Again DMD seems to be resistant to bitcoin spikes, while sooo many other alts dump 20+% dmd actually gains value on days like these.
This has been the case over and over again all year, when bitcoin goes up, DMD stays constant..50% of the entire supply locked in masternodes provides such a strong backbone for the price.
Masternode owners are in the business of making more masternodes. The more locked in, the stronger the backbone, you are correct bitChipper (also lets not forget the proof-of-stake investors). Overtime DMD will become less prone with under-performance when BTC spikes upward. Most Altcoins take a hit when this happens anyways.
This is DMD's high growth and reward period which is needed to offset BTC's drastic growth. As other members have mentioned
"exposure" will be the key to propelling this currency.
