Went to sleep and it was around $25, wake up and we are up to $28. What is going on with Dash? I bet a lot of people are wondering that.

I couldn't tell you myself, it's probably a combination of things but I am not in the mood to speculate much.

@mallorcaman added me on Facebook, it was nice of him. This is the first person I met in Steemit to then interact in other places too, though lately here I've been motivating some people I know to create their own account for Steem, specially since busy.org has a chat. I'm pretty sure he likes Dash too, has been posting about it from time to time. Last night he shared a link that really got my attention so I wish to share it with you all:

Dash teams up with BlockPay to enable point of sale purchases in over 36 countries

We added Dash because we see a huge potential in the very active Dash community and in the underlying scaling technology of Dash. At the moment, Bitcoin has a big problem from a consumer perspective. The slow transaction speed, the high transaction fees and the speculative nature of Bitcoin make it very unsexy for everyday consumption. Now, comparing the altcoin ecosystem, many struggle with user adoption, high volatility and a missing business orientation. I think that the Dash Network is different, because it has a strong and active community, a great worker system funding growth and marketing plus an active development team that is building the right tools for mass adoption.

First time I ever hear someone talk about the sexiness level of crypto, haha. But it is true that there have been many reports lately about how long it takes for transactions to process in Bitcoin, whether this issue will be dealt with efficiently and timely is another matter.

I don't feel like speculating right now but I don't mind if you do, why would you say the price is rising this much?
