Dash's DAO is one of the first decentralized fundraising systems of its kind and the first internationally recognized DAO. For example, the community has already invested over $800,000 in projects to accelerate the introduction of Dash in Venezuela and is constantly looking for new applications to support DASH (e.g. Vaultoro) to offer its users a wide range of everyday applications.
Vaultoro is a gold bullion exchange with which accepts crypto (including bitcoin via the lightning network!) and is one of my planned goto places to take profits next time the crypto market goes parabolic. The main feature of DASH is really it's governance model rather than it's (weakish) privacy features.
