Are masternodes even still a thing in 2024? The last time masternodes have been hot was in 2016-2017 with projects like Dash. The cryptocurrency industry has moved to staking now — which makes a bit more sense because it's pretty similar to dividends with stocks.
I agree with you sir, is this master node the same as the personal node that is run on each person's pc like the new oracle, which is still often used as a participant and gets rewards for trading on the exchange for such as celestia, aptos, gora etc.?
Indeed, staking is a method that is quite durable until now even though it inserts ballance but maybe this is an obstacle in itself. Unlike nodes that consume electricity or RDP, if you choose and I can afford it, maybe both, but staking is the most logical and affordable even though it is given a tutorial via online, your choice is good.
