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.
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 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.
