This isn't a pump and dump scheme like with Monero, which is now going into its more bloody dump period .. no this is the market dramatically re-evaluating Dash.

Key factors at play here :

v.0.12.1 was implemented without any problems and it introduced Sentinal, a powerfull piece of software that run beside Dash's blockchain and allows Dash to make future upgrades
far more easy and fork-free.

Dash Evolution (a major upgrade further down the road) will have further scalabilty solutions and its release schedule has been bumped forward recentely, when it was announced that the alpha version
can now be exspected somewhere midyear 2017, this was made possible through additional funding that has expedited the development of Dash Evolution by attracting and hiring more developers.

Dash also made some powerfull partnerships lately and through its decentralized budget funding managed to have its cryptocurrency added to a major new exchange with FIAT pairs.
(exspect an announcement about that in a few months).

To answer the OP : no i have not made any money as i'm not spending any Dash, i save them so i can start a (new) masternode which will provide me with a steady stream of masternode payments
(on annual basis something like 10%).

So what happened with all the accusations of the premining stuff, and also all the potentially exploitable weaknesses given the masternode model, which would be easy for authorities to neutralize?

I remember having some darkcoins, and since then I didnt pay attention to this project.

How does this scale compared to bitcoin?

* you can read up on the instamine history of Dash here : https://dashpay.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OC/Dash+Instamine+Issue+Clarification
* the potentially exploitable weaknesses in the masternode model does indeed not exist just like Tao mentioned, its really just wishfull thinking from some competing cryptocurrencies
* to find out more about Dash scaling solutions, check here : https://www.dash.org/evolution/
* also keep in mind Dash masternode network already approved a 2MB blocksize increase, to be implemented on a later date.
* and last but least be informed i have cryptohunter on ignore, he plays the fanatic troll part a bit too well for my taste Roll Eyes
