Dash

Dash is a payment-focused cryptocurrency, and the whole point is fast, cheap transfers that feel lighter than older chains. By our assessment, that also means it gives up a lot of room for simple, everyday use: it lives or dies by whether people actually want a coin for payments rather than just holding it. In practice it is the sort of asset people mention when they care about moving value rather than doing much else with a token. Compared with larger, better-known coins, its place is narrower and less visible. The ceiling is the same one most payment coins hit: usefulness depends on adoption, not just on the code.
