Its funny to see the "news" coming from a failing centralized (high level of "masternode" control from instamine beneficiaries) blockchain whose only innovation is cutting/pasting features from Bitcoin (PrivateSend from CoinJoin, Chainlocks from Checkpoints etc, etc) and rebranding them

current DASH/XMR ratio is 1.16 and falling
Only DASH that is used in Venezuela is the one they wash their laundry with. It seemed to me that was wide known. No need for silly articles about it.
