Sorry Dash, Youre Never Getting Any Love from Bitcoiners

If youve been around a while, youll have noticed that Dash is the black sheep of the cryptocurrency world. Like Ron Paul during his US presidential runs, Dash consistently remains excluded, ignored, and derided in favor of much smaller, less developed, and less promising projects. You can almost feel the room go cold when you mention your Dash fandom in a group of Bitcoiners. What a buzzkill.
And guess what? Itll always be this way. Dash wont ever gain the respect of the cryptocurrency community we presently know. You know why? Because it as nothing to do with anything real. No, it has nothing to do with its initial mining bug, as most cryptocurrency projects have had even more uneven launches, and most enjoy far poorer supply distributions. No, it isnt Dashs privacy, which remains unbeaten and is light years ahead of some critics who dont even have any anonymity functions to begin with. And it definitely isnt decentralization, where Dash has the most diversified ecosystem resistant to the undue influence of any one single actor or group in the entire space. Dashs redheaded step child status with Bitcoiners has nothing to do with anything technological, or, well, anything real. Its all social and cultural. Heres why.
