Just to be safe, Suchmoon may not have been serious about putting that big of an investment into ION or any cryptocurrency, but I don't want to put words in someone's mouth.   There are a lot of coins to invest in, I chose this one. My situation may be different, since I have been around since the start. I gave my two son's some ION for Christmas and helped them create an account at STKE.io. It is run by a few members of our community. It provides a service where lots of people buy shares of a Masternode and share the payouts, minus any fees.  Not that you should trust me, you don't know me, but I have been using them since they started the first spreadsheet based Community Masternode service. They have come a long way. Take a look and if I can't feel confident in answering your questions, I will see if I can get someone from Ionomy to help.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!
