Why are you MOST interested in crypto / digital cash?
1. Protect or increase the value of my savings
2. Transact privately (from banks, gov'ts, big tech, etc)
3. Mostly interested in the tech (not economics or politics)
(we'll include strong "other" comments in a later poll)

Dash turns 11 years old today! 🎉🥳🎂
For the past 11 years we've worked very hard on providing the very best digital cash in the world that's instant, secure, affordable to use, private, and overall just works when you need it.
But this year we launched something special that no one's done before: Evolution 🧬
We built, and launched, a new blockchain that runs in parallel to the Core chain to process data transactions. Notably, Evolution:
🧬Lets you easily, instantly, and affordably write data to decentralized storage
🧬Lets you pay for permanent storage where you can get a refund if you decide you want to delete the data
🧬Lets you look up the exact data you want and access it instantly, along with a proof that you got exactly what you were looking for (no trust involved)
🧬Doesn't require running a node or indexer, or paying for/trusting a third-party service (The user or developer can just plug in and start using without trusting anyone)
🧬Is highly scalable and efficient
The first big application of this is DashPay, a wallet that lets you register unique, scammer-resistant usernames that let you make private payments to friends on your contact list, and write encrypted notes on extra payment info: price, purpose, etc. All on the blockchain, no trusted third parties required!
We're working on tokens, stablecoins, smart contracts, better privacy, and a host of very valuable integrations... all for this year!
We've been through the fire, not only survived, but thrived. Now that we have one of the best-architected pair of blockchains in all of crypto that's ready for the world, we're ready to grow.
11 years of constant, industry-changing innovations. Dash is the king of digital cash and decentralized data.👑
Happy Birthday Dash!
This guy's aggressive and harmful actions towards the crypto industry have personally affected me (he spread FUD that Dash is a security).
Bye bye, don't let the door hit you on the way out!
Gary Gensler leaving as SEC chair is one of the single most bullish things to happen to Dash. 🐂
Dash is the single most-FUDded coin in crypto!
Gensler's vague FUD about Dash being a security (without ever formally going after anyone) caused a lot of damage among investors. Same with privacy FUD in Europe and elsewhere (turns out having good privacy isn't illegal).
When he's gone, and European exchanges start relisting Dash now that they realize they can and still be compliant under MiCA, all bets are off.
We shipped Evo now too. Privacy improvements and smart contracts are coming.
It's rocket ship time! 🔥🚀

Finally got a chance to sit down with @SamWestrich and break down Dash Evolution
It's what really got me excited about the prospect of digital cash for the whole world back in the day, and now it's actually out.
Really good chat. Dash broke new ground with lots of things here! 💪
Michael Saylor, the leading voice and influencer on Bitcoin by a mile, says:
💀You don't need to self-custody
💀You should trust government and institutions
💀Government would never confiscate your custodial Bitcoin
💀You're a "paranoid crypto anarachist, and a profit-driven scammer, if you disagree
Anyone in Bitcoin who continues to support this bad actor, or who remains conveniently silent on this, can safely be called an enabler of this travesty.
Bitcoin is completely dead inside. Who cares what happens to the price next. 😢
One of the saddest things in the world is how the vibrant, energetic, passionate digital cash economy just sort of dried up when Bitcoin stopped being useful for this purpose.
It's coming back. I'll bring it back if I have to do it alone.
But it's still sad. 🫤
The Evolution chain has officially launched and is producing blocks! 🤩🧬
Finally, years of hard work have culminated in this moment. The Evolution chain is now humming along, executing data contracts and sending files to decentralized storage.
This is the first moment of a major revitalization for Dash.
Now that we have Evolution in place, we have everything else we need to build a modern, full-featured blockchain ecosystem. Soon we can add, tokens, smart contracts and much more.
The evolution of money and data begins now!
Last year, this year, and next year have been/will be massive for digital cash projects:
🕸️Litecoin got a major privacy overhaul with MWEB (MimbleWimble Extension Blocks), which is getting into more wallets
🎟️Bitcoin Cash got CashTokens, giving new programmatic features
🔐Zcash is getting shielded, fully-private assets soon
🥷Monero is getting full-chain membership proofs soon, a major privacy overhaul
🧬Dash is finally activating Evolution, launching a new data chain for DApps, usability and privacy improvements, and a ton more
How could you be blackpilled still, anon?! The future is going to be awesome!😤
