TIL: A ton of Crypto 101 info about DASH coin, new Blockchain tech and why everyone talks about Amanda B. Johnson so highly
VIDEO: Well, today I invested time learning a lot about DASH and why so many people like it. When many of the top Crypto people are talking so highly of it, we best pay attention.
I was gifted some DASH today which was very exciting for me! I have always wanted to own some, so today was DASH Day in my house. (:
I hope you guys will comment here and tell me your ideas and thoughts on DASH!
I've seen Amanda's name around A LOT in the Crypto space and when you watch this video with her on the DASH team, explaining all the blockchain and DASH type projects and security, you will likely be glad you did. There is so much good info in this 30 min. video and she is so easy to listen to.
What is DASH in a nutshell?
" Dash (Ticker: DASH) is an open sourced, privacy-centric digital currency. It allows you keep your finances private as you make transactions, similar to cash. Created by software developer and financial advisor Evan Duffield, Dash is the leading privacy-centric digital currency; it improves upon the well-established Bitcoin source code and features a custom, decentralized transaction protocol that removes the need for Dash users to entrust their privacy to a third party.
Every Bitcoin account and associated transaction is stored on a ledger, or "blockchain". This information is publicly available, and is retained in perpetuity. In contrast, Dash's underlying technology masks the link between the sender and receiver on the blockchain, affording its users a high degree of privacy " -- DASH.org official statement
DASH Detailed is the name of this official video SERIES on their YT channel they have and I will be using it a LOT!
Blockchain and DASH 101 and the future projects like DASH Evolution are explained from this Dec. 2016. video she did at a University in the US.
How DASH is different from other Alt Coins and Crypto "currency" - Amanda even discussed what she considers "currency".
Lots of good contact and resource info are contained in the video also, and pasted below for you!
Their video channel has a TON of excellent resource material!
In my first day of learning about DASH and committing to the learning, I have quickly found they are striving to build a real "community feel" to their product and their projects.
If I am being honest also, she is very pretty and intelligent, and I found it hard sometimes to pay attention to the video, I am just a regular guy LOL. I hope I am allowed to say that and nobody gets mad at me! I have realized over the months on Steemit and spending time learning all that I have in this space I have developed some Crypto Crushes LOL.
From DASH themselves:
Cryptocurrency's ~14 billion dollar market cap is largely betting that one or more blockchain-based tokens become widely used as "money." But given crypto's current usability, that's not likely to happen. Amanda B. Johnson discusses why the likes of Bitcoin and others are likely currently in a bubble, and why Dash Evolution may well save cryptocurrency.

Dash is one of the premier crypto currencies. They are not without controversy but nobody is. I learned alot from Amanda, she does a great job. Resteemed.
I am really thankful for your comments there and support! Thanks! This is the biggest post I have had in awhile, I really learned a lot today about DASH. You were on my mind the whole time.
Great article. Resteemed.
I think Amanda 'pretty & intelligent' too, and I'm gay! So her appeal is pretty universal!!!
LOL! Dying
That made me laugh so hard my eyes watered.
I appreciated that comment a lot lol
TY for commenting!!! Been Following you for awhile now !!!
And this is the reason why I got some Dash. I knew she was being paid from the blockchain so whoever was behind that project was making good choices. Finding out about their governance system is what convinced me. I figure we needed someone to explain this stuff and she was doing a good job, saw some videos on her old channel to make sure this was not her first crypto-rodeo and after watching a couple of videos I was sold so I bought more of her.
I am not a techie guy so I can't test the currency to a greater extent, but I know people and the internet and ABJ would be pleasant for both. Every week I watch Dash Detailed, never miss a week and that's how I imagine others will be once they come across the YT channel. I've also used their videos a lot before, not only to explain about Dash but other cryptos and new additions like access for other languages and promotional projects within Dash.
I think I even heard about a program where people get rewarded for finding content or writing about Dash, might want to check that out since you might be able to bring your article forward.
I'd take Dash over BTC any day as things stand today, even with BTC over $1000
That is some kind of great input right there man! TY for that!!
I started mining Dash, because I'm 'initially' curious. Not less of a man, but I'm not really interested in her 'wily' charms or 'good face' for the platform. (Just Me) I am interested in some of the development DAPI. I can get behind that aspect.
DASH is very popular due to anonymity built in, other coins to keep eye on all trading Bittrex: XMR (different algo but also anonymous), ZEC (the latest hot coin), EXCL (DASH fork but with PoS not PoW), Byteballs (new one).
more great input from a crypto person! Awesome! Posts crossed just now as I was typing but DASH was reading this post and sharing it they said
just 2 cents from me, the post itself is awesome ;)
It's true! Your post in now on their FB account :)
... you are right! They shared it!
what are your thoughts about ZEC about network anonymity, which basically is in the network if creators of it not saved "genesis keys" (I do not know the proper name of that).
thats the only thing we cannot be sure of.. hence why i think ZEC cannot be treaten fully seriously if you would like ot be 100% anonymous
one thing to much in my opinion :(
If the initial private data survived the 'ceremony' it would enable counterfeiting but it would not compromise the security of shielded transactions. It would also ruin the reputations of the people involved in the 'ceremony' and creation of the Zcash software. Zcash Parameters And How They Will Be Generated
re: The 'ceremony' - this Zcash forum post turned up recently. Zcash Ceremony Video
great timing :D :)
I've been researching and involved with cryptocurrency for just over a year. I'm convinced that Dash Evolution will be a game changer, just as I believe Steemit will be the same for social media.
Followed and TY for your input here!
I always like when a woman is engaged in the crypto space.
I saw Amanda B Johnson's "The daily decrypt" in the past and understand that she is still with Dash. I understand that Dash is a serious project, I still don't find it appealing enough for me to engage in.
I wonder if part of why good products like this have not been able to really gain mass adoption is because everyone is so focused on Bitcoin etc.
I just thought about that. What do you think??
TY for the comments and on your post today too where I commented about the single people in the liberty space (:
Valuable information my friend @barrydutton thanks for sharing
Hi Barry. Do yourself a favour and watch praxgirl on YouTube.
Excellent grounding in Austrian economics, and if you can watch all 20 or so episodes without falling in love; you're a better man than I ;)
LOL! Thanks Matt, I really appreciate the input and the tips. If Crypto has taught me anything as a newb, you really just don't know some days what will work and what does not. I just muddle along and try to keep learning, and my DASH Day I committed to the time, really was a wise thing to do.
I like them. #DASH to the Finish line!
