It\u2019s been another day of potential marital difficulties for crypto investors, with most asset prices chomping into the kids\u2019 college funds. But above a sea more red than a Japanese dolphin festival, DASH is floating with a 1.88 percent gain over the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n

It was a day Bitcoin dropped 4.09 percent, Ethereum 5 percent and Bitcoin Cash 8.83 percent. That\u2019s not quite the carnage of 13-15th September, but still disappointing. All the various coin fans could do was console each other, rather than brag about their chosen asset\u2019s resilience.<\/p>\n
Except DASH, that is. One unit is currently worth $352 USD, according to CoinMarketCap at press time. DASH has dipped since hitting almost $400 in August 2017, but has been mostly gaining ever since mid-September.<\/p>\n

\nThere are a few possible reasons for this. The big one is Bitmain\u2019s new Antminer D3 mining machines, which are beginning to find their way into buyers\u2019 hands. Bitsonline reviewed the unit two weeks ago and found it to be a pretty solid performer. High prices for several altcoins in 2017 have made previously ASIC-resistant mining algorithm assets suddenly profitable to mine this way.<\/p>\n
DASH Community Does PR Well<\/p>\n
DASH may also have got a boost from presenters at the recent BitKan-hosted conference in Hong Kong, who touted its privacy benefits. With price rises has come extra government scrutiny of cryptocurrency investing \u2014 which in turn has drawn more attention to assets designed to avoid just that.<\/p>\n
Rivals Moneo and Zcash make similar privacy claims, though DASH\u2019s fanbase has generally been better at getting the headlines. Privacy alone is probably not the reason for DASH\u2019s lone rise today. Its community recently raised funds to sponsor a DASH-branded bus trip across American by Max Keiser and Stephen Baldwin, which will become a TV series.<\/p>\n
There was also some concern that China was starting to restrict mining operations along with exchanges, leading to concern even within the industry. Despite a few isolated incidents and rumors, though, it appears that\u2019s not happening\u2026 yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
