Dash and Monero have similar marketcaps right now.
I have heard that Monero has better anonymity than Dash with it's masternode setup.
What reasons do you guys suggest to use Dash instead of Monero, from a general user's point of view.
Why is Dash better than Monero if it is at all?
Both have advantages and disadvantages. Dash can scale to mass adoption levels fully decentralized at the protocol level and monero/zcash/btc can't.
Privacy only coins have their uses though, like having value as a Darknet currency, offshore type investment or money laundering on the fly. There is money to be made there but they can never scale to Digital Cash status like Dash, that is where the real money will be.
Dash's anon has also never been broken like other coins and its off-chain mixing is future proofed from Quantum computing which will eventually deanonymize the past of on-chain anon coins like monero etc.

Hey I'm not a criminal, I don't do dark market crap, I am just purely interested in this from either a general user's point of view but also from an investor's point of view because I do hold some Monero and I might buy some more Dash soon.
So you and that article are claiming that Monero is not quantum resistant, which is nothing new, most coins arent.
One point I always find is that the Dash mixing system relies on trusted masternodes to mix, so basically if the nodes are surveillance nodes, then the whole Dash privacy fall appart as well doesn't it?
So it's not just that Monero's privacy scheme is not flawless but actually Dash's privacy is worse.
Now ignoring privacy I do see more value in Dash since it's a DAPP kind of currency with a very active community and it has more appeal than any other blockchain, perhaps 3rd in popularity after ETH.
So I'm not saying Dash doesn't have value, but on the privacy front it's not that good. In other aspects it can be quite good, like the scaling of it I heard is much smoother and better than BTC.
