It pains me to watch DASH suffer as ETH and some of those others on Polo skyrocket

There is fever setting in now.
I understand that ETH has some pretty innovative tech behind it with a good dev team, but so does DASH (if not better)... The amount of volume is just absurd at this point!
I'm a huge fan of Evan, but I don't think people broadly think he is a better dev than what is on offer at ETH. What Ether is riding is industry interest and the mess that is the scaling debate. If you are moving out of Bitcoin now and you want a safe place you will likely go with Ether for now. DASH has had major runs in the past though. There was some frenzied DRK moments for sure.
