Dash has been all over the news lately, and understandably so considering what has happened to the price since the 7th of November. https://btcmanager.com/dash-nears-600-jumps-to-another-record-setting-high/ https://cointelegraph.com/news/dash-hits-usd-record-570-on-2mb-block-upgrade-zimbabwe-deal https://themerkle.com/dash-price-reaches-new-all-time-high-of-574/ http://tradebeat.com/dash-surges-due-to-zimbabwean-internal-crisis/ Dash chart from https://www.coinigy.com/?r=16171fe8 So here are 7 major reasons why I think this is happening. 1 - It Knows What It Is The name Dash is derived from the words ‘digital cash’. It is being developed as a payment network to replace the likes of PayPal. The Dash community know exactly what they are building, why they are building it and who they are building it for. This makes development much faster since decisions are made based on whether it makes Dash a better or worse payment network. Which brings us on to reason number 2. 2 - The Dash Network Runs Like A Business The Dash community are not primarily obsessed with ideology, neither is it overly politicised. Dash are building a product for the relentless demands of the consumer, which is where the majority of their energy is spent. Which brings us on to reason number 3. 3 - Dash Stays Focused On The Actual Users Of The Product Being absolutely clear that Dash is a payment network allows the community to then focus on making the best product for the users. This again helps decisions be made much faster due to the level of clarity on the outcome that they want to achieve. For example, Dash is working on a joint venture with KuvaCash https://www.kuvacash.com/ a project aimed at resolving the out of control currency inflation in Zimbabwe. Another example is the series of Dash conferences being held in Venezuela, another country experiencing a currency collapse. The first Dash conference was attended by 600 people who were hungry to learn about a real solution to the currency problem their government has failed to solve. Which brings us onto reason number 4. 4 - Dash Improvement Proposal 0001 https://github.com/dashpay/dips By the time you view this video, an upgrade to the Dash network will likely have activated. This upgrades increases the Dash block size to 2 MB while at the same time reducing transaction fees by a factor of 10. With transaction fees less than a penny, Dash takes aim at third world countries like Zimbabwe and Venezuela who can’t afford $1 transaction fees that are charged by the Bitcoin network. 5 - An On Chain Governance System https://www.dashcentral.org/budget https://dashvotetracker.com/ Dash pioneered the idea of having an on chain voting system that would allow stakeholders to vote on the direct the network ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHeX1dHaCtQ
