Typical profit-hungry people's mindset: if the price is high, it's probably a good coin so let's buy it! Apparently, price =/ coin quality. There are far too many shitcoin that has been pumped to the moon without serious development and enthusiastic community backing it up. I personally like the dedication of the devs of DASH and the DASH community itself because even if there are serious allegations in their coin, they still continue to support and dedicate their efforts into making DASH a better crypto and backed with an awesome community.
This is one of best comments I saw lately about alt coins. I believe that is exactly a way to make big things: dedication, effort, energy, time. Invest this things in anything after some time there will be results. Of course there will be troubles and bed moments, big things doesn't come easily.
