Dash Nation Roundup: Currency Firing On All Cylinders
Dash is establishing itself as a legit competitor to Bitcoin.
Amid a steadily rising Dash price, the community has been busy.
As I write this, the market price of Dash passed $11.00 USD. Investors who are looking for a steady investment are more and more turning to Dash because of its mindset to focus on development, and slow but steady progress. The community is one of the best I have ever seen, and this leads to partnerships being created and enriching the ecosystem in an incremental way.
Your choice of transparent or private transactions, cash-like speed of transfer (no BTC sluggishness here), self-funding to avoid outside influence, and decentralized governance are the main reasons that Dash is a solid currency. It also will have a path to mass adoption through ease of use of Dash Evolution, slated to arrive in about a year and a half. Evolution will feature a decentralized API which will offer countless opportunities for apps to be developed on it, leveraging the second-tier Masternode network.
Amid this price rally as more people are joining Dash Nation, the community has been busy. Read on for the latest news:
Daniel Diaz Appears On The Crypto Show
Dash's Business Development Manager Daniel Diaz took some time to talk to the boys on The Crypto Show. They are big Dash fans and stated on the show that they wished BTC had Dash's governance structure. Daniel shares the confidence that all Dashers have that although Bitcoin has the huge advantage of being the first mover, Dash will overcome this through better tech, a cohesive community, and the ability to innovate by making timely decisions on network direction.

Dash N Go goes live!
Jeremy Maus, one of the developers of Dash N Go, along with MooCowMoo, announced today that a retail app which allows users to scan retail items directly from a mobile device and pay for it in app, avoiding the need for a cashier in a retail environment.

I am totally in love with Dash right now. What a fun summer it has been so far! And to top things off I just won the 2nd asic giveaway from @thedashtimes
Goooooo dash!
Hey! Congrats, man. Hope you mine lots of DASH...
Dash currently has over 4 million coins in Masternodes. Coinmarketcap is showing the available supply as 6.6 million which leaves 2.6 million outstanding. As far as i'm concerned Dash is way undervalued when comparing it to bitcoin.
Where can i find the source that 9.2 million is max number of Dash?
The max is probably going to be around 18-20 million Dash when emission completes, depending on difficulty. @worldfamous is only stating the available current supply that is not in Masternodes:
Current supply: 6.6M
In Masternodes: 4.0M
Outstanding: 2.6M
Agreed. Well said. More services and integrations are the key right now to gain more of a user base before Dash Evolution goes live. Once that happens, look out! I have a feeling a substantial amount of Dash treasury money will be going to awareness... :-)
Do you think the demand from people wanting to set up master nodes is inflating the DASH price?
That's definitely one factor. Dash has a recurring loop, with way more demand than supply. When a dump happens, the beneficiaries simply say "Thanks for the Masternode" and then take the coins off the market. When the market turns bullish again, there is not much supply to push through, thus taking Dash to new highs. It happens like this every time. There are more reasons than just demand for Masternodes at play, though.
Thanks, I love DASH,I am mining some through Genesis.
Wow, I saw the price of Dash yesterday in poloniex and almost fell over when I saw the price.. Thanks for the heads up Genesis!
While I'm happy Dash is having a good day on the markets, I prefer slow and steady growth to wild price swings. The fundamentals of Dash are strong, so the uptrend is definitely sustainable, however.
It's the best crypto out there, bar none. Bitcoin has major mining and scalability issues. 22 million max, similar to Bitcoin. Transaction times in seconds etc, etc, etc disclaimer, I've got some
Happy to have you in Dash Nation! There's been so much good news lately, I can barely keep up. We are on the right track.
Thanks for sharing all this info!!
You're welcome! Spreading the knowledge is my passion.
This is my experience of running a DASH node, https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/owning-your-bank-branch-dash-nicholas-gregory
Nice! You should post that here! I like the analogy.
Got into Dash when it was $9, only recently... I like the community and think it can have a 'second-mover' advantage by improving on Bitcoin...
Welcome to Dash Nation! I have a feeling you are right. The crypto space is slowly waking up to Dash's massive potential, and that leads to more partnerships and projects around Dash. It's very exciting right now!
