My idea would be DASH cause it can make fast real live payments like ...
Would you believe you can make instant payments with Bitcoin thru lightning. Not fast but instant. Just google to see one tutorial. And guess why DASH have same? It is a copy/paste BTC clone that brings nothing new to crypto table. I would you suggest to "invest" in coins that are bringing something new. Something that Bitcoin will never have.
Oh please stop with the low quality FUD already Febo
(Febo is one of the more fanatic Monero supporters by the way).
This is what Dash brings to the crypto table :
Optional privacy on its transactions (missing in Bitcoin)
Automatic Instant transactions, locked against double spending on 90% of its transactions by default (missing in Bitcoin)
Cheap transaction fees (much lower then Bitcoin)
Chainlocks : protection against 51% attacks (missing in Bitcoin)
Decentralized budget and funding system (missing in Bitcoin)
Rewarding full nodes for providing services for the network (missing in Bitcoin)
Grassroot movements in countries that really need it like Venezuela and Colombia (no real effort is put forward by Bitcoin)
Dash achieve all its activities on-chain, unlike Bitcoin who is setting up centralized sidechains off-chain (Lightning network) with payment channels where funds needs to be always online
(which increases the risk of theft, hacking, ddos attacks and god knows what else) and there is general uncertainty how high the transaction fees will get to be. Also Lightning Network is still in
Alpha phase,
and is far from getting implemented into their mainnet. Bitcoin is slowly but surely transferring into something very very centralized and very very against Satoshi's view on things
(like increasing Bitcoin's blocksize when its actually needed (2 years ago) and keeping the network onchain).
With Dash Evolution (Dash Core 1.0) there will be even more activities for Dash : blockchain usernames, decentralized API, Dash Drive, decentralized apps
For those that are curious about Dash roadmap and its progress :
http://www.dashroadmap.org/dash-now/To OP : there are some third party's that share a masternode, maybe you can read up on them :
https://docs.dash.org/en/stable/masternodes/hosting.html(i know masternode.me from moocowmoo is highly recommended, as is Splawik Supershares and Hosting service)
