Personally, I only invest in coins that prioritize decentralization and immutability, I don't buy coins that have master nodes or that change their ledgers....obviously plenty of people don't agree with my thinking and have made millions on Dark coin, the new ETH fork and whatnot....but as a group, the decentralization crowd is significant, especially now with many old coins doing well. They're also patient. I'm fine waiting 5 years before wanting to sell some Mar if that's what it takes. Hot new techs can be risky, even gimmicky, but IMO it's decentralization that holds the best potential for longevity.
Also, the elites of MAR are already committed without master nodes. There are so few buyers, you couldn't dump a big chunk of supply and leave even if you wanted to.

X11 mining makes this coin vulnerable to 51% hack , and me leery of investing real sums. Just looking for a solution to secure the block chain with out having to point my ETH miners this way.
Masternodes are not a fad.. that is FUD ... kinda like the mass FUD of miners not being profitable a year ago. It is a way to secure a block chain with out setting up and running massive sever farms. MN's are rewarding and profitable for both POS stakers and node owners. I did bring up your concerns about the cost of masternodes in later stages of adoption and was hoping we can find solutions and work our way around road blocks others have encountered.
MAR DEV:
Sorry , I can only imagine the work load some of what we are considering. The logistics and such but you are not alone here. We can and will help. I am here for the experience, not the money. fiat currency is a lousy way to keep score anyway. If we build something useful and that can retain value even better but the start of that will be a secure blockchain.
Thoughts?
