I'm a noob to Cryptocurrency trading so please take this comment as from someone who doesnt have the extensive knowledge of the cryptocurrency environment. I think the 25 million masternode is a high hurdle to jump. I thinking in the case in which an investor may want to change their current investment position by selling half or all of their shares, thus causing the price to tumble. It may or may not cause a panic for all, but for a small few, it could, then what?
Hi, welcome to this forum! Experience has shown that when masternodes are introduced, the price will usually jump high because many people try to buy as many coins as possible in order to qualify for the masternode amount. If the required amount is very high, smaller investors will hold and wait for the price to rise, and big investors will invest big in order to get a masternode. So at the end, everyone profits although there can be some danger of a price bubble building up.
On the other hand, if the price is low, then many people will already be able to afford a masternode, thus there is no need for them to buy any further coins. Also this defeats the idea of having masternodes with special rights to secure the network, if the average Eve can run such a node.
Also, if you learn to think in quantities that are normal in this field of cryptocurrencies, 25 Million at the current price would be roughly $1500 USD which is less than 1 BTC. That is an extremely low price actually.
