well don't be pissed, there is nothing to be pissed about.
We must realise, there is nothing to gain if we support a "myCoin vs theOthercoin" attitude.
We must realise, all coins are tools that transfer wealth. Our wealth.
No coin is at war with any other coin. All coins out there are tools in our toolbags, we should use them wisely.
The moment we start taking sides, is the very moment we are losing the game.
All these coins will not be successful, and the ones that will succeed will do so because they will have a strong community, that will be willing to
place trust (with its financial meaning) on that coin.
There are only a handful of people in these boards that invest in only one coin, nobody should do this.
Diversification and patience are key words, keep that in mind.
Personally, I am waiting for the day when BTC1 = $10.000
But if Nxt, Nem, or a few other choices take me there, i will not say no. I find most of the coins here to be complimentary to each other.

I agree...
The good old "where is the value" problem.
All these coins at the end will succed when we can transfer value/wealth from real things at the same way we are doing with fiat currencies. What I like from NEM is that this concept is very much in mind of the developers and (some) stakeholders.
Btw, I'm back in town
Personally I believe any crypto (Even NEM/NXT) are destined to fail unless they get their "foot through the dark door" into the deep web, and yes, this means blackmarket trade. Bitcoin (and crypto's in general) pretty much enable it with their more anonymous nature.
This is the primary thing that keeps bitcoin afloat and gives it such a high value. That high value gets the attention of more "legit" shops who then later adopt it in the more mainstream markets. (In part thanks to mainstream media)
Fact is, unless a coin gets into the black markets, odds are they won't get anywhere - especially when there's so much competition in the crypto world and most coins are competing at a very similar level. With Bitcoin leagues ahead of everything (due to reasons i've already stated).
Bitcoin is in no way anonymous. Everyone has to go through a lengthy process that includes tor, vpns and multiple mixins to have REALLY ANONYMOUS bitcoins. (This ones actually not my opinion - it's fact.)
All the blackmarket crap has surely attracted many people but has it helped BTC as much as all the other stuff like ATMs an other things that happend in the physical world ?
The "deep web" is a hyped term that's just bs.
Regarding coins being at "war". I think all the crapcoins that are mere copies of BTC, LTC, NVC and PPC are bad for cryptos. With so many cryptos out there people get confused and rather stay away from cryptos alltogether.
thats why NEM is being developed from scratch .
