I just noticed that dash masternode payments are declining quite a lot. First thing I assumed was that the mosternode number must have increased. But looking at Dash stats it doesn't seem like this is the reason. Yes we are at all time highs of the masternode count but it doesn't seem to me as significant that it would explain price drop.

I am offering a bounty of 10 steem to the best answer explaining the reason for that phenomenon. Best with a mathematical formula to explain what is going on.
