I have raised money and I want to set up a masternode, because according to my research it is one of the best ways to earn passive income within the crypto world. I have also investigated about the different alt projects that have masternodes to configure, but I would like to hear from the crypto community what experiences you all have had with masternodes in order to make my choice
If all you want is passive income .... than the best way to achive repeatable results with the lowest possible risk (what characterizes investing in passive income) than the best way to achive that is stable coins liquidity pools on BSC. You can get up to 15% APY while the only risk you take is failure of stable coin. For example exit scam of binance (failure of BUSD) which looks to be unlikely.
When you cide to run masternode you are exposed to currency risk of owning a bag of altcoins that are extreamly volatile. 30-50% APY from owning a masternode looks decent but annual volatility (-95% or x10) makes even this decent profit negligible. Especially since almost all the masternodes that pay high APY pays them from creating new coins, which inflates the old ones making NET APY much lower.
