I expect bringing masternodes to cryptonote won't be easy. I think dev should take his time to do this right. This is a very speculative investment right now, and with BTC surging, I don't expect much buying interest. I think this is a very long-term risky hold, but if dev pulls it off, the reward could be well worth it.
This is a lot of speculation. I don't quite understand the comparison to BTC right now because all alt coins have the same dynamic.
I see this as a crypto note coin with a relatively active team behind it. My read on the situation is that they did not do any pre-mine and quickly regretted that after they released, so now they pushed back the master node announcement so they could mine for themselves a bit. Which is fine because I think they need funding. At this point, the people mining this coin for the next six months will score big. imo.
There is a strict supply of coins for this project plus the difficulty will remain low for some months to come. Imagine if you could be a part of a founder's pre-mine. Imagine if you could mine a coin before some of its most innovative features are announced. You'd jump all over that, right? But if you want to be encouraged by constantly rising prices and a healthy book of buy orders then you should go mine electroneum.
