ROI is becoming a bit of a trigger word for you it seems, even though it has been used in cryptospace for many many many years now. With different definitions.
If Dash is to become "competitive" again - I mean aggressively competitive like it was in its early years before the market became crowded - then it can't afford the kind of laissez faire fanboy, "nothing to see here" promotion that you do in this thread.
You don't do Dash any favours.
There is only one definition of "ROI" and the clue is in the words "Return" on "Investment". The return is on the invested capital, not the 1000 Dash. So if, at the end of the year your 1060 Dash is worth less than what you paid for the 1000 Dash then the ROI is negative. It is not 6%.
You do not get to create your own fake definition of that term just so that what you're promoting looks good alongside competitors. If "other people are doing it" then "other people" are equally scammy. It doesn't do us any favours to join the bandwagon but rather stops us from adequately addressing the real issues such the capital value of holdings and optimising capital gain. It makes like it doesn't exist = you still get 6% return even if the coin loses value. Well you don't as any long term masternode holder will testify.
It's the same hypocrisy as bigging up the treasury system while at the same time dismissing any criticism of masternodes being an economic drag on the coin. Nobody would be likely to argue against getting good value from the treasury such that the proposals presented don't come in at a ridiculous budget over cost. Yet you seem happy for the blockchain to pay masternodes (which are no more than a treasury contractor) several thousands of percent over cost. The treasury and the masternode budget originate from exactly the same source. Paying "too much" for either causes exactly the same economic drag on the coin.
The same is not true for mining. The mining supply that gets "dumped" on markets draws a revenue that goes straight to paying for upwards difficulty adjustments so you can dump mining supply all day long and it just makes the coin harder to access.
Cleaning up these 2 pieces of "scamdom":
• ditching the term ROI in favour of a more adequately termed descriptor and
• getting rid of the huge masternode "flab" margins that hold our capital value down
...would go a long way to streamlining competitiveness and getting us ready for a more sustainable next bull market.
