Services provided over the internet and paid for with magic internet money are not subject to federal or state taxes in the country you live in if you choose to stay digital. If you don't use your country's financial system, roads, public lighting, etc. You don't owe them taxes.
I think of it like doing business on Mars or on a parallel, underground digital city that is completely separate from the city you live in.
Not taxable.
If you choose to stay on the internet, you need ways to exchange value that are reliable, fast and cheap that can't be seized by an entity that doesn't agree with this philosophy.
This is what I found in DASH.
What is DASH?
Originally named XCoin and later Darkcoin, it rebranded to Dash (a blend of "Digital" and "Cash") which is exactly what DASH is.
Dash pioneered a two-tier network. Beyond miners, masternodes provide advanced services like PrivateSend, InstantSend, and governance. Masternode operators share 45% of block rewards, incentivizing network support.
Masternodes are basically servers that host full copies of the blockchain. Masternodes must be backed by collateral of 1,000 Dash, and in return their operators receive regular payment for running and keeping the network secure. As highly committed custodians of the project, masternode operators are given the opportunity to vote each month on up to 10% of the block reward to fund community projects supporting the Dash ecosystem. This is known as the Dash DAO.
Similar to the Hive DHF, Dash also has a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), A network of people that communicate via the Dash protocol to reach consensus on which projects should be funded with newly minted Dash (Block rewards). Dash’s decentralized governance system, launched in 2015, allows masternode operators to vote on development proposals. As mentioned above portion of block rewards (10%) funds approved projects, making Dash one of the first self-funded blockchains.
I tested out one of DASH's most popular wallets called DashPay Mobile on my Android device and I was pleasantly surprised. It's easy to set up with NO KYC. No ID, no email, nothing. Just create some private keys and keep them in a safe place like a USB stick that's not connected to the internet or a piece of paper.
I already had some DASH in a Keystore wallet which works great on desktop, but I needed something more user friendly and mobile. Sending DASH from my Keystore to my DashPay Mobile wallet was practically instant. It made a cool jingle sound when the coins arrived on my mobile device and the fee was basically nothing.

These two features were already good enough for me, but Dash has another feature that I found REALLY useful: PrivateSend, a feature that mixes your transactions with other transactions as well as input and output addresses to mathematically make it virtually impossible to trace.
Here's a video of Amanda B. Johnson from Dash Detailed explaining the ins and outs of PrivateSend.
These are some of the reasons I've placed one of these lovely stickers on the front door of my business:
Looks great, wouldn't you agree?
As I continue to use 
I'm still in the process of learning more about DASH, but as it is, it's a pretty cool option to have in my book.
I believe that the outcome of blockchain technology is NOT one blockchain to rule them all and every other blockchain goes to zero.
Sorry Maxis.
I think some chains have unique benefits, development teams and communities and can be used together or for different purposes. Aside from HIVE, I believe DASH is a good one.
Have you used DASH?
