Dash Jokes It Could Surpass Bitcoin Demand on Square PoS After Dorsey Quote

Published at 2025-11-14 12:33:58

Dash's official X account sent a playful response Thursday after Block Inc. CEO Jack Dorsey quoted Elon Musk saying, “The most interesting outcome is usually the most likely.” The payment-focused token used the moment to suggest it might be the surprising beneficiary of demand on Square's point-of-sale (PoS) platform, a scenario that would reshuffle expectations about which crypto assets gain real-world payment traction. Why it matters: Square's PoS is a major on-ramp for merchant crypto acceptance, and public banter like this underscores competition for that plumbing. If alternative tokens see rising PoS demand, it could influence merchant choices, developer attention, and liquidity for BTC and LTC pairs on payment rails — especially as networks and upgrades aim to optimize fees and settlement speed. The exchange highlights ongoing debate over which tokens will win practical payments use versus store-of-value narratives.
