Dash is a privacy coin it's has high speed transaction and transaction fee is low I used this network many times but this coin will hit new all time high I don't know , I don't have this coin if any good news come definitely I will buy this coin.
If not that the government is hunting clamping down on privacy coins, Dash would have been in a bigger competition with Monero right now but the strict regulations of the government is making centralized exchanges which are the back bone liquidity to some of these old privacy coins and it's not helpful but regardless the coin is doing well despite all this stunt from the government.
Who knows if one day privacy coins might have another voice later, people will want to rush in and now that they are cheaper, it wouldn't be bad to stack some now and wait for possibilities in the future that dash coin hold.
You are right and we all see that the government is trying to limit privacy coins because according to them they are afraid of being misused for illegal activities. Monero and dash are quite popular privacy coins and both are widely used by investors.
However, it is possible that due to restrictions by the government, both of them are unable to show their best performance. Maybe if there were no restrictions, both Monero and Dash could compete with other top coins. but that seems difficult to happen.
