have outstanding improvement for a long time, a lot of new crypto appeared and started to encroach on the market of dash, dash is just past and outdated, so obvious when it's not talked about too much, long-term investments in dash will not be a good idea. We have a better and more perfect list for that, lots of topics about those lists, some very prominent crypto in the list like BNB, XRP, Bitcoin, ETH, it may be good long-term investments

this depends on how faithful the dash community to the project as i know dash has one the most reliable community in the crypto space good luck for all dash supporters :)

Today, there are a lot of coins and altcoins on the cryptocurrency market, which are valuable only if investors, speculators and traders are interested in it.  It is in this case that the price of coins can really fluctuate very strongly with a large amplitude.  But you have to look at the perspective and consider the public interest in Dash Coin.

well, dash is the best crypto with masternode
if we talk about masternode, i think the first coins in our mind is dash
dash still be a good choice for long term investments and if we run a masternode in this crypto, we will get passive earning too my friend
regards

Dash is an old coin that I still hold for more than 4 years since I bought it, when the price of about $3 (2015) I bought around 200 Dash and now I still have 120 Dash, I'm sure that prices will continue to rise and can reach $ 500 if the bitcoin price reaches $ 15000.

You can still make a profit on dash coin but off course when Bull run comes, Unlike bitcoin you may or you may not get the amount you expected. because right now there is so tight competition among the other coins in the market. But if you are lucky and Dash coin will rise in the future then no doubt, you will get what you hodl for.

It has already began and many enthusiasts are beginning to appreciate the speed and reliability that comes with DASH.
