These are my opinions only and not financial advice.
We all know that in the crypto world fast transactions with security and privacy are usually the top reasons to invest in that coin. With BTC having its current conflicts of delayed transaction times and large fees people are searching for alternatives. DASH has been rumored heavily to being added to coinbase soon increasing the influx of new people to it. With LTC having already been on a hell of a tear itself since being added, with its well-known creator Mr. Chikun himself Charlie Lee. Since Dec 23 2016 DASH’S price has risen from $9.77 cents to a monster $1331! A whopping 13,523 %! LTCs growth since Dec 23 2016 $4.42 to $300 now is an impressive 6687%! The reason for DASH’s growth is simple marketing,adoption and tech!
Having the ability to completely privatize a transaction as well as faster non private transactions is amazing! Having the masternode system with ASIC mining capabilities helped the miners gravitate towards it as well. Yes other coins can do anon tx like Monero but how user friendly is it really? Loading up and spending DASH is grandma friendly and already hugely adopted overseas and here in the US as well. DASH is a no brainer over BTRASH AKA BCC,BCH and whatever the hell ver wants to call it nowadays. Ver is trying to capitalize on fear for his market to gain traction. Meanwhile DASH and LTC are over here going “ahem we already do that, and we do it better than you”!
Technical merits aside the market is speaking loudly and you should listen. People like stability and ease of use. You can buy anything you like with DASH and LTC right now and the TX fees are extremely cheap. What can you buy with your BTRASH? An asic miner to mine DASH maybe? LTC has some major advancements coming out soon, as well as a BIG new partnership. Facebook payments is what im hearing. Not to mention their deal with STEAM they just made as well.
When I invest in something I look at who is marketing it, whos behind it and does it serve a major purpose? DASH has a great way of marketing and it has done them well. LTC also has the legend Satoshi Lite behind it paving the way to the BTC and LTC silver to gold ratio. Who wants to invest in an egomaniacal assclowns cash grab? Ver learned something during his prison stint that’s for sure. It was how to manipulate and steal with impunity. The tech behind the BTC clone is flawed and has been pointed out as being flawed long before it forked. So when you invest, do you just throw your money at it and pray? Or do you put it into something tried true and tested? My money for 2018 sits nicely in these categories with no order of importance BTC-DASH-LTC-MISC ALTS.
