BTC vs ETH vs Dash?

[coingrow]

If you were looking for the fastest transacting blockchain today available then you have missed it. Its waves. Currently it can take up more transaction per min than any other blockchain out there.

of course I choose bitcoin than others. Well, among all the coins, bitcoin is the coin that has the greatest potential on the internet. even bitcoin always competes with big companies. other coins always pursue a place to replace bitcoin.

I have bitcoin and ethereum in my different crypto wallet but I don't have dash i never experience with this coins. This two cryptocurrency the btc and eth was always top of my priority because I know it is more profitable, this high valued coins I always hunt by joing signaturecampaign from bitcointalk. Ethereum transactions are going accurate and fast, but there are platforms that are working harder than the others also it has a smart contract.

Out of the three options, I'd say that ETH is by far the best choice. Even though BTC is a descent invesment as well. Most people are invested in BTC, because it was the first crypto token and has the pioneer or leader advantage. Dash for example should not be one of your investments, because it fulfills the same purpose of Bitcoin (the transfer of value). ETH from the other hand offers much more than just value transfer, you can basically program (smart contracts) to do whatever you want with cryptocurrencies, many are developing services/products and applications using this platform and it's the most popular by now. ETH is a great hedge against BTC and BTC against ETH because they are fullfilling different purposes and market needs, since DASH is sharing the same market needs as BTC, I'd say that it's not worthy of your money.

Ethereum is much better than Bitcoin - it's a fact!

From all 3,eth is best .then come dash then btc.btc is primary cryptocurrency so it is popular everywhere and it is used by the most retailer or company but it doesn't have any backing i.e project to be based on.while dash is still growing.but best blockchain out of 3 is eth as they working on it and ethereum blockchain is widely accepted by big mnc.

Ethereum has a lot of advantages in terms of the project itself, but bitcoin took the world by storm and a lot of the original vision of Satoshi didn't happened because its not treated as store of wealth by most of us, specially big time investors. While Ethereum with its smart contract design is the new revolution, however not many company wants to apply it and they rather used the ever reliable blockchain chain technology which is safe and very secured for data storage, because its impossible to manipulate once the data is already on the blocks.

really a block for Bitcoin is very long-time but I think from Ethereum vs BTC vs Dash the fastest is Ethereum.

[truncus]

number one is always bitcoin. Ethereum in number two. the rest is not important.

Dash uses 'Instasend', so Dash would be faster.

Also i see alot of people calling Dash a scam coin. i do see it had a rocky start, but i like the governance, coin supply and the instasend. its easy to use.
And some dude claimed they were spending alot on marketing. Like that is a bad thing? Everybody is too focused on the specifics, but to get adoption you must think from the consumer perspective. wich currently is: I want to hear alot about it, it must be easy to obtain.

anyway regarding the first post.

BTC is becoming in my eyes, only for speculation and like the digital gold. there will be no real world use for it because it is slow, high fees and you need to have like 95% consensus for changes. That shit is way too slow to adopt to a fast developing market.

ETH, beautifull. However i do believe it could go both ways with emerging improved applications.

[visixom]

of the three have their respective characters, and their respective communities, bitcoin as a foundation that became known to the public got first choice for me.
where as etherum got the second sequence because many projects are developed through this platfrom.
while  dash has not really understood the development of the coin, but from the three options above I will place dash in third place, because I see bitmain also produce antminer D3. Perhaps the future dash is more developed.

Although Dash is a pretty famous coin, but now dash is so far behind from both of them. Most ICOs only accept ETH and BTC sometimes LTC is also accepted and what about Dash? Nothing.

1) Any main differences within them and what's their best strength against each other?

2) As i know block time for BTC is averaging at 10 minute and recently if you sent not enough fees your transaction takes really long time.
I remember i read an article about ETH transaction just take within 15 seconds and the opposite will receive, is that true? I only uses BTC to transact.
How about Dash?

Thanks!

I think when you talk about a coin, you can't just focus on it's technology features. You must always look at it's community, it's dev team and their long term goals. I like dash but their goal is to become a payment method, and they just don't have enough liquidity of support from the market in order to accomplish that. You can't become a payment method without enough liquidity, because you will just be to volatile. Who wants to pay with dash, even though it was fast, and it had low fees, and then just see it's price go up and see that they just "lost money" on that purchase.

This is where bitcoin excels, if you compare it to any other coins. Bitcoins want's to become a valuable asset first, and then given it's technology, will probably become a payment method or a global currency as well. Things need to be done in that order, and not the other way around.

As for ether, their goal is to act as a platform to allow investments for new projects. They could become a payment method, but I don't think they want that.

So for your first question, I would say that bitcoin and ether have a clear purpose, and are following it in the right direction. Dash also has a clear purpose, but are not pursuing it correctly (I would say that is the same problem with bcash for example).

As for technology, yes, dash allow faster transactions now, and has lowers fees etc, but that doesn't make it better than bitcoin or ethereum. BTC and Ether, will solve those issues in the long term (with lightning network and raiden network respectively), so I would invest on them, and not on dash.

All coins that want to be act as payment methods are overpriced right now in my opinion, expect for LTC.

stable DASH is built like Bitcoin but with upgraded technology !!!

This three coins has an individual potential, there will always be a one coin that will become ahead to others and that is bitcoin. Bitcoin is the first currency and more profitable than others, because of its price. That's why it still the number one coin. The two coin has also a potential but not now. Maybe in the future, so lets all see if this two coins will surpass bitcoin or not.
