When DASH masternode came I hesitated and didnt buy it. PIVX was very cheap and I thought it is not going somewhere, I just bought 5k. I could buy 100k and be rich now. A few month ago I looked at the coins with masternode and I found Chaincoin, I doubted about it and I just bought 1300 chc. i could buy a mln chc and now i was a millionaire. Now I know I made a mistake not buying these masternode coins. i told myself it is not too late and I can just start to buy affordable masternodes. The reason these coins grow is that 1. masternodes give rewards, 2. By having masternode the coins will be locked away and it helps rise of value. Now after much experience and regret I started to buy cheap masternodes cause I cant aford expensive ones. Full disclosue, I have 14 mastenodes right now and I am going to buy cheap ones until I collect 100 masternodes. In avarage if one mastenode in 2018 give me 100 usd a month i will earn 10k usd a month. So far I have Eternity, Syndicate, coinonat, Neutron, Terracoin trc (not Teracoin), 8bit, PosW, Incakoin, Amsterdamcoin, Flaxscript, Renoscoin, and counting. Most promising ones are Syndicate and eternity. I believe if you follow my path you will become rich in near future with passive income for rest of your life. Just buy 100 masternodes and let a PC work for you. The more value of a coin raises the more rewards in USD for MN holders. Good luck.
I agree with you on the potential of altcoin masternode, but not on the most promising ..
For my part I like very much:
- BITSEND: very good project with a strong team, and a long term vision. And one of the best wallet on the market.
- RENOS: very good community, and very good leadership, but the project is reconstruction phase, so we have to follow it very closely.
- SIBCOIN: Russian project that no one is watching. This is a mistake, with 6000 active masternode, this is the part that has the most active masternode in the world. This is a very important sign of very high support from the community and minors. You must be wary of Sibcoin!
- NEOSCOIN: Very good developer and excellent community, and a decentralized web project that has a lot of potential. A very promising idea of decentralized governance
- TERRACOIN: One of the oldest crypto currency, an interesting name on which to capitalize. An intelligent and responsive developer, and a foundation project that can have potential.
- ZENCASH: do not forget Zencash, it is a DASH with a really better technology (with IFPS / zeroknowledge), and a remuneration of masternodes that will increase. The potential is really very interesting with more solid investors!
