Could anyone explain me why Dash is needed at all?
Is it not just Bitcoin + Lightning Netowork + some Mixing Tool ?
What is the difference between those 2 ?
And Dash is not fungible like Monero, right ?
Is monero fungible when you don't even know for certain how many coins are being produced due to an opaque block chain?
No Dash is very different from all of those projects. Lightning Network is a separate network that you have to lock your coins to for up to a year to make it worth while. Only those who buy into your chain can be traded with. it's clunky and ineloquent. Dash has everything as part of the core network, instant, fungible/private. It puts the user experience first, not a bunch of complex add on networks that lock you in a corner and nobody will use. The lightning network might as well be a way to color your coins and make them less valuable due to inability to pull out and convert to something else.
Lord have mercy, "isn't Dash just BTC + Lightning + "some mixing tool"? Obviously you have no idea what Dash has done. It's too much to explain here, but I highly suggest you play in Testnet to see how it works, and then if you are interested, read the papers on Evolution to see where Dash is going. Where Dash is going would be impossible for any single tier network to achieve.
Because Dash lacks SEGWIT, it does not and cannot have Lightning Network or any other kind of payment channels.
Until Dash has SEGWIT its transactions are malleable and thus cannot be locked for use in Lightning type write cache schemata.
As for TS2's laughably incompetent and off-topic FUD about another coin, it's best to consult the experts at StackExchange.

print_coinbase_tx_sum
Dash does not have a StackExchange because crypto experts do not find it interesting and its attempt to be listed resulted in failure (just like the Lamassu ATM, Mycelium, and Legal/Compliance Research projects).

PLEASE STOP QUOTING THE PUMPERS!
