gmax and peter todd don't see monero as a threat to bitcoin so that's why they hate on and fear DASH but push monero.
Dash is not a threat to any alt-coin let alone Bitcoin ever since the Evolution announcement. I mean 12- 18 months for a stable prototype with estimates in the 3-5 year range for a "gold" release. This is an eternity in crypto currency.
We will be writing the software for this project in stages, the first stage will take about 2 months to have a very early prototype for Dash Evolution that includes a basic implementation of DashDrive, Primitives, DAPI and a simple T3 wallet. In six to eight months, we should be entering testnet phase with most basic functionality. In 12-18 months, we plan for the first release version (a stable prototype).
https://www.dash.org/evolution/DASH is already a top 5 altcoin. after evolution it will be second under btc. monero will have been totally replaced by then by a solid zerocash implementation. in 3-5 years DASH will be like google to btc yahoo.
And now we will see if your prediction is true or if mine will be true:
SMOOTHIE PREDICTION:
1. Evan makes more & more promises that he doesn't deliver.
2. If he delivers something he delivers a half-baked promise.
3. 3-5 years DASH is dead like Solidcoin died and Evan is nowhere to be found in the cryptosphere talking about DASH anymore as his #1 priority.
4. Monero (moreso the underlying technology) will live on and be actively developed for likely the next 5 years. Whether it is in monero or not remains to be seen.
5. Bitcoin has more drama than ever as financial markets crumble and people try to find a safe haven.
6. IF(MasterMined710 == still around)
He will make up excuses for why he made such a bad prediction
ELSE IF mastermined710 = nowhere to be found
RETURN FAIL
