@pabloangello that is very true! It is also why we see why many people do not hold their coins long term. They fear that their profits will diminish. For them their paper profits are already real money which is not. They only think it is.

Yes. Holding long term is very very hard. Imagine you bought NEM at 30satoshi, it rises to 300satoshi, then try not to sell (You dont know then that it will rise to 2000sat in couple months). To do that you need to be experienced investor or complete beginner bag holder.

Hahaha. So you mean to say you have to be completely very skilled or very stupid to be a big winner in trading. That is two extremes at each end of the spectrum.

In second case (you called it "stupid") you are just lucky, sometimes.

and this:

There's also the absentee holder.  Bitcoin had a lot of them, people who acquired coins for fun in 2009/2010 and left them on old drives.  The absentee Bitcoin holders were only reminded about their jackpot when Bitcoin was making headlines everywhere in 2013. . .  some interesting stories about them if you set your google search filter to only 2013.

http://blockexplore.in/static/data/stalelist.html

There's 168 addresses on the stale list.  I could definitely see something like 50-100 of those addresses making it to $1.  A lot of them are people who got their NEM in 2015, lost interest for various reasons (most probably boredom), and will only recall owning XEM if it makes international headlines some day.  There'll be a bunch of rags-to-riches headlines, just like Bitcoin had in 2013, and this will probably be some good marketing.

None of these coins are getting higher because of some "mobile" element, the defining moment that can be said is when a coin has achieved mass adoption.

Otherwise it's just devs and the same people who bought into the coin pumping it up.

Mobile app is good marketing and, a well-designed one, should ease the learning curve for new users.

PayPal spent $60 million on their referral program.

User adoption is expensive and, with exception of flukes like Tumbler and Facebook, many companies had to spend $10s of millions to get their users.   From this, you can see why crypto has struggled with mass adoption.  Bitcoin foundation barely has any money and Ethereum itself only raised like $20 million and promptly spent it all.  To get all the Joes and Janes on board, you probably have to spend $50+ million on just marketing / advertisement and wisely at that.



I think NEM will be the first crypto project to have a world class marketing budget.  There's 2 marketing funds added up to 450,000,000 XEM.  Developers / non-profit has to wait until $1,350,000,000 marketcap or $0.15 XEM and then they'll have like $67 million to utilize.  $67 million could fund a few 30-second TV ads, probably do a ton of YouTube and social media ads, product placements,  interviews on popular talk radio, et cetera.  


 
To think Ethereum has already hit that marketcap but they were too amateur, inexperienced and lacked pre-launch foresight to think about long-term marketing & advertisement.


Thanks for a nice post.  Cheesy

Remember that if Ethereum can gain 1 billion marketcap with a completley non user friendly command line wallet then we can do well with what we have! Cheesy

NEM is Crypto's last hope if we want to see change in the world.  Other projects could hit $1 billion someday but would not have the funds to make anything happen and thus it would be stagnation / status quo.

Nem will always be my favorite crypto. It was just fascinating how it started basically by people volunteering their services. It was huge.

its worth noting that the Dash mobile wallet was only for android, whereas nem is for both IOS and Android.
I would expect the price to double once the news is announced.

Dash made a massive gain when their android wallet was released a few days ago. I suspect the nem mobile wallet will do the same.
dash and NAV, they both had a big pump caused by a mobile wallet. It's definitely a big deal so let's hope XEM do the same.

I thought their recent pump was because of their "Dash n Go" payment system, but it seems no one really knows lol

Same thing mate. Dashngo = mobile wallet.

At the time they announced it, price didnt move for at least another 12 hrs.
Makes me wonder why the crypto world took so long to react to positive news, but very quick to react to negative ones.

Because the fear of losing is greater than joy of profit.
If you have $XXX and you are gaining some profit +$XX then you still have what you had (initial $XXX) + more.
But if you had $XXX and now you have -$XX from that number then you don't have initial $XXX but less.
In first case your initial $ is not affected, in second case it is, that is why it causes stronger reaction.

Indeed! I think, especially in today's "mobile online age", is mobile wallet absolutely necessary, crucial and "must have" issue. I also supposed (but I'm primarily linux sysadmin, not mobile app developer), that to create such application is "not so extremely hard", but probably it is. Look at NXT - dev team works around 3 years on mobile app, but still isn't done/finished. Most of cryptocurrencies haven't any mobile application till today. So, to have such mobile wallet is really huge comparative advantage. Hopefully NEM will have this advantage soon too. Anyway, any news from devs (about mobile wallet, lightwallet, Catapult, [success of] Mijin implantation in Japan, etc... ) ?
