Be happy to oblige. Some of us have been here before.

Dash is being bought by investors who are seeking to gain more bitcoin, not to gain more Dash. It is not being used as a vehicle for "store of value" but rather as a proxy for one that does.

As our price rise, so does the tension in profitability between two parts of the Dash coin supply. Once the "fever" subsides and the pumpers take their profits, fundamentals will set in again and we'll have another wave of de-ranking, especially amongst the mined coins. There is a way to prevent this which is to optimise the way the supply is "spent" so that it preserves the wealth of those who invest in it rather than pour it all into the pockets of a tiny minority of holders who do not re-invest it in the chain (the way that miners do).

 • If you're interested in the long term future of Dash then engage in genuine challenges over its store-of-value mechanics.
 • If you're interested in earning more bitcoin, then stay invested during this pump and get out with the whales
