Someone pushing the price of Dash to $2
Key indicator of long-term investors trust is the number of Masternodes.
And this number is growing:

(downtrend in the end of August is the V11 -> V12 protocol change)
What about current price... it is quite illusory - It's impossible to buy any significant amount at this price.
If you try to buy any significant amount (even a pair % of whole Masternode network) - it will grow up dramatically.
Current low price is just for some clever people who is accumulating DASH (from miners basically) for the next DASH "round"...
Dash - it is the good possibility for long-term investors, not for those ones who "should have time to sell one more altcoin before it will be ruined".

I keep my eyes glued to DASH Ninja - masternode list, and indeed, I see an increase of new masternode coming online. A very healthy indicator of people interested in what DASH has delivered.
