Ryan Taylor, CEO of Dash Core Group, joins Charlie Shrem on this week’s episode of Untold Stories. Charlie and Ryan begin by discussing the Dash focus on the user experience and how Dash has been working towards adoption, especially in Venezuela, and growing when other coins have not. The conversation flows into talk of the Dash block rewards, masternodes, security, and comparing to other networks. Charlie asks why Dash doesn't have a troll army which leads Ryan to tout Dash's positive culture. Charlie brings up launching the Dash DAO and Ryan discusses the concerns of project leaders at the time as well as explaining how the DAO ensures accountability. They talk of the near-term future of Dash and upcoming products, and finish up with a discussion on censorship resistance and Ryan's declaration that Dash's open source nature makes it highly resistant to external attempts to shut it down. --- BitPay gives you the tools to live life on crypto.
