You've probably been following a lot longer than most. Most of those rushing to BTC now just heard about it ;-) I guarantee you go up and ask someone on the street what Dash is, and they'll tell you it's a condiment (again, in America lol) or look at you like you have 10 heads.

If you then ask them - ok, you've heard of Bitcoin, right? Then they will probably start reciting headlines to you and assume DASH is the same thing lol. I'm going to maintain that BTC will always retain value as digital memorabilia. And since I picked one up when it was $400...I really have nothing to lose lol.

(NZ sounds like paradise...)
