difference between Dash and Bitcoin?
Dash Vs Bitcoin
Bitcoin’s shortcomings led to the development of the cryptocurrency Dash, but do Dash’s results live up to its lofty ambitions?
Bitcoin entered the scene in 2009 and developed a sizable network effect in a realm of little competition. However, as the Bitcoin network grew and development standardized, improvements became difficult to implement. Such changes require an overwhelming consensus from all network participants, thus creating numerous contentious debates, as has been witnessed recently in the Bitcoin scaling debate. As a result, a lot of Bitcoin’s shortcomings are now solidified into the protocol, meaning that it can only maintain certain specific use cases.
