Its fucking genius
It's not fucking genius. It's potential f*cking suicide if not thought through in great detail.
Money and utility are two mutually exclusive services. You can't just stumble into a policy like this without addressing that fundamental dichotomy and work out exactly how your going to resolve it.
If demand for masternodes goes through the roof because of ROI then the coin may go out of circulation, or at least will derive all its value from a single revenue stream as opposed to a diverse micro economy. Then, along comes competition - not for the cryptocurrency but for the Dark TOR service and bang goes your revenue stream and along with it your entire cryptocurency.
On the other hand, the service aspect of the coin could act as a bootstrap mechanism in giving real value to the currency and propelling it into wider adoption and circulation....IF the fundamental dichotomy above (between monetary value and utility value) is recognised and highly controlled.
For my own part, I'm very clear. I'm investing in a currency, not an internet service provider of which there are thousands. Nor am I investing in a f*cking business.
The more utility value a currency has, the less monetary value it can have. Nothing can get round that fundamental fact and people need to have it in big neon lights in front of their noses before getting dollar signs in their eyes.
