Check out CRAVE and PIVX and other masternode coins on https://masternodes.pro/, they have a decent return and more stability because of the locked up capital.
Awesome. Honestly, PIVX is one of the best masternode coins out there in the market. It combines the goodness of Dash, plus the convenience of PoS, making it highly efficient in energy consumption. Given its supportive community, and constant development, it may be the best investment you could make nowadays.
Things aside, there are other masternode coins worth checking which are extremely inexpensive like Amsterdamcoin. Once they rise in price, it will become more difficult to get a masternode as the required collateral will become expensive.
Nevertheless, there is a wide selection of PoS coins available in the market to choose from. Considering that PoS takes minimal effort to setup and reduces energy costs, it may be the most ideal way to profit for the long term. Just my opinion
You're 100% right and you didn't even mention that it's the ONLY PoS with zerocoin protocol implementation making it arguably the most effective privacy coin out there.
PIVX continues to be the top Proof of Stake coin out there.
Honorable mention to PoSW... they're about a month away from implementing Masternodes, lightning compatibility, masternode pools, and much more. Lots of room for growth there.
My top 3 PoS:
1. PIVX
2. PoSW
3. DCR
(this should remain an accurate list until Ethereum's Casper update to PoS)
