Dash is for the win as they are making spending easy.  Reportedly, it has made BTC more usable than the Lightning Networks has.

Dash expressed:  Dash has real-world utility for everyday payments for goods and services at the brands you know and love.  Download the DashDirect app and save up to 12% at 155,000+ retail locations, and 125+ online stores in the USA.

Community response: All forks will be wiped out. Dash needs to come up with some real developments to survive the competition.

Any project needs to innovate, that’s for sure. Being able to spend Dash at 155k+ merchants in the US alone, some with significant discounts, is definitely an innovation worth sharing.

Twitter handle Pozo, made a video buying REAL STUFF at a major retail store in Texas with DASH.  This is what real crypto adoption looks like. This video has been posted to show how the speed of payment is impressive.

I really think Dash has done way more in the past few years than Litecoin but Dash is behind digibyte in the fact that they have entered DeFi via partnerships and bridged or wrapped digibyte so you can do DeFi and take sound money into the money markets and invest it.

Only Dash can do this I think. So that is the reason my expectation for Dash value will be over 1000 USD in the spring of 2022. Surely I will continue buying Dash when it stays under 500 USD. This is my opinion and expectation, not an advice for investment.

Meanwhile for those who missed statements from Ryan Taylor:  If you are an accredited investor and Dash supporter, consider Valkyrie’s Dash Trust. Once the trust reaches sufficient AUM it can apply for public trading. This would expose Dash to new markets including IRAs & NY residents. Min investment is $25k.

Another use case is investment firms requiring daily closing prices for their funds, or businesses that don’t desire crypto held directly on their balance sheets (the trust shares are denominated in USD). So there is a lot of benefit in growing the trust AUM.

There are benefits for investors as well. Trust shares enable holders to claim their Dash as an asset that traditional financial companies will acknowledge, such as for qualifying for traditional loans or mortgages. It can also solve custody or inheritance concerns.

Many investors I speak to don’t immediately recognize some of these benefits to the Dash ecosystem or themselves, so I thought I’d pass them along in case these considerations apply to your situation. Once it grows to a sufficient size, we can apply for a stock ticker symbol.
