[ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

[qwizzie]

So much potential for Dash to grow, where will Dash price be at the end of 2020 ? By the way, the chart clearly prints a golden cross on the weekly interval.
This is a typical bullish indicator, 2017 also had such an indicator right before Dash mega-pump. Will history repeat itself ? Stay tuned....

Dash is often compared to Bitcoin, but Dash Believes they are better than Bitcoin

There is no belief. Dash is the better digital cash system and technical superior in that field.
For a time Bitcoins aim was to be a store of value. Useless as such for the world but that is what the current bitcoin core devs wanted.
Lightening and such planted on an intentional limited base just makes the whole system worse and not better.

As promised, here is the whitepaper for a potential Dash marketing campaign tagline and slogan. It features analysis into Dash's strengths and weaknesses, and how we can take the two and turn it into a powerful message and community strategy to promote Dash, not just from a capital investment standpoint, but also from a human investment standpoint.

I look forward to the communities input on this before any potential next steps around this campaign.

Are we bullish yet?

I've posted a bit of technical analysis lately on the dash versus bitcoin pair and thought it time for a bit of a follow up.

On the monthly chart, using polo because it has good range of historical data. this is what I'm looking at. Note I nearly always use a log scale. Its just what I prefer.  

Monthly Chart

So observations on that: Two green candles in a row is good and bullish (I'm using Heikin Ashi  candles btw). Last time that happened was nearly a year ago but this looks stronger. Also It looks like a good bounce off the bottom of a large channel with support going back as far as 2015 or earlier. Also the MACD indicator on this scale looks like it is ready to swing upwards, there should be a golden cross soon. On this 'long term' view it looks like it could be shaping up to be a sea change era for dash to be stronger than bitcoin.

But zooming in to a 4hr view provides a good look at the immediate hurdle that needs to be overcome in the near term..  

4hr Chart

We can see that Dash is facing resistance on the top trend line of  a bearish channel it has been trapped in  for a couple of years now. Despite strong bullish moves and consolidation Dash has not yet managed to break above the top of that bear channel.

So now the speculation part. It looks like the crypto market might be turning bullish, Dash on the leading edge of that. Dash has climbed quite a few market places on coinmarketcap in this year to date.

However Dash has still not broken free of a bear channel it has been in for two years.  The question is. Is Dash consolidating after a big rise ready for the next one to finally break above the bear channel, or will Dash fail to start a new bullish trend and merely trade within a larger horizontal range it has been in almost since it's inception? Or worse, is Dash going to stay in this bear channel its been in for two years and plunge to new depths (maybe following peercoin into the realms of obscurity).

1wk Chart

The reason I mention Peercoin is the worrying aim that the CEO of dash core group has for Dash which is to steer Dash towards a future leaning more towards (the failed imo) model of proof of stake.  Ryan Taylor is a very influencial person in Dash and could take us (imo) in the complete wrong direction if his aweful idea gains enough traction. Proof of stake has not worked as judged by the likes of peercoin and blackcoin which were once contenders to bitcoins crown (peercoin was no 3 in market cap at its peak) but now languish in the forgotten realms of crypto graveyard. Lets not let Ryan Taylor steer dash in that direction, and leave Dash unmolested free to once again scale some new bullish heights

Ryan Taylor is not pushing for a future leaning towards a model of Proof of Stake. He already mentioned this a couple of times now. He just introduced the Proof of Stake option
as the most extreme option out there, and currently also the option with severe security concerns (ChainLocks is not secure enough to take over Proof of Work, due to the fact that BLS
signatures can fail).

These are all the options that he laid out for discussion and investigation for the Dash community :

What Ryan Taylor is actually pushing for (to my understanding) is the option of Masternodes Shares, which is not only different from Proof of Stake but also something many Dash community
members have been requesting for a very long time now. In my opinion it is way better to have a trustless form of masternodes shares (fully supported by Dash Core Group), then to
see users switch to centralized shared masternode providers, where you have to place trust in those providers and where all kind of things can go wrong (example moocowmoo).

Also be informed that he wants to have Arizona State University do extensive research first and he also wants to consult several blockchain experts, this is certainly not something Dash
will rush into overnight.    

What all these options do have in common is that they will effect the miners reward if they get choosen, as a part of the miners reward will then slowly (over time) flow into one of these options.
The reason that these options became available in the first place is because of ChainLocks, we don't need to give to miners almost half of the block reward (45%) anymore
to secure the network. Which gives us options to improve Dash store of value. How we choose to deal with those options is up to us, important thing is that they are getting discussed.

[afbitcoins]

All of Ryan Taylor's options lean towards proof of stake. He does say full proof of stake the most extreme option but all other options he presents go in the same direction which is to varying degrees of crippling pow in favour of proof of stake economics, bribing users, or as he puts it offsetting inflation or something.

I have never yet heard a compelling reason why more proof of stake is going to make dash go in the opposite direction than happened to other proof of stake coins and go up in value instead of down, way down.

Ryan Taylor has come up with this 'existential threat' and new economics out of desperation at the bottom of a bear market. If he gets his way and moves dash away from proof of work he may block the recovery which is already in the pipeline.

These are options that will come into play years from now, i doubt they will effect this current market cycle.
Personally i like seeing trustless masternode shares. Evan Duffield promised this years and years ago, we now
may actually get it.

Thanks for reading! It felt good to get this off my chest.

Great news! PolisNodes now accepts DASH as a currency payment! DASH can also be used with the POLIS Debit Card as a real currency anywhere in the world.

2020 will be the year cryptocurrencies will become more and more mainstream!

I noticed your thread on Dash Reddit on this same topic has been deleted, which in my opinion is a form of censorship.
I created a Dash Reddit thread to sense how people view censorship on Dash Reddit, feel free to comment in there as well

Thanks, @qwizzie. Although I do feel I’ve been censored, I’m confident that enough people saw my piece to get my point across. My ban on Dash Talk (while undeserved) will be temporary. I consider the matter closed.

[JollyGood]

I doubt he will respond. I asked him a simple question about why he was promoting Whitebit (a known scam) but he refused to answer. He wants to promote his videos that is all that interests him so he posts here.

I ask the DASH team to pay attention to the youtube channel CryptoFateev, Vasya BTC, HODL.
These are great bloggers, traders, and helpers!
The bull market is starting and these guys are still silent about DASH.
WHY???
In Russia, the financial situation is no better than in Venezuela, only more money!
DASH, Don't be stupid!!!

You're definitely right about that. All we can do is get the word out as best we can. We don't get much help from independent YouTubers, that's for sure.
