do you think is it better to hodl btc or to change it in dash and run a dash masternode?

I see currently the price of Bitcoin continues to increase. Maybe what the experts predicted was seen little by little. I chose to hold rather than replace it with another coin.

I'm giving my opinion on the basis of below two sites statistics, but my opinion cannot be granted as financial advice.

I do not think it's a wise investment at this moment due to the ROI you will be getting by investing on DASH Masternode.
I believe BTC has more potential gain over the 1 year period than the Dash Masternode.

However, it's your money, it's your decision.
If you don't want to risk BTC investment due to uncertainty then you should not go.
If you want to get a passive income on daily, weekly or monthly basis then you may consider Dash Masternode. But remember, if BTC falls every altcoins falls as well.

dash price will pump when btc pump, but if you run a dash masternode you can get fresh coins every week

the main question is, is dash safe like btc?

ROI comparison between Dash and Bitcoin between 2015 and 2018 & current percentage down from ATH :

Just like most altcoins the potential risks are larger with Dash (meaning Dash price could drop with a larger percentage then Bitcoin) and
the potential rewards are also larger with Dash (meaning Dash price could rise with a larger percentage then Bitcoin).

Dash masternodes / miners are scheduled to receive less Dash over the years (Dash has an annual -7.1% reduction of its blockrewards) and the next reduction is planned
for this month (in about 10 days). The lessor received Dash in blockrewards should in theory be compensated by a growing Dash fiat price due to increased usage, at least that is the
strategy behind it (growing demand & smaller available supply should have an effect on price over time) . That is something to take into consideration.    

There are a multiple of options. And you should choose what suites for you. But you'd not regret holding your bitcoins.
If you really want to increase the amount of bitcoin you hold, you can invest it somewhere or just lend it to get a fixed profit.

if you have enough money,,
i think its better for you to hold bitcoin and run dash masternode my friend
because if i'm not wrong we need more than 110K USD for 1 masternode of Dash and thats is huge money

Better holding btc than other altcoin kinds because only btc could have stable coins could growing up, many altcoin have lower price and never could back to higher price with lower investor for investing their money.

storing bitcoin is much safer than opening a master node. judging by the Dash it is impossible to understand what will happen with this coin

I don't think I am going to compare both of them because bitcoin still remains the king, as I have said in my predictions, we are going to see a significant increase in the price of bitcoin this year and it won't be a good thing to miss out from it because we might never see bitcoin in the stage we see it today and might not be able to buy bitcoin at the $4000 range anymore, this is why I advise those that haven't bought bitcoin should buy now.

it depends on how much risk you are willing to take and whether it is a long term or a short term thing.
obviously Dash like all the other pump and dump altcoins is very risky and will get dumped on you meaning you will lose a lot of money. but also it can get pumped and during those pumps it can be very profitable specially if you also run a masternode. but it is not easy to start a masternode and then dump before the pumps end.

i personally prefer trading during pumps because it is so much faster and easily. you can pull your bitcoins out of the altcoins immediately without needing to spend any time or any additional cost. and you can put them into the next pumping coin right away.

now masternodes is not very stable. people withdraw their money from coins that do not show good results. To hold Bitcoin is more promising because Bitcoin is already showing good results and it has very great prospects. In the 2018 year bitcoin grown technologically

I prefer DASH masternodes because when bitcoin gets increased a lot and dash will follow it and the increase on the bitcoin price will make the price of masternodes of DASH will be more expensive dude. This is why I prefer to buy DASH and become masternode.

I think bitcoins will be the safest coin you can choose, if we get a long bull market from now, Dash will probably also give a huge return, but overall the most important coin to hold are bitcoin.
There are so many other coins that can do what dash dos, so buying a dash Masternode can be dangerous.

It's better to hold bitcoin than dash, because bitcoin gets the most increase out of all cryptocurrency out there, running a dash masternode will require you to do some complex stuff and alot of money to start running one so i think your better off with bitcoin.

I would rather hold bitcoin than holding any altcoin , because the pump of most of the altcoin depends on  bitcoin. As we can see now bitcoin has been doing great .

Personally i am not a fan of masternodes because it is very complex process and in the end you may not end up with decent returns if the price of the coin keeps dipping like we saw last year. I am personally more of a hodler and im happy holding btc and eth because i know they will keep growing for long term.

If you invest before posting this one for sure you already made a good profit. I will still choose to become bitcoin great hodlers than to any coin. We are growing now, there will be a higher price this month so hold more bitcoin. Though dash coin is good before, I think there will be a hard time for that coin to recover.

As much as i like masternode, i would not dare go for the masternode dash or any coin that has been existing for a long time. Instead, buying btc when the price low and holding it will be a better option. Although there are much more better options i can choose from.

Bitcoin price has started raising after a long time we passed. Bitcoin holding is better than holding any other coins or tokens. So if you only hold BTC rather than Dash masternode, it will be more profitable for you. Hence BTC/USDT pair is better now for you.

Go with Dash masternode since it offers 8% annual roi as of this time and whenever bitcoin pumps, big coins like dash will surely follow the upward trends.

You also need to consider the amount required for 1 dash MN, you need 27 BTC to start and run your own DASH masternode

Stories with masternodes are very interesting, but for now I do not think that there are really interesting proposals on this subject. I still think that there are real benefits from HOLD BTC, so I think that BTC is good.

How much money you have now? Because it depends on the money, you have. You need to calculate the Dash amount to use for masternode, and it's big money. I think it's better to hold bitcoin and hold some dash in your wallet because I heard that Dash allow a user to get some revenue if they were staking their Dash in the wallet.

start up a node is easy if you use services like https://www.allnodes.com/ , and they are very cheap

false

I also like the dash masternodes because it would also give you profit for just holding it.
But as of now Bitcoin price is flying and it seems to be the start of the bull market.
So if you really want them why don't you just invest in both of them?

I think is better if could do both, but maybe is better if you hold bitcoin and bitcoin grow a lot, but depends when buy and how much you pay when buy it, also Dash masternode can give some profit.

We are facing a great price movement right now and I believe the best way to multiply your coins is to invest in BTC. It is still number one coin in the world and would remain to be it for at least several more years.

Very confusing choice because both of them have a very good potential. But I prefer to holding bitcoin because for me bitcoin is the safest investment in cryptocurrency.

It all depends on how much money you have. And if you can one run DASH masternode. If you have enough money and opportunities, then it is worth running masternode, it will bring in a steady income.

Dash masternodes require a considerable outlay, but if you can afford to acquire one the passive income it can generate can offer decent returns no matter the market conditions as this asset has performed in a moderately well balanced fashion in recent history and provided there's no increased competition in this area it should continue to do so which would make it a viable long term proposition

I prefer not just to wait, but to do something. I would raise the dash masternode. From the received reward it is possible to transfer a part to Bitcoin and hold it.

I would say btc hodling.

Dash masternode gathering passive income but i don't see a future on dash. If btc raise %20 in a year and dash will become same price, you would earn more with just holding btc. And i think btc will perform way better compared to dash.

Bitcoin outperforming dash. Last 2 years, bitcoin make a 4x compared to dash so i don't think dash is a good idea instead of btc.

In my opinion , both is good. Btc price will rise again by little.
So, hodl btc and run masternode is good to invest.

I thin beginning it was easy to set up Masternodes and the reward worth it, but now people should desist from it, Dash is a forgone case and many privacy coins in the space that are far better than Dash in terms of technology. People need to start thinking middle term and long term in the space because I don't see this project hitting new height

I choose dash .

Good material on this topic.

A lot of BTC need to start in Dash coin master node. Another most important thing is BTC crossed 5000$, Holding is the best opportunity from mastrernode it think. You have to should be pick up profitable way.

Try to keep the masternode, the chance to sell the coin with a big profit when dash coin will increase the rate, sell and buy bitcoins.

Exactly the same chances of earning money simply on regular altcoins. Running masternodes is a very difficult thing. It is better to learn how to trade

You have such amount money to buy masternode? You really want to invest 130 000$ into one cryptocurrency? For me Dash doesn´t have good future, it will be soon replaced by more technologically advanced privacy coins.

Holding BTC is much more of a better choice, had it been you had compared it with other coins, I would have said DASH but to keep sentiment aside, there is no project that can have strong presence in the market other than BTC.

Even if DASH masternode promises certain interest, interest can only be given when the project is functioning well, although with the introduction of their masternode, they will get more investors and since the masternode requires a certain minimum as limit, there will be more funds in its market causing it growth in value but still cannot be better than BTC in terms of profit.

im prefer bitcoin buddy, just like last bullrun, bitcoin can have significant growth, even if btc fall again, guarantee of halving event make bitcoin mire better than any coin out there.

I think market is not still prepare or stable to hold BTC at this time. Make patience until market goes in a proper stable position. But if you think you will take risk you can try to hold BTC. Best wishes

If you have enough money you can both hodl btc and run dash masternode. We can't say which one will be more profitable. But it makes more sense to hodl btc.

Although the dash got a big potential, but I think it's better to hold bitcoin, bitcoin has has keep on growing and the adoption also making great progress  so I will say that its safer to invest in bitcoin rather than dash, dash still need some big support to grow better while bitcoin already on the road to mass adoption

I really don't think dash has a good future and even some passive income i think bitcoin will outperform it so just go with bitcoin.

indeed now it seems that dash doesn't have good development and this can provide a very bad risk for dash development because if there are no developments at all and dash volume decreases then it can give the effect of collapsing dash prices.

I don't understand master node problems, but it looks like dash offers promising profit, but with very crazy capital because masternode usually has to have thousands of coins and then setup with a vps that I know now the dash price is 120 $ and if you want to make it obvious you need $ 100K more , whereas for bitcoins with less than one bitcoin we can get a pretty good result by holding it at a low price and then selling it at a high price like now

BTC and Dash are two good coins to hold, I feel that it is better to hold both coins. But I understand that you are thinking to host Dash masternode, do you think you are able to hold BTC after getting 1000 dash for the masternode?

Dash's masternode costs $134,045.
Daily projected profit is $27.
ROI would be 4,847 days.
Do you think it's worth it?
While if you buy bitcoin @ $5,150 / $134,045
you will get 26.02 BTC.
What if bitcoin pumps to $6k?
you earn $156,168.
And that's an instant $22k profit by doing nothing.

I already had a negative experience from participating in masternods. Then I got a huge loss. I was not lucky with the choice of the project. Now I decided not to risk and invest only in proven coins. I choose to store bitcoin.

You don’t trust the cryptocurrency market again? There will always be competition of course which will eventually make their masternode idea perform less, you can see what is happening with the IEO project too, how many exchanges out of competition are beginning to introduce it too, once they watch the success of dash on this and there is quite bug number of positive review on it.

It is just a matter of little time before we see more of this, we already have few of this and there is no much diverted attention on it, that is why it has not become rampant but before then, dash own would have been a success and its user already benefited from it.

in my opinion, it depends on individual beliefs and I personally am more inclined to believe in BTC, so I will take the risk of preferring to hold BTC instead of running the masternode dashboard.

This thought can make more sense. Because if both can provide profit, why not try both? BTC is the king who should be in every wallet anyway, without it crypto is nothing. And if the masternodes also bring profit, try.

Keep your investment in Bitcoin secured you might not get the returns Btc give you just for holding by running a masternode which you will st3incire costs to run.

If i had enough to buy a dash masternode i would choose that instead. Those DASH coins are a good purchase, but it's a damn expensive investment. It is doing well in venezuela and can easily expand to other countries as well

I would rarher hold BTC than running dash masternode because running a dash masternode requires huge amount of money. Although dash has a good reputation, I won't risk huge of money for their masternode since the current situation of the market now is unpredictble and there's no guarantee that I'll make profit on it unlike BTC which has more believers.

It's better to hold btc and run masternode, because all coins have time, but make sure you hold bitcoin many bitcoin than altcoin. But i think it's not enough if only hold bitcoin and dash, we need many kind of major coins

i prefer to buy and hold for btc, but as a typical person why not having those two? it can minimize thr possible losses if you can leverage your investments rather than having only 1 typr of instruments.

this year I started investing again in crypto, I started over again because I had sold my assets last year and for the time being I will get back Bitcoin.

I think running a Dash masternode will cost much, it will be easy to just holding BTC until the price is good.
If you have much money to investing, run a dash masternode is a good idea than just waiting for BTC market to rise.

Either of them is a good investment strategy because DASH  is one of the popular masternodes in the cryptospace and BTC is also the cryptocurrency with the highest marketcap. Investing into any of these cryptocurrencies is good but i prefer running a node with the DASH ecosystem because running a masternode allows you to earn passively from your investment.

We all know that Bitcoin would always be the best for a long term investment,
But Dash is kind a different you would get a profit when the price increase and also by the masternodes .
So I think it is best to have both of them.

Both options are good depending on your financial status, why because ruining a Dash Master Nodes will require a certain amount of dash to run a node if am not mistaken, and depending on your financial status, you will have to buy the require amount of dash to do that, while in buying btc you can just buy any amount you can afford and hodl in your wallet without doing nothing except wait ;D only that you won't earn passive income but you are sure to earn big if btc run wide ;)

Based on masternode online information, it's required 1000 dash to run a masternode, currently roi is 7.x%, I prefer hodling btc because my personal opinioni is bitcoin have more potential than dash. I'm interested that currently you still hodling btc or already convert to dash? According cmc April 01 btc price is $4150 and dash price is $112, April 02 market price start to pump, current bitcoin price is $5220 and dash price is $135, you gain a lot of profit if you're hodling btc.  :)

I think it is too late to get a Dash masternood for most people, it's cost more than 100k to get one, and that price will exclude most crypto users. The yearly ROI seems good for Dash masternood owners, but I'm going to keep my money in bitcoins for now.

Well, if its worth it, I am sure we will still see many investors that will still keep masternode, I don’t think the cost is reason why people are not so into it, now that Bitcoin is even on bull run, most people are concentrating and focusing more on Bitcoin for now, some are even selling their altcoins to purchase BTC, so I don’t think someone would one to tie his 100k down now to a masternode that is not certain of the interest it will give when bitcoin can give almost x10 of any interest masternode would give on a yearly basis. The same way you prefer to keep y0ur money in BTC, is the same way I do too and same way many investors would prefer BTC.

Masternode and staking methods are now very popular. Not only nodes, but the established node pools, the number of participants is increasing day by day. This also reduces return. I think it might be more profitable to wait in Bitcoin.

I would go for the $DASH masternode

I myself try to continue to hold bitcoin in a relatively long term because this method may be very appropriate to anticipate the occurrence of panic continuously and make traders not be afraid of investing in the future with the recent price fluctuations.

Nah. For someone like me who are not familiar with masternodes and do not want to make things complicated or do not want to stress out ourselves, then it is much better if we just stay focus on btc holding and btc trading. It offers more potential than in masternoding altcoins.

There are already many services that offers turn key solutions for those users that wants to run a masternode but they dont have the technical knowledge to start one,.. As for DashMasternode, you should join some shared Masternode services that accept DASH, just be careful, do some research first to make sure you are joining a legit one.

And this is probably the most profitable strategy for today. In the coming months, bitcoin will show serious growth and then you will see your profit

This is nice topic ,holding bitcoin is very good now that its growing much more better and at the same time running master node is profitable as well ,my answer is they are both better ,if you can't build master node setup a then you'd better off buying and holding

DASH has a decent brand name in the space and has been making a name for itself in Venezuela due to the nation's hyperinflation, but the field is really crowded at this point and there can only be so many long-term winners. I don't think DASH will disappear, but I think bitcoin has a much stronger brand name and market share, and hence is the more conservative investment of the two. I'd go with bitcoin if I had a choice. This is just an opinion and not investment advice.

BTC holding is much better i think.
you know BTC is a main coin in cryptocurrency and be the king and father of all cryptocurrency.
so why we need to choose other coin if we can choose a king (BTC).
simple think but really good.

In my opinion, bitcoin holding is much better option then go for dash masternode as ROI is very low now a days and bitcoin have highest growth potential then anything else.

If you look at this longterm then you will notice that Dash has outperformed Bitcoin in the following years : 2015, 2016, 2017
Only in 2018 due to the severe bear market was Dash ROI more negative then Bitcoin.

Also keep in mind when the Dash price rise in fiat value (which could be due to higher Dash fiat value thanks to an increasing Bitcoin price or due to Dash increasing against Bitcoin in its Dash btc value),
the Dash miners and masternode rewards in fiat value rise with it (as does Dash available budget in fiat, which means more projects that directly benefit Dash can be funded).

I don't follow Dash every day, but if I had a choice, I would try to do 50/50. I always try to diversify assets, maybe I'm wrong where, but I feel safer.
