Masternodes are a new way to make money on cryptocurrencies. The scale of the niche is still small compared to classic mining, but the potential is great.
At the same time, with masternodes, you do not need to spend money on the purchase and configuration of video cards or ASIC devices, as well as rent large areas to accommodate equipment.
The annual profitability of masternodes is currently significantly higher than that of a bank deposit.
