1/ Bunch of acquaintances reached out this weekend to ask why Dash was "all of a sudden" an "overnight success". Well, here's my answer... since the last price peak on Dec 21, 2017 DCG:
- Established the Dash DAO Irrevocable Trust to enable DCG to hold reserves
2/ - Created deterministic masternode list to enable all sorts of cool tech (see below)
- Created Long Living Masternode Quorums to enable network-wide consensus on basically anything nearly instantly
- Introduced ChainLocks, which make chain reorgs basically impossible

1/ Thread... Here is my take on the announced delisting of Dash on Bittrex.
2/ Though not explicitly stated in Bittrex’s announcement, it seems likely that Bittrex undertook this action to mitigate perceived regulatory risk of cryptocurrencies that U.S. government agencies have labeled as Anonymity Enhanced Cryptocurrencies (AECs).

@PeterMcCormack@Dashpay Peter, you couldn't be more off-base about Dash. I've written an open letter, which I kept about 12 levels of respect higher than the language you used toward the Dash community. docs.google.com/document/d/1GP…
I'll post the contents here in what might be a record-breaking tweet storm.
@PeterMcCormack@Dashpay You are generally correct about the overall conditions in Venezuela; things are desperate. Our Head of Business Development @ernestocontrer is Venezuelan, so we know the situation a hell of a lot better than you. Here at Dash, we care deeply about the situation in Venezuela.

@johnbiggs@criptodiana John, your publication has had it out for Dash since forever, with the most biased reporting in the space. Most of the time, Coindesk simply ignores Dash. On the rare occasion it does cover Dash, it reports negatively skewed or patently false information. Want some examples?
@johnbiggs@criptodiana How about the time Dash got relisted on Bitfinex? The article focused on the low volume we had when first listed in 2014! "We'll see if this time it's able to retain its listing" or something to the effect. Was sure to say "the coin previously known as Darkcoin".

Obviously early days, but my initial impression of Libra is that it's another MCX. Never heard of it? Exactly. Led by Walmart, it was a smartphone-based payment system launched with great fanfare back in 2012 with an impressive list of retailers. The problem?
The retailers all joined MCX just so that they had access to information. They had no desire to actually implement it. But they also couldn't afford to be the only retailer not privy to MCX's plans. MCX insisted that member retailers couldn't accept other smartphone payments.
