I found this interesting today, doing some research.
It is good when Crypto gets this kind of large scale, main stream media spotlight but in cases where facts are off, or the angle of the story/writers slants one way or the other, can cause issues of course.
--
The SUN opted to lead with that headline and this opening phrase, which of course is not untrue. But it definitely is a leading one.
Anyone thinking of investing in Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency should be very careful - their values are volatile, with the ability to plummet as quickly as they shoot up.
Some other things they went on to say here were:
Dash is similar to Litecoin in that it was created to improve on the weakness of the bitcoin network.
It was first called XCoin, before becoming darkcoin.
It then merged into Dash - representing "digital cash".
The developers of this currency created the world's first self-funding and self-governed blockchain protocol.
This refers to a peer-to-peer cryptocurency that uses a two-tier network, rather than a single-tier.
This network is achieved through an incentive based system where 10 per cent of each block portion is allocated back to Dash developers who get payments for contributions.
-- which is not quite correct in the last sentence there. It is not the 10% that goes to the dev's per se --- that is a marketing fund used for funding network and development..... and the people who make PROPOSALS for ideas/projects that contribute to the DASH network and community.
DASH is pretty easy to find info on. I know the Sun is not the greatest paper in the world but it looks like they have a 12 year old doing the article.
Here is DASH approved actual (simple) wording right from their Governance pages inside the main website. I know I have blogged a lot on DASH but I have also spent time learning and putting in the hours too!
I do not have a ton of DASH but that is how I was able to pick out the problems in this article so quickly.

The DGBB also provides a means for Dash to fund its own development.
While other projects have to depend on donations or premined endowments, Dash uses 10% of the block reward to fund its own development.
Every time a block is mined, 45% of the reward goes to the miner, 45% goes to a masternode, and the remaining 10% is not created until the end of the month.
During the month, anybody can make a budget proposal to the network. If that proposal is approved by at least 10%* of the masternode network, then at the end of the month a series of "superblocks" will be created. At that time, the block rewards that were not paid out (10% of each block) will be used to fund approved proposals.
The network thus funds itself by reserving 10% of the block reward for budget projects.

Some other things.... besides the grammar mistakes and lack of research of course......
--
Features include something called "InstantSend" which is instantaneous in a transfer, and "PrivateSend" which keeps the user to be anonymous.
-- where the Anon. feature is actually not quite fully functioning for awhile now, the last I heard.
But in all cases buyers must purchase a Dash wallet, where the currency will be transferred through.
---- this really had me -- you do not need to purchase a wallet LOL, and I don't know of any crypto that you DO have to!
I think I might send this to a few of the DASH Core / community leaders I know! They are always very ready to do interviews, answer questions or offer genuine corrections with things I have always found.

DASH 101:
Dash is a digital cash.
It provides a way for people to maintain their economic freedom when powers seek to force people into trackable electronic transactions. Dash is a decentralized network, supported by a Peer-To-Peer network of servers worldwide.
There is a limit to the amount of Dash that will ever be created, so no central authority will be able to print some and devalue your hard-earned money.
--- DASH, THE DIGITAL ALTERNATIVE TO CASH ---
-- Some Recent DASH News I had reported on recently:
( DASH Brazil Official Update )
--
Rod talks about his proposal successes, his coverage of international Dash events, and his new proposal coming up soon. Remember, this is only one Dash Nation member of many who are pulling together to make sure Dash succeeds, and despite short-term setbacks, succeed we will.

DASH 101 Continued:
It currently features instantly confirming transactions, allowing it to be sent and recieved anywhere in the world in seconds, no matter what time of day, for next to no fees. It also features optional private transactions, for those sensitive purchases. In the future it will offer savings accounts similar to banks.
Dash is the complete package, and I urge you to download a wallet and let me know you did!

good research, never give up certainly we find satisfactory results right
Without benefit of doubt, cryptos is slowly but surely taking over the FX market...
This is a comprehensive research and an awesome review of the newspaper report. However, cryptos is slowly taking charge of the world. Good article
my bad
You are going to get flagged to 0 in no time, if you put this kind of reply out, size wize and spam wise in a week. It has nothing to do with my content here, and it is large and brutal.
