The fact we are talking about it in such terms means it is working.

People irl will do the same. That's the genius of this. Making it a talking point in a coffee shop, over dinner, on the bus, etc, means people are talking about the output of the technology (cash but over the internet) without needing to talk about the detail of the technology (mining, master nodes, etc).

It also means DASH owns the digital cash space in the minds of ordinary people.

Genius.
