Dash has intentionally starved it's supply by both cutting emissions and utilizing master nodes. It played the cut supply (not increase demand) angle of the game. It's reached its full potential
The reason Dash is rising and is simple.
It is the only bitcoin commercially compatible, pure currency clone that is pursuing a true
cash model of electronic money by enhancing bitcoin's monetary properties while supporting a transparent blockchain at the same time.
A monetary medium that is at once:
- transparent
- immediate (in terms of exchange)
- scales natively without recourse to a scaffolded superstructure
- enhances fungibility natively without recourse to obfuscation
i.e. "Cash" in it's most native form that even complies with
emerging mainstream definitions.
It also is finding vindication of the various technical approaches it's taken over the last couple of years because that approach has singularly preserved the most important aspect of its original design - total bitcoin compatability in terms of POW mining paradigm and commercial interface - by means of articulating the blockchain protocol to support 2nd logic tier that's both integrated and independent.
That's what's enabled it to unleash the decentralised governance mechanism that's now attracting loads of
high quality candidate programmes.
As for "restricting supply", Dash has established what I call a "
reserve currency market" that's no different from sticking your money in a bank and getting a return on it. It isn't restricting supply at all, it's called doing something for people. It's them that's "restricting the supply" by not dumping it.
Holders that get these type of notifications flying across their desktop every few days are simply less inclined to send their coins to market:
It seems to be proving popular. This trend
remains unbroken for a full 18 months now and shows no signs of letting up. It's a virtuous cycle because holders are getting a return, the network's getting ever stronger and the roadmap that's being implemented is becoming ever more credible.
Whatever amounts of technical FUD gets thrown at it, monetary researchers observe that Dash is a highly advanced financial medium - almost uncontested according to some.
