Some educated guesses:
The actual price is actually too cheap. This may be the consequence of early dumpers and some little market manipulation due to the still small number of transactions. But it is not a matter for concern. First, according to the plan, in approximately 1 week, UP will close the token distributions. Then, there will be a limited amount of NEM stakes circulating (not early dumpers) which will create some sense of scarcity
Alpha launch will show all the potential of the NEM. If it is massively marketed, then it will be a pressure to get more stakes at the NXT AE. Then, it will come the auction which also will set a new value of the coin. So guys, don't sell so cheap; just wait 1-2 months; I'm sure that the stake price will be higher at that time (possibly 100-150k) and that even before the beta release and exchange of real NEM money.
Personally, I will not claim any token. I will wait until the release and the possibility to trade coins instead of stakes. Additionally, with my wife we are planning to open a small-scale business in which I want to use NEMs. We live close to a University and several high-schools. There are a lot of students that need to have lunch at midday. We are going to open a website in which you can reserve a healthy lunch (to be payed with NEMs). Just simple. You enter to the website, book your lunch, pay with NEMs and then you will receive a number which you can use to claim your lunch.
I don't expect to make me rich with this, but on the one hand it will be fun and on the other, it will be a way to introduce new people to the movement. Of course, this is only will happen after V1 release and the possibility to get decent BTC - NXT - fiat (why not?) / NEM exchanges. I like very much this trading operations but I think the key to survival will be the small scale economy.
) selling for that price. Since I think at least some people are a bit off, you might as well get a stake if you are willing to wait long enough(10 years).
