Here is your answer.

You see Dash has no problems. It is working perfectly fine (Fact!) but it is seen as a threat by a few other lesser important crypto-currencies but also by bitcoin core developers. You can be sure if dash had a technical problem it had been ripped technical apart already by them but all they could do the last 3 years is putting bad words on dash. Pathetic behaviour. One would expect statements based on facts and proves by crypto genius developers but ...

To become the nr1 in terms of a digital cryptocurrency used for payments it will take efforts to get it known and used by all the "normal" ppl in the world and a constant development to make it simple and usable and dash is exactly doing that so it has a good chance to get there.
But that will take time and is not a process happening from today to tomorrow and that is good. The value has to grow fundamentally and not in hyped bubbles. And in that way ppl like Icy and indirectly even bitcoin core devs help dash a lot to stay in a healthy solid value grow.
