Is Dash the Cryptocurrency for Africa?

It is a known fact that the continent of Africa is a continent with abundant mineral resources. It is sort of like the engine that powers the globe. However, what's more abundant in Africa is its human resources.

A 2020 estimate puts the population of the continent at 1.3 billion people, which is 17.5% of the world’s population. This invariably makes the continent a huge market for investors and global progressive financial trends like cryptocurrency. Yet the majority of the people in Africa still view cryptocurrency as a rather foreign concept, and its acceptance in the African market leaves much to be desired. In this article we shall elaborate the reasons why Dash could just be the cryptocurrency for Africa's populace.

As an African who potentially wants to invest in cryptocurrency but does not know which one to pick, there are certain questions which may go through your mind...

The Impact of Dash on the Latin American Economy



Is Latin America the continent most affected by constant economic changes? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. It's known that in the economic sector of any country, there will always be changes that will positively or negatively influence its development. Some continents offer general economic stability, but in Latin American countries, the economy is very inconsistent. As such, the national currency of each one of them suffers constant devaluation. Some cases are out of the control of governments, and others are caused by them. Venezuela one of the countries most affected in South America.

In the last 20 years, the Bolívar, the national currency of Venezuela, has experienced significant fluctuations in its market value, and also in its denomination (Bolívar Fuerte, Bolívar Soberano). In recent years it's experienced quite a significant devaluation, and Venezuelan people have been forced by the country itself to look for different alternatives to survive and gain a better quality of life. For example, some of the people were forced to emigrate to other countries in America and the world. Those who didn't have income to emigrate, began to explore new ways to generate money from their home obtaining them through digital currencies...

Get to Know Features and Technologies of the Dash Network



Dash has several features that other digital currencies don't have. These features for the most part are a result of Dash's unique two-tier network. Dash has Proof of Work miners and full nodes. It also has a network of incentivized full nodes called masternodes. These two tiers work together to enable unique features and security on the Dash blockchain...

Dash Mall and Parking Starts its Second Publicity Campaign



Advertising is a typical tool that businesses use to get the attention of potential customers, so that they can buy products or services that the businesses have to offer. Marketing and advertising has evolved throughout history. Today social networks are an excellent way to show customers everything businesses have to offer. Undoubtedly, this method is widely used because it allows small and large companies to make themselves known within the market in which they enter.

Taking that into account, several businesses in Venezuela began to promote their products on social media by offering different payment methods. They let people know that they could use the cryptocurrency Dash to access their products quickly and easily. The main benefit they can offer with Dash is significant discounts. Everyone likes saving money, so offering discounts allows businesses to attract new customers regardless of whether or not they're familiar with cryptocurrency...

Remittances with Dash: Benefit or Necessity?



The oil-producing country of Venezuela has been immersed in the most severe economic crisis that a Latin American country has faced in modern history. In recent years, Venezuela's currency has suffered an abysmal devaluation, and money is now in a situation of scarcity. This has affected companies but its greatest impact is felt by the general population. People struggle in search of the best options when it comes to supplying the most basic and necessary inputs for their day. Venezuelans' minimum wages have fallen to $2.26 per month.

A process of steady financial weakening is taking place in every Venezuelan home. The deterioration of the oil sector, the country's main source of income, has been quite significant to the point that today there is no more production. It has surpassed 14 negative quarters, aggravating the collapse of the Bolivar and the deterioration of the economy...

Dash Nation Demonstrates the Beauty of a Dash Economy



When I first learned about cryptocurrency, I dreamed about the possibilities. The legacy financial system had so many flaws, and this new way of handling finance seemed to have such a bright future. Bitcoin, created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, was the de facto leader of this new dynamic by virtue of being the first on the scene. Its ability to send any amount of money, anywhere, at any time without any borders sent my mind reeling anticipating what was to come.

Over time, however, I began to sour on the innovator due to some pretty big drawbacks. Bitcoin was definitely an improvement on the clunky legacy system, but cracks began to appear in the areas of scalability, security, privacy and economics. While the ability and the talent to fix these issues were there, the Bitcoin community was stalemated by the lack of a decisive governance mechanism to ascertain its wishes...

A Dash Embassy DACH Update from Jans Heinrich Meyer



Hello Dash community!

Dear masternode owners,

I want to give you a short update about our future plans. Before I start with the outlook, I want to inform you about some major changes in our organisation. But first of all, I want to thank you for funding us during the last cycle. This funding allowed us to pay for liabilities from July and August and saved us from running into insolvency and private debts.
Due to the financial uncertainties of the past two months I decided to cancel almost all contracts we had. This includes the office, associations, contractors and employees. All employees, including Sidem. I offered Sidem to continue working for the Embassy as a freelancer, but he declined due to private reasons. This and the fact that the network doesn’t want us to execute the activities based on the strategy document we have been working on for the last five months, puts me in a very difficult situation, because...

Dash Core Group Demonstrates DashPay Contacts and Notifications



The Dash Core Group held an information session today to show off the latest technology achieved by the team. In this second in the demonstration series, Dash Core Group CMO Fernando Gutierrez and Product Manager Brian Foster showed a live audience the contact list and notification features of the DashPay wallet.

They showed a contact request with notification to the receiver, an acceptance of the request with a notification to the sender, and another incoming contact request notification to the sender. As Brian Foster noted, this budding functionality is nothing new to social media tools. What is new, and potentially game-changing, is that all of this is being done on a decentralized network. These features are the basis of a completely new way of viewing finance, and it's our privilege to be here for its beginning...

An Update to the Voices of Dash Nation Writing Initiative



The reboot of the Dash Nation movement has sure been a busy time! After letting this website go kind of abandoned for a long time (something I'm ashamed to admit), there was a lot to do to modernize it and upgrade the front and back ends to deliver a user experience that's worthy of Dash. Dash is speedy, secure and modern, so we needed a site that could claim the same. I truly hope you like the results of our work.

But what good's a website without content? There are plenty of things to talk about with Dash. Proposals, price action, new features and requests, ideas, regulation, economics, you name it. To that end, we needed to attract some writing talent to the Dash Nation team. In July we posted a request for talent to come and write articles in either English or Spanish, as those are the major Dash-accepting communities at this point. We offered a small stipend of $10 USD for each article written, not really as a direct compensation for the time spent, but rather as a "Thank You" for donating their time and skills to the movement towards financial freedom through Dash.

There Are Two Sides to Every Story



The Bitcoin network and its many forks have had a tumultuous existence when it comes to the aspect of governance. Originally, there was one Bitcoin. Everyone was on the same page fighting for an answer to the corrupt legacy system. Soon after, however, cracks began to show in the unity. There were differing opinions on how to proceed from a technological standpoint.

Because Bitcoin didn't have and still doesn't have an effective governance mechanism to ascertain the will of the true majority, the only thing they could do was to create another coin through a "hard fork" of the code. This new coin was called Bitcoin Cash, and those that shared the same viewpoint as the leaders of Bitcoin Cash followed...

Dash Core Group CEO Ryan Taylor Provides Some Updates



Dash Core Group CEO Ryan Taylor, the leader of the Dash decentralized autonomous organization's largest development contractor, took to Twitter on Friday afternoon to provide some much anticipated updates. In a series of tweets, he informed the community that the next iteration of Dash's software will be hitting testnet imminently.

Version 0.16 of Dash's core software will include many enhancements, and will feature the new block reward allocation that has been discussed at length in the Dash community and approved in a recent governance vote. Mr. Taylor indicated that the product brief will be updated early next week, and there was only a few odds and ends to clear up before we will see a testnet release...

No, There is No Dash CEO.



In 2015, Dash created cryptocurrency's first decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO for short. Yes, it appeared even before the infamous project of the same name (The DAO) that self-destructed and ended up taking half of the Ethereum network with it. DAOs can be complicated creatures, with lots of features and nuances that are not readily visible to the casual observer. Dash's DAO has an interesting structure, but it's one that can lead to some misconceptions.

One of the biggest misconceptions that I've seen over and over and over again is the title of Ryan Taylor. Mr. Taylor is not Dash CEO, he is the CEO of the Dash Core Group. This erroneous statement has been repeated in headlines, and in more articles and videos than I can count. I understand the confusion, as it's not something that's explained regularly, but this mistake does tend to hurt Dash in an industry that values decentralization...

Breaking Down Dash's Treasury Adjustment Options



For followers of Dash, the initial shock of Ryan Taylor's closing keynote speech at the Dash Open House in December of 2019 was quite palpable. Mr. Taylor, the CEO of the Dash decentralized autonomous organization's largest contractor the Dash Core Group, threw a curveball to the audience that was tuning in expecting to see a demonstration of the latest Dash Platform developments. It felt at the time like he hijacked the whole event, as the prevailing expectation in the community was that this event was solely designed to show Dash Platform's possibilities.

Mr. Taylor closed a successful day for Dash with an unrelated, but in hindsight very important, speech about Dash's economic setup. Why was Dash, a cryptocurrency with amazing technology and successful adoption efforts around the world, a digital currency that's simply a joy to use, doing so badly in the markets? This formerly top 10 project was dropping like a stone in the CoinMarketCap rankings, with other coins that pale in comparison to Dash's accomplishments seemingly leap-frogging it on a regular basis...

Introducing an Enhanced Trading Experience with Dash FastPass



Traders are always looking to gain an edge in the highly competitive digital currency exchange scene. Often decisions are made in seconds by human traders and microseconds by trading bots. Timing is everything, and time lost in either direction of a trade results in a less than efficient, sub-optimal financial result. In short, time is money, and delays result in money being left on the table.

To gain an advantage against their peers, traders have employed various techniques. They try to use exchanges that offer a higher level of liquidity, they design trading bots that are consistently gauging market sentiment in order to make micro-trades that add up to financial gains for the builder, and they've tried to use digital currencies for inter-exchange trading that arrive at their destinations in a short time to take advantage of arbitrage...
