Dash is by far the biggest gainer in the entire ecosystem. While BTC gets a lot of press simply due to it/s massive individual price, Dash has been gaining on it all year. So far BTC has gained 1700%. While Dash has gone up 8770% since January 1st. Ethereum is just behind it.
Actually, I just calculated and Ethereum gains have gone over 10,000%. So Ethereum is in the lead. But the year is not over. Let's see on December 31 who has posted the biggest gains by %.
Dash is almost there at the $1k mark. It will be able to topple that over pretty easily in my opinion.
The movement of Dash was generated mostly in January, when the all time high in bitcoin was hit. After that the price didn't really go anywhere, it just sort of stayed at a similar spot for a while, while bitcoin went up and brought the fiat pricing up as well.
It'll be interesting to see whether Dash can break 0.1 BTC again, because $1k is easily going to be hit. Personally i think that dash has a fair chance of setting a new all time high before the new year starts.
