Is 8,999,999,999 XEM the total max supply or they will create more xem in the future if they want to?
Supply should be unchangeable (according to NEM Foundation practic, and owners of XEMs), but i can imagine situation, when someone (Banksters ;P) will buy from market so much cheap XEMs as possible and do a vote for changing supply, win it, and then hardfork and voila - supply changed. But in comming few years i dont think it could be possible to buy and concentrate so many XEMs.
I missed your answer, thank you for the explanation! I like NEM project but with the point u just made, i'm a bit confused if it is still a good long term investment...
Observe my posts here and on forum.nem.io in Price Speculation threads (my nick there: orminlange). I will tell You, and other where is good place to buy cheap. But not as investment only speculative. Scheme of pumps, dumps and fading will be always practiced in immature markets like Cypto.
There is no background now to be so pessimistic with XEMs and his supply. I wrote about possibilities. Nothing is for sure. But like Gandhi said. First they ignore You, than are laughing, after that is fight phase (like now with FUD @Bitcoin spreaded by Banksters and theirs media), and after that You will win:) I hope that XEM will be winner in this race. That's the reason i hold my main stack of XEMs, even if price will go below 10cents. That should be only temporary setback. I speculate only with chunk of my stack (20-25% of it), like yesterday rebuyed after selling @ 25cents and i had 36000XEMs instead of 25000. 25000 i left untouched, and 11000 earned were sold overnight as spike on Polo occured and i left pending order @ 6900satoshi and voila i will observe opportunity to rebuy lower. If there will be no such opportunity i will not of course cry, but i wait patiently for dumpers and panic sellers. So for next price stop if some dump will occure i await @ 12-15cents area, but if waves will go so low that will be only station in fading (in scheme pump, dump and long fading).
//edit
Bitcoin is building his dumping waves. So now we have hard dump phase (i do not believe that 3000 will hold, maybe temporary with little bounce), and after that (limited bounces) should be fading phase. That could be painful for us XEM holders too. XEM is chained unfortunately to whole cryptomarket and it's bearish situation. Congratulations for Banksters. 1:0 for You m...f...s.
And Zaif is offline? Thanks God that i widthrawed my XEMs before this, thats probably last signal to leave trade from other exchanges and sit on Fiats. So i must now suspend my plan of smart selling and rebuying. This crash give me opportunity to rest for a while and use what i have earned in private life.
