I wonder if team monero realise that now the currency is associated with the dark markets (which is by no means exclusive anyway), they have precluded the currency from mainstream adoption, which dash is aiming for. No one will touch a currency associated with the sale of guns, drugs and child pornography. I think when people realise this, the steam in monero's recent will run will all but disappear.
This is something dash will now not have to deal with
I disagree with this statement completely. Dash is medium for exchange, thats it. End of story right there. What is exchanged is not a concern of Dash. That is concern for law enforcement potentially but not Dash or cash or bitcoin.
I also agree in that DASHs function is that of a medium of exchange. That being said, there are negative implications on a community and it's developers when actively marketing to deep/dark web thus aligning themselves and the currency with those activities. IMHO.
I think differently from you, I'm speculating deep/dark web will ignite a paradigm shift to monero once it proved to be completely private and fungible in real world use
while dash is striding on the path of being a centralized high-yield investment program (HYIP) scheme with a shiny GUI.
