What is DASH?

Evan Duffield developed DASH coin and initially launched it on the 18th of January 2014. During its early stages, DASH coin was known as XCoin or XCO; however, it changed its name to DarkCoin a month after the launch. Finally, on the 25th of March 2015, it rebranded the world’s top cryptocurrency to DASH.

DASH is short for “Digital Cash,” and that is what the firm is trying to achieve. In fact, the prime goal of DASH is to make it work like real physical cash (much like USD or GBP). The upside of using DASH instead of physical cash is that your money isn’t held in any central bank or commercial bank. Instead, you are in full control of your funds.

Moreover, you have excellent privacy, so none of your transactional data is sent or viewed by anyone else. In fact, your transactions are virtually impossible to track by any curious third party. Another significant benefit of using DASH is that the transactions occur almost instantly. The funds change hands immediately just like physical cash.

DASH is a hundred percent Fungible which makes it the first real digital cash. In short, DASH is not only secure and instantaneous but also super private. Talking about the transaction fees its almost zero. And anyone around the globe can start using DASH right away. All you have to do is download the DASH wallet from its respective website.

You can then buy and sell products and services, send funds to charities or send funds to your family and friends.

Experts still are positive about DASH and seem to think that it will surpass the $250 mark by year-end. Although much is dependant on the price of Bitcoin because of the interdependent nature of the crypto market.
