Masternode shares are coming to dash: https://github.com/dashpay/dash-roadmap/blob/master/README.md#f1
What concerns me is no explanation of how this will affect the masternode count. i.e. MNOs selling up, keeping half the capital and putting the other half into someone elses masternode... except we're all going to have the same idea. The pay gap better be good!
I'm not privy to any secret Core Team ideas in this space, but I have followed the conversation well enough to know that they will go to great lengths to insure that the miners can still mine profitably, and the Masternodes can still get a good incentive to provide services, and well aligned incentives such that they still govern for the benefit of Dash the currency, and Dash the community.
And trust me when I say that there's plenty (raised to the power of a jillion) of profit margin for all the participants in the Dash ecosystem to benefit financially (and otherwise), miners, Masternodes, the Dash community and users.
To Demo, who suggests that we don't recognize that Dash is a currency, you couldn't be more wrong. We recognize just fine that Dash is a currency, and further, I would put the idea forward that Dash is a virtual nation. It has many of the properties of a nation, like "patriotism", except better and more so. That's why we have such determined Hodlers, this is a consequence of devotion to the community. One benefit of this devotion is so much down side stability to the price.
That's also why I fundamentally disagree with the idea that we have to make masternodes more affordable, so it's "fair" and everybody can have a say. Because we are a virtual nation, and we care about the community, everyday folks who participate in the forum have a lot of influence over policy and direction. You just don't get to vote on proposals...big difference.
