MN ROI is lower now... with the stable hash, the 3,2k mn and the dash low price (2.40) 0.01% per month?
I won´t pay 2300$ if I just get 23$-5$(vps)=  18$ per month
I think your numbers are off.  You get about 2.8 DASH every 5.6 days.  So per month you get 15.5 dash.  Let's round down to 15 and use your $2.40/DASH price.  $36/month - $5 VPS = $31/month.  (I pay about $2/mo with my VPS so shopping around can save you more.)

$2.40/Dash X 1000 = $2,400 investment.

$31 per month/$2400 invested is 1.3%/month or 15.5%/year.  Do you have other investments that can get a 15.5% annual return?

In fact, even if DASH lost 10%/year you would still be making a 5.5% return which is better than any bank account or CD.  On the flip side, if dash increases 10%/year you will get a 25.5% return.

If you did buy DASH at $2.40 each, as of this post they are trading about $2.50 so you would be up 4%.  If you feel like selling at $2.40 now, I am sure anyone here would be happy to help you out.

Good post, the only thing I would add is traditional ROI does not even apply either as you are not buying a depreciating asset or giving away control of your money to a third party. It is a fully liquid investment you can sell at any time.  I think is the best you can get in crypto.

The only counter argument I can see is if you believe crypto or the project will fail completely in which case just don't invest at all.
Thanks Minotaur.

I should add a disclaimer to this.
Disclaimer:  I do own DASH and masternodes.  Your investment in DASH is not FDIC insured, but instead is fully owned by you.  Of course, FDIC insurance is really only capable of bailing out 0.57%($67.6 billion FDIC balance as of June 2014/$11.8 trillion in bank deposits) of the banks anyways, so that isn't really worth a hill of beans if there is a run on a few banks.
