Dash is a centralised, self-serving scam. It's just propped up by pretty good marketing and coordinated moves to further the interests of the Masternode cabal.
It has no real quality, it is not competition. It's just not been unmasked yet.
Dash is not the worry, it helps people who make proper research to realise just how good Monero actually is.
The cream always rises.
Yes the more I read about Dash the more I'm amazed people are putting money into this project.
Poorly implemented crypto, centralized nodes that collect tons of information, shady premine tactics to enrich the developers...
As for Monero, I still feel comfortable putting in a few more dollars.
Price is kind of sideways right now but its only going to being added to another exchange or service like Coinbase,
or a little more interest from China to push the price higher. I'm predicting $15 by the middle of the year.
I would be EXTREMELY disappointed if we only were at $15 by June/July! We've been above that previously and we're only $3 away right now without Coinbase, Kovri, etc... It's too easy to reach that level that I can't imagine at least above $20, and personally I'm preparing for higher prices. But, that's just me. And personally, I will not sit around and "fear" some other coin's modicum of success as it has nothing to do with Monero or it's success and most if not all of these other pseudo-anon coins will definitely not be able to compete in the long run and that's what is really important.
