Re: Monero price is going up to 3 USD, transactions are anonymous - better than BTC
Monero price is going up to 3 USD firstly this year, currently around 2.18 USD - very nice and promising altcoin. Classic Etherum have much larger market share - around 8%, Monero only 0.24%, but Monero have nice advantage in the whole altcoin market - transactions are kept private. Bitcoin transactions are available for all public, so in this Monero is one step ahead Bitcoin. Check Monero here https://getmonero.org/home 
I think the rise in monero price is due to the perception that dash and monero should have parity and not due to any technical or fundamental analysis.
You are wrong. Development of Ring CT ended few days ago and testing is ahead. That is reason for rise in last few days. But since that was expected price rose basicly whole 2016 and will more. With Ring CT Monreo started running in a race of anonymity coins while competitors still crawl.
Since you mention DASH. Their Marketing drove people into altcoins and when they are here they look for better alternatives. So 3 cheers for DASHs decision to spend 10% for marketing instead of securing their network and give to miners. This will drive new people in altcoins and all will prosper of it.
