While Dash is being actively used in every day life by communities that really need it the most in these times like Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil.

This hype has been debunked repeatedly. Most recently

Weve been accepting dash for two years. We currently havent received any clients using dash to pay for their events. Theyd rather use bolivares or dollars, she said.

...

Los Costilla, a popular, dash-friendly restaurant, is one example. A representative told CoinDesk they havent accepted any type of cryptocurrency for over a year.

Lets have some facts here about referred Coindesk article :

* Writer of that article broke off contact with regards to fact checking with Dash Core Team and failed to re-establish contact before posting this article. This is highly unresponsible journalistic behaviour.
* Writer had to do two seperate rather embarressing corrections on the article after publication.
* Writer failed to support their article with any facts that Dash is not the most used crypto in Venezuela, writer just quoted a few local sources and then made the rather unsupported personal opinion
that because of these local sources Dash may not be the most used crypto in Venezuela. Writer does not state which according to her (or to any investigation) then is the most used crytocurrency in Venezuela.

The thing that really surprised me is seeing how one of Coindesk's local source is quoted saying they rather use bolivares, when we all know about the hyperinflation, which is making those same bolivares totally wearthless.
Those bolivares are these days littering the gutters of the streets in Venezuela and people are actually making baskets / purses out of bolivares, because it lost any monetary value.

Venezuela's currency is worth so little that artisans are making purses out of it

This of course makes Coindesk's "local sources" in this article rather questionable.
