I never said that Dash itself is useless, I am just totally unsatisfied with it's privacy promises.
However it can't be worse than BTC or LTC for that matter, in fact in some aspects it's better. And it's relatively cheap.
So that is some potential value there. If Dash would integrate mandatory privacy like Monero did, then it could easily reach the value of ETH.
Dash gives the option of private sending funds because it's anticipating future political attacks that WILL be conducted by governments against fully anonymous coins and the affect that will have on mass adoption. Zoom out on a Macro, political, social, and financial field while considering their interconnectedness and ask your self what will the climate of these sectors be like in 5, 10, 50 years and that's what the Dash devs and Evan have been doing since year one.
Dash plays chess while the majority of crypto is playing checkers and if you look at Dash and still classify it as an anon coin you're a checker a player. It shed the anon niche and dark name for loftier goals of Governance and scale ability which it now stands at the fore front of.
