Agree with most of that except the opening. Dash is nothing like Monero and not trying to be.
You are absolutely right:
Monero is decentralized, fairly distributed, without a premine, and truly private.
Dash is
none of those.
But this is a bitcoin thread. I am probably one of the biggest proponents of Monero, but in here I stick to BITCOIN. Monero is one of the VERY few actually decentralized altcoins with utility. It will survive as a child of BTC along with Litecoin, and... and... well there *could* be no others.
