We might have missed the boat with DASH, but there may still be time with Walton. We need 5000 WTC in order to control a masternode, whenever they go online.
Here is a site with some monthly ROI calculation (based on current prices) for other assets like DASH and PIVX running masternodes:

As you can see, the ROI varies, but it's beating what you'd get from stocks, bonds, or real estate rentals. Of course, I'm assuming long term capital appreciation, not market implosion, which would make the whole deal a bad one.
I'm liquidating all my real estate (because it's annoying) and looking for good crypto assets to hodl and stake. WTC has blown up over the past month, which sucks for anyone wanting to get into it, but its market cap is still not extraordinary in this market and it has an intriguing application. I would read about it if you haven't yet.
5000 WTC would be about 7 BTC right now. Not sure if I want to take that much of a risk, but between a few of us that's nothing. I don't know yet the details of the income a Walton masternode would produce, but my point is that it would probably be higher than parking your money in other things.
FYI, cost of a DASH masternode right now is roughly $325k.
Aside from Walton, we should keep our eyes peeled for other opportunities to accumulate toward a masternode, whether it's pooled or not.
