title: "Why I Left A Multi-Billion Dollar Hedge Fund For Dash"
---
Just one year ago, I made the equal parts thrilling and terrifying decision to quit my position at a multi-billion dollar hedge fund in New York to help lead Dashs Core Team an open source digital currency project similar to Bitcoin. The offer was incredibly compelling… compensation below minimum wage, no benefits, long hours and the opportunity to help transform the digital currency landscape.
Naturally, my family, friends, and colleagues widely considered this decision to be risky and even stupid. I held a conviction others couldnt understand at the time. At the hedge fund, I covered the payments industry, and I determined that Dash was making incredibly savvy moves to position itself for success.
The past year has proven my loved-ones concerns to be unfounded. Whilst I had been partially involved in the Dash project since 2014, I joined full time March 31st last year as Director of Finance. The total market capitalization has increased a phenomenal 1,137% since then, breaking into the list of top 5 most valuable cryptocurrencies in the world, but its growth since inception has been equally impressive. We have experienced at least triple digit growth for the fourth year in a row, and adoption is climbing rapidly; trading volumes increased 7,929% from March 2016 to March 2017 to over $33 million USD per day.
More importantly, Dash is seeing its ecosystem of available end-user services beginning to match those available through Bitcoin. From asset trading at WhaleClub, to purchasing discount Amazon gift cards at Bitcart, to topping up a debit card, Dash is increasingly being added alongside previously Bitcoin-only services.
So why is Dash growing so much faster than other digital currencies? There are many reasons why. To put it simply, Dash anticipated and solved the key issues plaguing first-generation digital currencies like Bitcoin and the many “copy/paste” versions of nearly identical currencies.
First, and perhaps most importantly, Dash has an effective voting-based governance mechanism built-in, allowing key decisions affecting the network to be made quickly and without unnecessary drama. This results in incredible cohesion among Dashs users, miners, and operators. In fact, Dashs latest software upgrade took only 100 hours for our miners to update, compared with months or even years for new features in many other projects. This allows Dash to more nimbly compete in the market and avoid deadlocks.
Second, Dash is self-funding. Whereas most digital currencies raise the funds needed for development through either fundraising, developer sponsorships, or “initial coin offerings” (ICOs), the Dash network itself pays a number of entities that serve its needs directly from its blockchain including the Dash Core Team, for whom I work.
This self-funding model keeps Dash free from outside influencers, and ensures funding is perpetually available. It also ensures that all of the networks needs are being met, not just development. This includes normal business functions such as marketing, legal counsel, business development, and administrative functions. As a result, integrating Dash is a much easier decision for merchants to make. They can get funding support for implementation and technical support as needed, as though they were interacting with a regular company.
Third, Dash focuses on delivering features and improvements end-users value. For example, Dash offers instant transactions, which confirm as fast as a credit card. Bitcoin transactions take about 10 minutes under optimal conditions, but can take hours during periods of network congestion. Dash also offers enhanced privacy for balances and transactions.
But Dash is only getting started. At our current market cap, Dashs self-funding budget is now over $6 million. The Dash Core Teams full-time staff is doubling to over 35 people, and is able to poach some of the best programmers in the industry from other projects with generous compensation.
Whats next for Dash is our landmark software release, codenamed Evolution. Dashs Evolution release will fundamentally change the digital currency user experience, for both end-users and merchants. Long cryptographic addresses will be replaced with usernames. Users will be able to login with a username and password from any device and store frequently-used contacts similar to centralized networks like PayPal. It will integrate a loyalty program to incentivize consumers to switch, while shifting transaction fees to the merchant. In short, Evolution applies payments industry best-practices to a field that has woefully underserved its end-users.
Dash is extremely unconventional within the digital currency industry. And that is precisely what makes it so compelling. Dash is unwilling to accept the current paradigms of how a digital currency should work, and are challenging the industry to improve and learn from what already works in the payments industry. I believe that doing so will enable the benefits of digital currency to reach a much wider audience, and in short time.

title: "SHAKEPAY CARD REVIEW"
---
The ShakePay card is one of the early adopters in a growing field of directly Dash-enabled debit cards. Its a streamlined, simple card that works surprisingly well for how basic it looks.
This review is broken down into function and form categories, with a summary at the end.
FUNCTION
Card The card itself is very plain, a simple black card with no issuer details public visible. The only distinguishing factor is “prepaid” written on the card. The card functions well with swipe or chip. Compared to other cards, with which I had issues being declined at various merchants, with ShakePay Ive never experienced an issue. The card simply works.
Loading Unlike some other cards, which have an internal wallet, with ShakePay you simply send Dash to the card loading address and it gets processed into a fiat balance. Very straightforward. The absence of an internal wallet means that with Bitcoin you cant pre-send some over for quick loading, meaning you might have to wait a few hours every time you decide to load your card, but with Dash this isnt a problem.
For a speed test I sent Dash using InstantSend and gauged the time it took for funds to appear on my card. The time between when the transaction was sent to the time I had available balance on the card was seven minutes total. This is likely due to an additional confirmation beyond InstantSend being required (some services require this), taking up roughly two minutes, and a five minute processing time to load the funds. This means you can drive to morning coffee, realize you dont have enough funds on your card, add Dash, and have available funds by the time youve entered the coffee shop and have to pay for your order.
Fees Issuing a card costs $15, and a monthly $1 maintenance fee is assessed. Bitcoin loading fees are %1, while Dash and Ethereum are 3%. For Dash this ends up being a little high, but compared to using ShapeShift to switch to Bitcoin and dealing with all those fees and delays, it ends up being worth it.
Availability As with most cryptocurrency cards, ShakePay is available all over the world, with a few notable exceptions, namely the US. Cards can still be denominated in US dollars, but must be shipped to a foreign address.
FORM
Web interface The web app is simple and streamlined, providing a clean interface with the requisite information and nothing more. Basic account settings and card information is clearly displayed, along with card limits and fees. Basic options are to load and create cards, as well as upgrade the AML/KYC level of verification.
Mobile interface The mobile app, on the other hand, is extremely bare-bones. Its so simple that when I first download it I thought I had the wrong app. It mainly includes a transaction history and an option to load funds. The simplicity certainly takes some getting used to, and the average consumer may be hesitant to trust it at first.
Ordering a card The ordering process was disconcertingly simple, and a bit confusing. I filled out my address, but could find no clear “order card” option. Instead I was prompted to load the card to get started. The invoice generated amounted to about $36 worth of Dash, while the amount to be loaded said $20. After loading I received a confirmation text.
What really happened was that I ordered a card and loaded it in a single action, and the card was shipped to me. However, none of this was very clear, and for weeks I wasnt even sure that the card had been ordered. To better avoid misunderstandings, customers should be informed that the invoice breakdown includes the card fee, and shown a message indicating that their card has indeed been shipped.
SUMMARY
Pros: Reliable card, verified and unverified options, easy and fast loading.
Cons: High fees for loading Dash, confusingly simple interface, not available in the US.
SHAKEPAY CARD SCORE
77%
SHAKEPAY CARD CONCLUSION A very no-frills but efficient and reliable solution for those looking to live off of Dash.
