For what it's worth, Dash has existed for roughly 22 months. I pulled historical price data for Bitcoin from Coindesk, and 22 months after Bitcoin's January 2009 release (that would be November 2010), the price of bitcoin was between $0.20 and $0.28. That's right--twenty to twenty-eight cents each.
In my opinion, many of us are expecting too much in terms of price and adoption. I'm sure Satoshi, Finney, and the few others involved in Bitcoin also felt like they were voices crying in the wilderness when their project was only 22 months old.
These things take time. It takes time for people to hear about you, it takes time for people to take you seriously, it takes time to build an ecosystem of exchanges, both DASH/BTC and DASH/Fiat, it takes time to get merchants to acknowledge your existence and eventually accept your currency as a form of payment.
Bitcoin is almost seven years old, and is still at least several years from any sort of mass adoption. Dash is less than two. Buy, sell, or hold, but give the team a chance to build and give the world a chance to hear about you.
