Monero and dash need to quit worrying about each other and worry about all the new anon coins hitting the market gaining popularity. I think the main reason Dash is continuing to fall is because of its pvix coin its the dash dark coin. It is getting a lot of investors. All these anon crypto currencies imo will be not be worth much imo in another 5 to 10 years because it will be over saturated market of anon coins and investors will be split up into to many different anon coins as more and more are made better then whats out on the market. I see the same thing happening with Ethereum too. A lot of of new block chains are coming out that have a better set up with more security. You will see new coins coming out that make the old ecosystems obsolete technology. I think the crypto community needs to find different ways of making crypto currencies outside of anon coins and block chains. Something thats different from what is out on the market. To much competition at a very rapid pace in same sector is never good. The only coin i see that is different right now is Lykke making a forex, stock, crypto currency exchange combined with no fees. Most coins hav to much competition or its not a good project. I do like how Dash user friendly ways, but the competition is getting fierce.
