Dash

Dash is one of the cryptocurrencies which garnered quite the attention in 2017 and traded at $10 per coin by January 2017 but by December hit $800 per coin which marked a strogn 800% gain.

Dash ranks 42^nd on the list of top 100 coins in terms of market capitalization with a market cap value of $1,823,058,748. Dash is a cryptocurrency created by Evan Duffield but the cryptocurrency was not the initial name of this cryptocurrency as we know it today when it was released. It was released as XCoin in 2014 rebranded to “DarkCoin” in February 2014 and then rebranded for the second time in 2015 to its current name.

The name Dash was coined from Digital Cash and Evan Duffield after studying the Bitcoin blockchain, was inherently impressed but quick to notice there were some limitations. He found that the bitcoin blockchain was not fast enough and not really private and scalable. He decided to create a new cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin where these changes can be easily implemented. Now this cryptocurrency, has about 50 employees working on its development. Duffield came across BTC in 2010 and was impressed by the technology but he was not even impressed about the slow transaction speed and the lack of privacy.

He had a lot of ideas on how to make his cryptocurrency function better but the BTC Core members would never allow him to do that since this would mean changes to the core code which is why he wanted to use it and make his own cryptocurrency in 2014. But we will get to that later in our guide, as we get to know ourselves with the content.
