Masternode must be a worst idea in my opinion because it let our money to be spent for VPS whereas with POS you may spend all your money into cryptos which again may work for you. But the money you spend for VPS is going away from this crypto space which will indirectly affect all of us in long run. Just take time to think about it.
I mean every single penny must be important.; So, why should we allow money to be going away from this crypto space in the name of setting up masternode. All masternode operators must think about adopting POS algorithm which must be the great thing we must have because it encourages the investors by paying interest to their money.
That is really a great perspective like we should not allow money to move out of crypto world. Any staking method should encourage people to keep on investing within crypto world. I completely agree with you because each and every penny is more important if a concern about building more valuable future. When we are spending some $5 for VPS hosting every month then that will end up summing up very big money over the time and when we are calculating for thousands of crypto adopters then it will be a very huge money but it is going really out of crypto world. That is very bad. So, masternode concept should not be encouraged in my opinion too.
You completely miss the point of masternodes.
Masternodes is not supposed to be hosted by the average Joe. A masternode is basically a server you setup, which is online 24/7. This is of HUGE benefit as it can take jobs benefitting YOU as the consumer.
A network of 2000+ masternodes can host a multitude of decentralized dApps and services that empowers the blockchain it runs on. I'm paying ZERO dollars on my masternodes, as I use the Stakenet Cloud to host my nodes, this supports the project, and I'm basically just paying the VPS costs using parts of my profits.
Traditional masternodes is
useless as they don't do anything other than verifying transactions on the network, same as someone staking basically. You can run a masternode without a VPS on your own computer, but if you plan to run more than one, you wont be able to, as you need different IP's and hardware to do so.
