It can be spent easily and instantly online at merchants across the globe, at much lower fees than credit and debit cards.<\/p>\n<p id=\"bb0c\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">With a committed development team and a unique blockchain mining and treasury model, Dash is the only major self-funded, self-governed organization in the cryptocurrency industry&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Please read Full Article here:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"espite the explosive advancements taking place in the world of digital money, some in the crypto community have become increasingly disenchanted with Bitcoin.
