Is there evidence miners are less likely to hodl than masternode owners? I need to see proof because I smell bullshit
Even if there is it doesn't matter because miners have a transaction on the "buy side" to compensate for their sale. So at worst they're brokers, not sellers. An exchange investor is the ultimate net buyer.
Masternodes however have no such compensating activity on the "buy side". They are net sellers when rewards are realised. The investor who buys their coin ? Their investment capital does not reach the blockchain, it gets diverted into MN pocket never to be seen again by the Dash ecosystem.
This is what eats the marketcap on a chronic basis relative to fully-mined competitors.
This is the sort of twisted logic I've come to expect from governments. Jog on, Toknormal.
