If NEM is distributed in October and people convert their tokens to real NEM, where will the trading take place? Is there an exchange lined up?
Did the majority of stakeholders claim tokens? Just trying to determine the most cost efficient way to buy in. Thanks.
Hi,
I think it's generally worth buying a coin before the launch, especially if it's NEM.
Trading will take place on exchanges and we will make announcement about that at the right time.
If by tokens you mean assets on the Nxt AE, there were only 685 tokens issued so far, and redemption period(conversion to real NEM) is nearing very fast.
Thanks for the info Xtester. So it seems the majority of stakeholders didn't claim tokens, meaning there will be a lot coming onto the market. Normally I would think this means a high potential for dumping, but in NEM's case I can't see why people would dump after holding off for so many months.
I'm going to play it safe - I will buy 50% now on the asset exchange and 50% later when the actual units are being traded somewhere like BTER or Polo.
Do not wait for the release date to by your second 50%. NEM is currently being traded in NXT AE @ a much lower price than its real value. Actually the current value of a NEM stake should be in the range of 1200$ to 1500$, that is = 40,000 to 50,000 nxt per NEM stake. And at the release date or in a couple of weeks after release date it would easily reach 200,000 NXT per NEMstake. Keep in mind that there are thousands of bitcoiners do not invest in any alts before the release date. I personally have 3 friends that are waiting for NEM release date to buy in. It all comes to your overall investment strategy. For now just be aware that NEM will boom soon even before the release date.
