NXT WILL PREVAIL
Many would say it already has with everything it has achieved so far
I agree.
Once it gains enough attention and BTC settles down, i think we will see things gain alot of traction, and fast.

Er...I don't think Erik V. is in jail, somehow. Or else he's in such a Club Fed they let him out for conferences

Is he? such bad luck for NXT! Most promising coin ever going down for stupid unfortunate issues....
i think he went to jail or something for not paying his taxes.
Is he still alive?
Conapult for nxt would be quite interesting.... Lock the value of nxt to btc or USD.
is erik voorhees that much of a market mover?
If he wants to be, yeah. He was an early adopter of Bitcoin and was involved with some of the earliest Bitcoin businesses like Bitinstant.
He also has great interest in promoting alts as their development and interest allow him to gain more bitcoins with every transaction that flows through shapeshift.io. I believe he is geniune in his statement that he prefers NxT over other alts, but obviously he isn't that excited about NxT as he repeatedly fails to mention it and isn't up to date on all the news.
You must understand his statement in this context.

Ok. I'll let Garzik and bitcoindesk know 
Replace 'early' with 'high profile' perhaps, if it more pleasing.

All the other alt developers aren't "high profile"? Every single one of them has their own cult following. Your attempts to play victim has created a delusional reality.
Thank you for your competent opinion.

Who knows. But he is one of the few (only?) early BTC guys that will openly say positive things about alts
This is an odd statement considering most alt devs were early BTC guys.So you really have at least 500 early BTC guys who are more than just positive about alts and add to that all the early investors as well. In fact I find it more of a rarity that any early BTC guy is only interested in BTC.

How is Nxt able to fit so much data in the blockchain?
Bitcoin struggles just to hold transactions, but messages and market listings is another story altogether.

There will be pruning at some point. That means that data will be removed from the blockchain after a certain period (i.e. one year). It's already being worked on - though I've read some disagreements between devs whether it will be possible on the NXT chain. Not an easy task, but necessary in the long run.
Another point is of course the fee - if the fee is high enough, it will prevent extensive file storage. The fee in the current test-version was probably too low.
Also: In future versions the fee will be dynamic - calculated by bytes added to the chain (for everything, also transactions and such).
Just an idea (no clue if that's the plan), but I can imagine that the fee could determine also the duration of storage. Since a webshop possibly could be happy to store an image just for a week, while some important documents (like a testament) might have to be stored for decades.
Seems like Captain Jean-Luc .. just implemented blockchain size pruning for upcoming 1.5.1e testnet:

Like it or not, NXT has a very strong community backing it up
If it were true, why would you be making this statement?
Because it's true, and the obvious has to be stated sometimes for the more dense among us.
NXT is an interesting experiment and I salute the experimenters. The question in my mind is: what incentive is there for stakers to secure the network? It seems the coinbase rewards are nil. So, it is a combination of altruism and simply the desire to keep the network alive to maintain the value of holdings. Is this enough? We will find out.
Nxt represents a mature Bitcoin network where the mining reward equals total fees of a block's transactions.
So, Nxt will offer a glimpse into the future of whether Bitcoin would be able to sustain itself or not.
