You just don't get it, right?
This is similar to nothing else. DASH is on its own way. Nothing else. Except the part where Bitcoin weaknesses did it to all top alts.
PIVX seems similar in some ways. They have a lot to do, but the proposal to implement zero knowledge transactions and the "seesaw" could be improvements.
https://pivx.org/But they have along way to go. Implementing zero knowledge might be tricky
My bet is they will collapse before anything like that will happen.
They cant even get Governance working even though its a direct pull from Dash.
If we didn't have competition, all currencies would continue to suck. Because there IS competition, Bitcoin has to watch it's back, Dash has to watch it's back and soon, the Dollar and Euro, Yen, etc will have to modernize and get better if they want to survive, though they have more leeway. But even fiat hasn't got much leeway, this competition is heating up quickly! All this means is that the people, the users, everyone gets better money period! Being one of the people of the world, I like that

If you read F. Hayek on currency competition (did Amanda coin that phrase?) you will see why this is all GOOD! And it is only happening now because of Satoshi solving the byzantine generals problem, and the rest has been waiting to happen since personal computers were available

This literally might MIGHT mean we can fix problems in the future with technology / remove control of money from centralized authorities and actually make the world a better, fairer place without central powers that create wars. This is the new world I would like to leave my grandchildren, or anyone's grandchildren (as I may never get any, LOL)
