Thats a good story and is not disimilar similar to my own. I've owned just about every significant coin going in my time - lost count of them all.
However the pursuit of optimal fungibility in a public blockchain was the kind of holy grail marriage of monetary properties that made it worth valuing Dash in Dash rather than in Bitcoin
Wow, someone who really just gets it, nice...
"Back in August I became concerned with bitcoin's future and that is when I started looking hard at Ethereum. At that time it was just starting to get a little attention but I felt that it had a lot of great potential because of the way it executed smart contracts so I began investing in and mining Ethereum. As we know Ethereum started getting a large buzz, made a lot of gains and all was well.....for a time.
Then there was the DAO. Which actually was a good thing! Not because of what it was intended for but because the hack of the DAO brought to light how the founders and developers of Ethereum are willing to suggest forking, to change their "immutable" blockchain, to blacklist addresses, and do it in the name of morality when it's all driven by conflicts of interest and to prevent personal losses and possibly create monetary gains. All the while believing that large financial and tech firms will be ok with them doing this because of one, single contract.
Again, this was a GOOD thing! Why? Because it made me look at Dash again, which I hadn't since it was Dark Coin. I was intrigued when I saw /u/Amanda_B_Johnson had given up the Daily Decrypt to go head first into Dash and I wanted to watch the videos and dig more into Dash to find out why. What I saw was a crypto currency that has stood the test of time, is more stable and has a democratic way of deciding protocol changes instead of the anarchy that has been seen in both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
With that I'm proud to say that I am now a Dasher and full on member of the Dash community, a real community for a coin with real substance and not just a hyped up technology/coin for traders to make a buck off from it's bubbles. "
