yes but is it 100% safe? are you certain to get your btc back? Serious question
supernode is guaranteed return.

well, if you've already lend money there you know it is "safe", you only lose if poloniex suddenly goes down. there's no chance of someone takes your bitcoin because it's used at margin trade, when they close the operation your bitcoin+interest comes directly to you.

yet, i've used the lending example just to ilustrate how bad is XEM node(xem currency still good, i just dont see a good reason to run a node). Want another example? you can run a dash node for ~20btc and receive way more per month.

doesnt like dash? well, me neither so another example.
Xvc incentive node cost about 2btc, AND WITH 2 BITCOINS you will receive more then running xem node......

there are others examples too...

and again, i'm holding xem, i always recommend people here in bitcointalk to invest in XEM, yet... the node seems a very bad investment and if i'm missing something please enlighten me.

Inflation. Since August 2015, Dash has added 1 million coins to the total supply. Dashnode is a "18%" return but this number people will throw around does not account for the massive inflation inherent on the network. This deception is no different than how your neighborhood bank offers ~2% on a term deposit but the consumer purchasing index inflation robs most of those gains.

Libertarian politicians like Ron Paul would tell you inflation is a tax on the poor and middle class (and arguably the ignorant). I find it strange why a lot of cryptocurrencies are obsessed with inflating themselves to the moon. How is this an improvement on the Federal Reserve? Newflash: it isn't.

NEM supply is fixed and, with the supernode increase on September 1st, it appears to be close to 10% and no inflation is robbing that. You can run a SuperNODE, let the payouts accumulate and later when the price is higher you can sell. If you tried that on Dash, and say waited year(s) until selling, then the accumulated inflation will erode your ROI.

As well inflation itself is not good for a market when it goes bear. Miners / Dumpers still dump, regardless of what is happening, and I have seen them killed countless coins.

Interesting. How many NEM do I need for a supernode?
