or one of those charts people will pretend they bought later.

The levels are stupidly clear:

$150 → $285 → $477.

Final target = roughly +2,200%.

Nobody cares about 
$DASH
 right now.

That’s kind of the point."

 keeps privacy in the design.

Built-in privacy dates to 2014.

• CoinJoin came first.
• Zero-knowledge proofs came later.

That history still sets it apart.

Privacy is a product choice here."
