The ONLY positive metrics out of all I follow is the total MN count, currently at 2663, but this raises another underlying issue I'd like to inquire about. It seems to me MN payments reward system creates even greater inequality in MN space than in the fiat world. Help me understand the math guys please:
If you have a $1,000.000.00 in fiat and I have $1,000.00 and we both invest in CD getting 5% a year you will have, compounded, in 10 years
$1,628,894.62 and I will have $1,628.89. So you still have 1000 times more than I have. Correct?
Now, I have a Masternode and Otoh has 1,000 Masternodes. (these are hypothetical numbers to make the math easier to follow) Also a thousand times more than me. But both my 1K and his 1M yield, say, 5% a year. (again, for easier math)
So now, 1,000 masternodes = 1,000,000 coins = at 5% gives 50,000 coins "interest" or another 50 Masternodes.
So now he has (compounding his profit) 1,050 MN vs. my 1 (plus 50 coins)
The 2nd year, his 1,050 MN gets 52500 coins to my 50. so, on the second year he has 1102 (plus 0.5 to invest with splawik) Masternodes and I still have one MN (and 100 coins as interest)
Is he now 1,100 times richer than I am or still "only" 1,000 times?
Math is a tricky thingy and I am not sure I understand it but you guys are smarter than me. What's wrong with my calculations or, if nothing, isn't that MN "compounding" can create a much wider wealth gap than it is the case in fiat? (if so, it also gives enormous voting power to only a few hands, even worse than in the corrupt political system of the fiat world...)
Let's look at some pretty pictures with your math.

Seems like same numbers to me shifted by the decimal point just like your compounding fiat example? I'm bad at maths so what did I miss?
