Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash | First Anonymous Coin | Inventor of X11, DGW, Darksend and InstantX
I only mined up about 1500 coins, buying the rest I needed for my second masternode. 1000 coins, my son bought at my suggestion at over $4 a coin. That's how it goes. If I had money I'd be buying up like crazy. (we're broke, except for what I initially invested - then luckily, was able to pull out and pay back again - then spent on bills, and I mean broke) My sister buys us ground beef at costco, my mom slips me $5 every once in a while so I can buy myself a coveted diet coke because it's not in the budget. It's seriously sad over here, but we survive and are holding on to our dilapidated old house, yaay! But the last thing I'd do is complain, because this is so exciting and awesome and I got in on it! It's wonderful! If I had $6k, and discovered Dash now, I'd invest immediately. and that's the truth!
I'm not quite sure if it would be healthy to wish you to end up a new DASH-illionaire because I do not see your approach as being any different that that of a Gambler. (Dostoyevsky's Gambler http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2197, that is)
But than, it would be unfair. You shared your situation and your hopes and who am I to doubt you? I can only take what you wrote - I am aware this might sound awfully cynical but honest to god I am feeling sad and not cynical at all - as an investment advice. As much as you told your son to buy at $4.00 and caused him a paper loss of 41% thus far, your suggestion to buy now ("if I had...") tells me I have to wait until the price is well below 0.01 BTC before buying more.
DASH might end up being the best financial tool that there is, I don't doubt its potential, but it will not replace any other forms of money that are out-there, not during our life spans. It might end up being co-opted in the overall financial structure of this world or be destroyed. Most likely outcome - it will be one of the many financial tools, alongside the dollar or whatever comes after it, BTC or whatever comes after it, or gold, milk, cell phone minutes or anything else one human is willing to exchange with another...
If you'd want to be both philosophical and productive, think of the origins of the money. The debit is in the very core of the idea of money and its very existence and try to fit the DASH into that wast equation...
Not really gambling, at least not with any money, as I've returned the money I had purchased my ~500 coins with, but I did talk my son into buying in so I do hope it will go up again. Regardless, Dash isn't going anywhere, IMO, and it will be a great service some day. Ultimately, what I have, I got without any cash investment (well, it was paid back) But I will feel bad if my son loses his investment. I don't think he will though, and he can afford to.
Don't be sad, I was the bread winner, then I became sick, shit happens. Hubby working on his career but dedicated his life to our son, who is autistic but ended up amazing and the most well rounded incredible person I've ever met! I chose well for my husband. Money is far from everything! Life is good, don't be sad!
The point was that the reason I don't put my money where my mouth is is because I can't
I honestly can't 
I think I dwell on this too much, but it's because I feel so guilty that I can't constantly tip, etc... I'm trying to build up a few extra dash for monthly expenses all the time, so I cling to them, LOL, and feel like a nasty miser. So yah, I divulge too much information, but it's kind of guilt driven, sorry!
