Dash has a community, and bear in mind, the sign of the community is not how many trolls are writing online.
Dash has the community equivalence of a freeway service area. That is to say on the surface it has the look and feel of a small town, but when you actually take a look around, the majority of its 'citizens' are either there temporarily (speculators) or simply are employees paid to be there; to operate the gas pumps, to keep the tiny streets clean, the logos polished, and the coffee and donuts flowing with a smile. It has no actual genuine citizens.
Monero on the other hand has the population of a small city. It isn't a product or a corporation. People are not being paid to live here. Sure it can be a little bit dirty at times. But it is is a movement defined by the enthusiasm of it's underlying social fabric, the political protections of it's underlying technological fabric, and the potential opportunities afforded by its speculative fabric.
You can't compare a product to a movement. It would be like comparing McDonalds to the US Constitution.
Dash is a professional project that have people working for it and they get paid, so what?
Monero is guys trading with Aminorex and circle jerking each other and nobody gets paid (perhaps Aminorex and a few others that are trading on Poloniex). Nothing wrong with people buying/selling from/to Aminorex but besides 1-2 vendors having occassional sales on Alphabay with Monero (probably annually 10-20 K usd worth of illegal stuff sold in Monero?) the usage of Monero is very limited.
I think buying FUCKs from Risto on Crypto Kingdom is bigger use case of Monero than buying stuff on Alphabay - correct me if I am wrong here. Does anyone have any statistics how much there is FUCKs selling on annual basis...?
