I don't get why is masternode count rising while the price is falling. No masternode payments can ever compensate losses from the dumps. So you can make more profit if you sell at the right time rather than from making masternodes.
The only reason I see is that there are many people who just want to selflessly support the project regardless of the ROI.
There are some of us that believe this is a good price and good time to buy. (and if you just got paid from installing a few solar jobs, you have some funds to put into DASH.)
The question is, do you trust a bank(subject to bail-ins), a fiat currency(inflating away), or the first ever decentralized, distributed voting, private, instant, secure cryptocurrency, with an x% payback with masternodes.
