DASH

It's more than just the speculation of a made-up overly volatile value. I signed up for Robinhood today. so much easier to jump right into trading. Very similar to online poker or game. There's not really any explanation of what you are getting when you sign up though. It's not overly clear that you don't actually own the coins. It's not clear what this value is. Is this only the value in Robinhood? you aren't able to trade the coins or buy things... only paired to USD. There are projects and ideas behind crypto coins and tokens. Maybe I thought too highly of Etherium a few years back. I laughed at Cryptokitties, aren't we still laughing at Doge in TikTok? Until I have a better alignment to fanboi status, maybe I should just keep to BTC. And then I think about a recent experience that worked really well...

Dash (the ap)- super fast wallet, low fees, easy sign-up, easy QR code scan for send/receive.

Bitrefill (the ap)- buying gift cards. So many options available these days that you can buy with Dash. Consumer staples like Target and Walmart. 

I signed up for the Dash app on the phone. Easy, took about a minute to download. Sign up was maybe 5 minutes. Same thing with Bitrefill - DL and Sign up. got the Bitrefill linked to the Dash wallet. Received Dash using a QR code. The transaction was instant. This beats bitcoin at the transaction price and just how long the transaction takes. I was able to use a gift card I bought with Dash on the Bitrefill app to buy a Target gift card. Was able to use this gift card to make a purchase online for free 2-day shipping. 

Liking DASH to TGT/WMT. Amazon gift cards can also be purchased through bit refill... coin accumulation would be so great to get good at now. Need more practice. 

It is interesting that Robinhood only watches real-time data streams for DASH but doesn't actually let you "hold" it.
