What is Dash?

DASH was BitcoinDark back in the days and it was instant mined 1 million plus coins in few hours of launch because it had a such a shady launch I won't recommend anyone using it. The reason for the price pump this year it's because it cost 1,000 DASH to create a Masternode and if you dig deeper and you will find that 50% of all DASH are vested in Masternodes and likely owned by the few people who instant mined the coins from block 0.
