I'd like to say that I'm absolutely thrilled to see the trolling here. Do you know why? It's because of what the trolls can't (truthfully) say:
1) They can't say that Dash's transactions are slow. We have InstantX.
2) They can't say that Dash isn't private. The "Darksend is just Coinjoin" argument died last year.
3) They can't say that Dash's development is stalled.
4) They can't say that Dash is centralized (the reference node has been removed).
5) They can't say that Dash has to rely on donations and altruism to grow, because we have decentralized funding built into the protocol
6) They can't say that we have a governance problem, because we have decentralized governance where the entire community votes on what projects to fund
7) They can't say that our blockchain is bloated

They can't say that we don't have enough full nodes or that our node count is shrinking
All they can say is "there was an instamine." True, there was. And you can spend the next ten years arguing over whether or not it was intentional. In the meantime, we'll continue to NOT be any of those eight things above, and probably will NOT be a lot more stuff in the future.
P.S. Someone asked a few pages ago whether Darksend or ring signatures were better. Consider that Darksend is based on mixing (obfuscating) the inputs of your final transaction. Eight rounds of mixing is pretty damn secure. Consider also that ring signatures may be cryptographically secure (although the NSA connection makes me wonder), but that any cryptography, no matter how advanced, is always prone to being unmasked in the future. If ring signatures ever are broken, for instance by a new breakthrough in mathematics, then ever transaction ever made on the Monero blockchain is completely deanonymized and visible to everyone.
