It is still not too late to convert 1 masternode into 1000 XMR. With Jaxx (first privacy option since DASH private send and ZEC "z" addresses are not supported by Jaxx while Monero is private by default) coming soon and RingCT activating early next month a 1/1 exchange might not be an option much longer
A bit cheap attempt to convince DASH users to buy XMR.
I think that most people who are able to invest 1000 coins for DASH are smart enough to see the pro/cons of XMR/DASH. I predict that next year DASH will have already at least 20% less masternodes.
