In the last 6 months POLIS went almost from 0 to having a working product. It is now possible to pay with crypto with the PolisPay app in places like Amazon, Starbucks, Steam and mobile providers in over 100 countries. Plus they have a working debit card that can be charged with POLIS and you can pay with it anywhere in the world where they accept VISA or Mastercard (this is still in the testing phase and is limited to 500 people but it will be available worldwide in a couple of months).



DASH on the other hand has over 63% of the masternode market + it is more and more popular in countries like Venezuela and South Africa where people start to use it in their daily life.


So what do you think? Can POLIS surpass DASH and become nr. 1 in the payment industry?

POLIS is good & underrated but out of the radar when compared to Dash. Actually nothing can be compared to Dash even Bitcoin itself. Dash is great & will always be the best privacy coin out there.
POLIS lacks the power of being listed & trading into one of the major exchanges (Binance, Kucoin, oKex ...) for more exposure among the crypto community.

I never heard about POLIS before, however, I would say that DASH has already established itself in the industry so it will be very difficult to just topple someone here in crypto specially as far as payment system is concern. Bitcoin is still there, together with ETH, which lately have been gaining grounds as well to be a payment system Reddit: Why not bitcoin? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5239912.0).

And as pointed out by @CryptoCrawler_2017, to be able to gain traction in the community, perhaps POLIS needs to be listed on top tier exchanges.

No, unfortunately not! DASH is a huge name in the altcoin world. POLIS is not even ranked within the 300 altcoins. It has so much to grow in order to be near what DASH has contributed. It is too far from competing DASH.

1st.

This is also the very first time that I've heard about Polis.

2nd.

The feature that it offers isn't different from the existing and third party services that we have today.

3rd.

Why compare something we don't even heard of to Dash which is commonly known and popular ever since?

I used to know about POLIS when they have included deepOnion. Before that I had no idea about it however, since they are allowing card and payment in some good sites, they can surpass DASH. DASH has much use in Africa but worldwide, not so far.

Honestly its my first time to heard about this altcoin POLIS its not even listed in top 100 coins in CMC so in my opinion it cannot surpass DASH for now.

It's different, because with the PolisPay app if you want to buy something from Amazon, you just pay with crypto and you don't even need to do KYC. If you want to buy something from your local shop you just instant charge your fiat VISA Card with crypto at the market price and go buy things anywhere they accept VISA or Mastercard.


This will make DASH's Point of Sale system obsolete...

Can you explain what is a masternode market and what that have that to do with payment industry?

Probably true! But both of these cryptos are very useful when it comes to real world use. You can order a prepaid card from both which opens up a big opportunity to spend cryptos in real life. But Dash is old and more famous than Polis at this moment so it is very unlikely that Polispay will be able to defeat Dash right at this moment. But both services are highly usefull in real world.

Earlier crypto adopters know that literally anything can be possible to happen when it comes to cryptocurrencies. If Polis gets to have a working product with nice specs, you can expect it to rise to the top 100-200 cryptos. Maybe it gets an even closer-to-the-throne rank, who knows?

Early sub-$0.5 DASH inverstors probably never expected the project to go that well. I imagine how amazing it was for them to witess the rise to +$1.6k. It all goes down to the way a project looks after years of its launch and development. Lots of factors, obviously, but the free hard work of the devs gets paid one day very well if it's a proven success.

OP is a paid shill. All of his posts are about this piece of garbage shitcoin called POLIS.

Having said that, DASH is 10000x beter than POLIS.

Guys, stay away froms this poocoin. Also, add OP to your ignore lists to avoid his shill posts.

POLIS cannot surpass Dash payment.
1. There's more in cryptocurrency than what we see daily. Dash has come a long way for a new token to surpass its achievements.
2. What does POLIS offer that Dash has not offered or is not offering.
Check Dash track record and compare it with polis then you can decide.

Ok, I get the point of what you have explained but that's what I think and it won't change so sorry about that.

And with your competition with Dash, well, good luck with that. That one has a strong foundation, I bet you know.

I know, i invested in DASH in 2016, but i don't like DASH's Point of Sale system. It will only work in Africa...

I have just read about PolisPay. So, the use case is for empowering payment and empowering master-nodes, right? It is also tradable on some exchanges and have been listed on CMC, rank 383 with Volume (24h) around $4,551.55 USD. Good enough, moreover, now, it also follows the uptrend, so the price is rising well if seen from the chart.

From what I have read, we can use the PolisPay App with crypto to buy the Giftcards and get the products in those merchants.

Actually, this use case is very interesting, moreover it has existed with some giftcards that are able to be used in the popular merchants.

However, if you say
I am not sure if Polispay can easily rival Dash. because, Dash itself has been well established and it has a large community. In addition, in the crypto world, sometimes the popularity of a coin is crucial. If PolisPay can enter rank 20 in CMC, it might be able to compete with Dash. But for now, I don't think so.

Though I have heard Polis before but it doesn't come close to the popularity of Dash. They will have a long journey to even compete with Dash in the market. Just looking the overview between Dash and Polis in CMC will give you idea how far they are -

Dash - Rank 20 vs. Rank 384

https://i.ibb.co/jbd6jNN/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-7-28-52-AM.png vs. https://i.ibb.co/5FnJgJt/Screen-Shot-2020-04-15-at-7-29-24-AM.png

I am not considering the markets that they are listed with. But if you will check both of them. Dash has a lot as compared to few exchanges for Polis. So nope, right now, Polis has a lot of things to do to even achieve half the popularity of dash.

I know at the moment DASH is more popular, but when it comes to development and adoption POLIS has achived more in the last 6 months then DASH did in the last 2 years. If POLIS will release a worldwide working VISA card then i think POLIS will fly past DASH in less then a year from now.

Polis is a crap coin but im feeling curious about who people called dash to be the number 1 payment in the crypto industry? It looks like a joke mate. Dash never became the best payment in the crypto industry.
POLIS is still a crap coin and it's not comparable with dash

Yes, DASH is number 1 in the payment industry, and no other coin has the same level of adoption.


And why do you say POLIS is a crap coin? In the last 3 months they made a working product and most likely they will be a huge competition for DASH in the near future. Just take a look at this:

https://medium.com/@PolisBlockchain/polis-project-q1-recap-01-01-to-03-31-ba6a4ab60f31 (https://medium.com/@PolisBlockchain/polis-project-q1-recap-01-01-to-03-31-ba6a4ab60f31)

There is nothing wrong if Polis devs have the believes and determination to be the first payment industry we have in crypto currency and today.
The only wrong is that, No token should aim to surpass dash, instead developers are supposed to be focused on how to improve the world adoption of crypto currency by providing a product superior and more efficient that existing products; that way, everything gets surpassed easily without competition.

To round off my note, this is the first time i am seeing anything related to Polis, Dash remains the best in its league, with respected exchange listing and volume.
Always do your own research.

Am just getting to know about POLIS today but DASH I have known for a long time. From your post, POLIS looks like or is a potential token growing gradually with prospects of becoming massive, but comparing to a coin like DASH which has been in existence for long with good products and services is way off because DASH is the better and most trusted one. DASH has pitched its platform to be exceptional therefore to be overtaken by a coin still growing and not among top 100 in CMC (currently rank 387) won't be happening anytime soon.

I agree 100% with you. And i think that in a couple of months they will do what no other crypto did, and that is to make a product that anyone can use, not just crypto enthusiasts. Just look at this:


https://medium.com/@PolisBlockchain/polis-project-q1-recap-01-01-to-03-31-ba6a4ab60f31 (https://medium.com/@PolisBlockchain/polis-project-q1-recap-01-01-to-03-31-ba6a4ab60f31)

DASH is a great project but not a privacy coin. Coinmixing is not really anonymity and easy to track by authorities.

Polis can never be close to DASH whatsoever though :)

Gonna have to correct you on that one: coin mixing is actually one of the best ways to anonymize your transactions if used the right way. Exchanges have recently started to even block wallets of users using mixers due to the lack of possibility for authorities/exchanges to track the mixed coins down or reverse search them.

This thread isn't about privacy though, but quite the opposite.. privacy isn't part of the focus when it comes to cards for payments.

Coinmixing is extremely difficult to track, but the ultimate goal of DASH is not privacy. They want to have real-life use cases and to provide a fully-decentralized payments solution.

POLIS is a good project no doubt at least from recent developments but surpassing a project like DASH will be a huge task for their team. It is quite easy to surpass an upcoming project than one which has been in inception and developing for years (like DASH) and not only that, one which is among top 100 in coinmarketcap let alone DASH which is among top 50. Also, even at that, DASH is already looking for more ways to improve which will also make it more harder for POLIS to catch up with it not to talk of surpassing it.

The price or the position on the list is ok to look at and compare, but when you look at the volume it's lik David fighting Goliath. Maybe if Dash dies for some reason or gets banned here and there, or has some critical bug Polis can overtake it but with that volume there's obviously not much interest in this coin.

I heard about this coin because I was for a time interested in PoS coin but most of those coins are pure speculation with no real use. They can claim to have partnerships and such but there's a long way from enabling payments to people using them.

Literally every single post you have made on this forum is about POLIS. You are obviously a shill account and nothing more.

Nothing you say should be misconstrued as insightful or valuable, since you are just here to shill your absolute trash alternative to DASH.

The answer to your question is NO.

Any project that needs to shill itself on forums to achieve some semblance of recognition has absolutely no chance of toppling DASH.

Most of my posts are about POLIS and DASH because i love projects with a use case. I invested in DASH in 2016 and all i can say is that cryptocurrencies would not be what they are today without DASH.

And the funny thing is that most of the people who say that POLIS is a "shillcoin" will end up using a POLIS product in the not so distant future. And i am not from the POLIS staff or anything like that. The reason i post is to help people get on the next big train early, not when it will be 50$+

I too never heard or read about this coin, but checking their data on Coingecko they are a long way compared to Dash, Dash is fully established coin in the market, and it's not traded in a good exchange they have a good price and low supply but unfortunately not much trading volume, but anyway thanks for posting this is a good awareness.

I am just gonna view this whole thread as good advertisement for Dash.
Thank you OP.

DASH does not need any advertisment. It's one of the best cryptocurrencies. I can't belive it's rank is 18 on coinmarketcap and there are some cryptos above it with no utility at all...

I have looked the whole internet but could not find any reference for the POLIS coin and it's use in amazon or any of these services. These fraud claims only defames the project and brings no yield. But with everyone with a username and no verification of individuals, the OP could even be intending to defame the project or is trying to increase his blog viewership.
