Dash is no competition to Monero. We know that.

Disagree. It is competition, and strong competition at that. It is not as good, on paper, but nevertheless is winning in the marketplace, for now. As they say in sports, Thats why they play the games. The question should be Why? Or maybe, How, and can Monero overcome Dashs lead?
The "Dash is a scam" argument doesn't work. Open your eyes. Look at the price.
Fiat money is a scam too. No one cares.
Got it in one. As a "clueless noobie", to quote a relentless troller on the Dash thread, I see that those in the Monero camp have a massive blindspot, about how,
despite being less than a pristine and pure coin,
Dash is succeeding. On Planet Monero, marketing seems to be a bad word, and user friendliness? Pshaw, too smart to need that!
Come on! If that is what it takes to elevate a "flawed" coin like Dash to greatness, then how amazing could a "superior" crypto like Monero be, if that strategy were adopted? Please be dispassionate, and look at it without bias. If Monero is technically better than Dash, and yet Dash outperforms Monero, then what could the difference be?
From this clueless noobie's viewpoint, the keys to domination in the Anonymous Coin Game appear to be marketing and user friendliness. And having trollers in the penalty box could be considered a negative factor as well.
Despite having better players, Monero is massively behind on points, as Dash is working better as a team, and its strategy is superior. Is it too late for Monero to learn this? The Anonymous Coin Game will only have one winner. Can M come from behind? Will D hang on for the win? Stay tuned!
Is Team Monero really better than the Dash team, if it is losing? It looks to me like Monero, is not a complete team. To this clueless noobie, it looks like it needs marketing, and user friendliness. Its like a team with great scorers, fantastic skaters
but no goalie.
Edit: no offense intended. I now own Monero, Dash and yes, Bitcoin.
