VIDEO: Well, today I invested time learning a lot about DASH and why so many people like it. When many of the top Crypto people are talking so highly of it, we best pay attention.
I was gifted some DASH today which was very exciting for me! I have always wanted to own some, so today was DASH Day in my house. (:
I hope you guys will comment here and tell me your ideas and thoughts on DASH!
I've seen Amanda's name around A LOT in the Crypto space and when you watch this video with her on the DASH team, explaining all the blockchain and DASH type projects and security, you will likely be glad you did. There is so much good info in this 30 min. video and she is so easy to listen to.
What is DASH in a nutshell?
" Dash (Ticker: DASH) is an open sourced, privacy-centric digital currency. It allows you keep your finances private as you make transactions, similar to cash. Created by software developer and financial advisor Evan Duffield, Dash is the leading privacy-centric digital currency; it improves upon the well-established Bitcoin source code and features a custom, decentralized transaction protocol that removes the need for Dash users to entrust their privacy to a third party.
Every Bitcoin account and associated transaction is stored on a ledger, or "blockchain". This information is publicly available, and is retained in perpetuity. In contrast, Dash's underlying technology masks the link between the sender and receiver on the blockchain, affording its users a high degree of privacy " -- DASH.org official statement
DASH Detailed is the name of this official video SERIES on their YT channel they have and I will be using it a LOT!
Blockchain and DASH 101 and the future projects like DASH Evolution are explained from this Dec. 2016. video she did at a University in the US.
How DASH is different from other Alt Coins and Crypto "currency" - Amanda even discussed what she considers "currency".
Lots of good contact and resource info are contained in the video also, and pasted below for you!
Their video channel has a TON of excellent resource material!
In my first day of learning about DASH and committing to the learning, I have quickly found they are striving to build a real "community feel" to their product and their projects.
If I am being honest also, she is very pretty and intelligent, and I found it hard sometimes to pay attention to the video, I am just a regular guy LOL. I hope I am allowed to say that and nobody gets mad at me! I have realized over the months on Steemit and spending time learning all that I have in this space I have developed some Crypto Crushes LOL.
From DASH themselves:
Cryptocurrency's ~14 billion dollar market cap is largely betting that one or more blockchain-based tokens become widely used as "money." But given crypto's current usability, that's not likely to happen. Amanda B. Johnson discusses why the likes of Bitcoin and others are likely currently in a bubble, and why Dash Evolution may well save cryptocurrency.

And this is the reason why I got some Dash. I knew she was being paid from the blockchain so whoever was behind that project was making good choices. Finding out about their governance system is what convinced me. I figure we needed someone to explain this stuff and she was doing a good job, saw some videos on her old channel to make sure this was not her first crypto-rodeo and after watching a couple of videos I was sold so I bought more of her.
I am not a techie guy so I can't test the currency to a greater extent, but I know people and the internet and ABJ would be pleasant for both. Every week I watch Dash Detailed, never miss a week and that's how I imagine others will be once they come across the YT channel. I've also used their videos a lot before, not only to explain about Dash but other cryptos and new additions like access for other languages and promotional projects within Dash.
I think I even heard about a program where people get rewarded for finding content or writing about Dash, might want to check that out since you might be able to bring your article forward.
I'd take Dash over BTC any day as things stand today, even with BTC over $1000

I started mining Dash, because I'm 'initially' curious. Not less of a man, but I'm not really interested in her 'wily' charms or 'good face' for the platform. (Just Me) I am interested in some of the development DAPI. I can get behind that aspect.

DASH is very popular due to anonymity built in, other coins to keep eye on all trading Bittrex: XMR (different algo but also anonymous), ZEC (the latest hot coin), EXCL (DASH fork but with PoS not PoW), Byteballs (new one).

thats the only thing we cannot be sure of.. hence why i think ZEC cannot be treaten fully seriously if you would like ot be 100% anonymous

If the initial private data survived the 'ceremony' it would enable counterfeiting but it would not compromise the security of shielded transactions. It would also ruin the reputations of the people involved in the 'ceremony' and creation of the Zcash software. Zcash Parameters And How They Will Be Generated

I always like when a woman is engaged in the crypto space.
I saw Amanda B Johnson's "The daily decrypt" in the past and understand that she is still with Dash. I understand that Dash is a serious project, I still don't find it appealing enough for me to engage in.

I wonder if part of why good products like this have not been able to really gain mass adoption is because everyone is so focused on Bitcoin etc.
I just thought about that. What do you think??

LOL! Thanks Matt, I really appreciate the input and the tips. If Crypto has taught me anything as a newb, you really just don't know some days what will work and what does not. I just muddle along and try to keep learning, and my DASH Day I committed to the time, really was a wise thing to do.
I like them. #DASH to the Finish line!

Great input from you! I am a noob but I am super stoked to have received my first DASH today! I think I am going to like it.
I want more but my circumstance are not good right now w the car running me over -- it has affected every area of my life.
DASH people actually messaged me tonite on SM to say they read my post and are sharing it, which is pretty neat. LIke I said in the post -- they seem different, very community minded. I get a kick out of them already and my 1 Dash coin has been in my hands a few hours only now lol

I love these discussions and she makes a lot of good points but the comparison
to PGP acceptance and use of Bitcoin I did not agree with. And leave Banana 68 alone.

I thought the comparison of global uptake of PGP and Bitcoin was fairly apt. As annoying as it may be that these incredibly useful things have to be dumbed down for wider adoption, that remains one of the major obstacles to be overcome. Where did the comparison fail to stick for you?

Well, I revealed a bit of my personal side there and kept it away from a clinical writing perspective LOL. That is why I wondered whether or not to put it in but it was just in fun and hoped nobody would get upset.
I am just getting online now but this blog post made it onto their official FB page posted by them, and across the twitter machine many many liked and RT last nite which was super neat.
The speaker here in this video Amanda replied and RT it from her DASH channel twitter account last nite as well.
I really got a kick out of seeing this post sort of take off and loved seeing all the feedback and comments here.
I think I have realized over the years that I need to come to terms with the fact I am attracted to intelligent women and ones who understand liberty and freedom and truth.
Not the crap that the gov'ts and MSM (media) feed us and tell us that's the way it is and that's all we deserve and get.
TY for taking some time to comment, it was nice to hear from you.

Did you happen to see the comments here about how it took off on FB and twitter with their official accounts??
Because that really helped Steemit too and I don't think @ned or @dantheman @dan know -- or most of the other whales. I think it was helpful for crypto noobs like me, and other things connected.
If you are on the twitter have a look on the DASH pages or mine. If you like or find time.

Nice to hear from you again. Like I mentioned earlier, as I was going thru my replies, it is so easy to listen to her approach. I think she is a great front-person for a company and likely very smart to bring her onboard.
The way I was welcomed on the DASH official pages and accounts because of this post getting some traction, really impressed me. They shared the post, engaged me, it really impressed me how they reached out.
I would like some more DASH please! (:
