No it was you that brought mining into the discussion just before your POS comment, I didn't mention any mining equipment.
Actually you did. Here is the quote again.
Imagine buying $4,000 worth of BTC mining equipment in April 2016
I don't have to "imagine". I actually bought mining equipment in 2016
I love how you keep lying and lying and lying on top of other lies, like this one here:
About profitability... When I said my numbers were conservative I was being serious. For instance I didn't factor in the first year reward of 23 ion per block vs the current 17 ion
365 days x 23 ion = 8,365
365 days x 17 ion = 6,205
Reward per block does not equal masternode earnings per day.
I took a worse case scenario when I put those numbers together and it still came out more profitable than had I bought and held the equivalent in BTC. Your response as always is just insults. How about some maths to back up your statements or an example of how the Miner you bought in 2016 is so much better. Yesterday the masternode I started in April 2016 daily payout was around 24 ION/.0071436 BTC/$61.68 and is set to give me an income this month of around $1,800. The monthly running cost is higher than normal at around $12, the node is running 24/7 on a VPS.
How does that compare to the 2016 miner you still have running ? what is it ? how much are you earning and how much does it cost you to run ?
Yeah right. First you whine when I post about mining, now you want me to post about mining. Start a new thread in the appropriate board if you want to discuss that.
Back to topic - no, what you're posting is not the "worse case", it's pretty much the ideal case. You still haven't addressed this:
How about 19k coins? Or 35k? Or cold wallets?
