Dash Text Venezuelan SMS Wallet Continues to Work Despite BlackoutDash SMS wallet Dash Text was reportedly continuing to work in Venezuela during major power outages affecting the country. Read more here (including a video) : https://dashnews.org/dash-text-venezuelan-sms-wallet-continues-to-work-despite-blackout/Starting Thursday of last week, the entire country has experienced power and service outages, which has resulted in a nationwide crisis including looting, compounding the economic hardships and turmoil affecting the country. Resulting from the blackouts, internet service has been largely inaccessible, rendering payments services, including cryptocurrency, difficult to use. However, Dash Text, a Dash wallet which uses SMS messages to trigger on-chain Dash transactions, has reportedly continued to work despite the harsh conditions, allowing Venezuelans to continue to send and receive money, including in and out of the country.

Dash Among Top-3 Performing Cryptocurrencies After Initial Exchange ListingRead more here : https://dashnews.org/dash-among-top-3-performing-cryptocurrencies-after-initial-exchange-listing/According to U.Today, exchange pricing data pulled from DataLight show the top largest gainers from their initial exchange listing price to be, in order, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dash. These three grew past their initial listing price by 1.3 million percent, 68,200,000%, and 39,500,000%, respectively. More than regular year-on-year growth over time, these statistics reflect the discrepancy between initial exchange valuations and current rates, singling out those who began trading as under-hyped, rather than over-hyped, projects. An additional factor specifically regarding Bitcoin may be the relative underdevelopment of the cryptocurrency exchange world in 2010 when the first trading pairs appeared. Credits : NibiruHybrid Source : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg50134793#msg50134793Above article connects nicely with with my own little research i did today, when i was checking the Return On Investment (ROI) between 2015 and 2018 of diverse crypto projects (mostly crypto projects in the top 15 of coinmarketcap) : https://messari.io/onchainfxDash consistently scores higher ROI over the years (2018 the exception), and has turned more profitable in 2015, 2016 and 2017 then Bitcoin and some other altcoins. 2018 shows the arrival of new (hyped) projects entering the market, it will be interesting to see if they can maintain growing year on year ROI now that the hype has faded for these new crypto projects. The article also goes into the found link between frequent cryptocurrency trading and problem gambling, which strenghten my idea that longterm investing in a crypto project that has good use cases and clear development progress is investment wise more sound, then going into altcoins trading with the idea of trading those to Bitcoin. You often see Bitcoin maximalists proudly stating that they just trade altcoins, in order to increase their Bitcoin assets, when looking back it could have been more wise to just hold onto some of these altcoins longterm because of their history of year on year growing ROI. Dash still has some surprise moves up its sleeves (Dash Evolution, Developing Additional Use Cases and Services, Dash Ventures, Merchant and User adoption in Latin America), that should see a further market evaluation for Dash in the near future. Which should lead to higher ROI again for Dash....

Bitrefill Reduces Prices on Venezuelan Vouchers, Works with Dash Text to Circumvent BlackoutsBitrefill has lowered its prices for refills in Venezuela to subsidize mobile phone top-ups, and begun integrating Dash Text, to help in the face of nationwide blackouts. Bitrefill offers a variety of vouchers and gift cards, as well as mobile phone top-ups, for cryptocurrency. During recent power and internet blackouts in Venezuela, the company noticed a sharp uptick in purchases from that country from customers using cryptocurrency to refill their mobile phone credit, as cellular service has remained operational during the blackouts. In a recent post, Bitrefill outlined a pricing reduction to help alleviate the situation:
“Our team held a meeting to see if there were any ways we could help. We reviewed tweets from Venezuelans teaching each other how to get reconnected using top-ups from Bitrefill.com. We also saw some concern about the pricing of our Venezuelan telecom products.
We don’t have a direct connection in Venezuela and thus we pay a premium above the face value to acquire refills there. We were already selling these products at cost, but we decided to subsidize these products and reduce the selling price to face value, so until further notice, refills in Venezuela will be priced at face value according to the LocalBitcoins.com BTCVES rate.”
Bitrefill currently supports payments in a variety of cryptocurrencies, including Dash, with instant voucher delivery with InstantSend transactions. Additionally, a 10% temporary discount is offered when paying with Dash.

Possible U.S. Sanctions on Visa and Mastercard in Venezuela Highlight Need for Decentralized MoneyThe United States government is considering the option to put sanctions on Visa, Mastercard, and other financial institutions to curtail the power of the Maduro regime.
The intended goal of the potential policy is “to deprive the illegitimate Maduro regime of access to funds and deny their ability to continue stealing from the Venezuelan people”. This would add to the previous sanctions on state-owned oil company PDVS that were instituted after the U.S. and other countries recognized the opposition leader, Juan Guaido, as the country’s interim president. This is just the latest desire by U.S. officials to curtail other individuals’ actions by leveraging the financial system oligopoly. The most famous previous example was when the U.S. government cutout Wikileaks from the financial system by sending a letter, which some considered blackmail, to different payment processors that made it was a “straightforward” decision. This action ultimately led Wikileaks to use cryptocurrencies. These financial blockades usually end up hurting average individuals since wealthy individuals usually have the means to evade the common financial transaction methods, such as physically delivering payments. Even though the U.S. wants to spare the average Venezuelan, they will mostly feel the affects as many state-owned and connected businesses that still provide a minor amount of liquidity would now be disconnected from the world. Thus, average Venezuelans have a high probability of being hurt the most as they will have an even harder time purchasing vital goods and services.
Cryptocurrencies provide an alternative for these individuals escaping the intentional and unintentional effects of governments no matter how good the policies’ initial intentions. Dash has been working hard to get significant direct merchant adoption to empower individuals by no longer needing to rely on the banking system that can be controlled by foreign powers with alternative interests.

WinstantPay Integrates Dash InstantSend Solving Key Merchant Adoption BarrierWinstantPay is a global payment network, which has been “serving financial institutions of all sizes for the last 18 years with financial services, software development, and business support”, recently integrated Dash.

This amount will then be exchanged by WinstantPay and deposited into the merchants’ linked bank account for around a 1% transaction and conversion fee. This helps solve the key barrier to adoption that many merchants are afraid to get into cryptocurrencies because of the exchange rate risk, as highlighted by Rob Grantham, Chief Executive Officer of WinstantPay.
