Now, while the price is affordable, you can buy yourself a node, and preferably several, when the price rises then they will be very expensive to buy. But usually people are subject to the opinion of the crowd and lose where you need to buy and get where it's time to sell...
At purchase it is more favorable to put a wall on purchase than to buy at higher price...
There are no reason for the price to rise, there's need to be an active development and real use case to create a market and demand for the coin.
For now its purely speculative coin and majority are still selling their masternode rewards.
We cannot expect significant growth while waiting for developing the product. The road map is available for everyone and investors should understand, that now it's time to support the team and hold.
