I don't think that's going to be possible. There are much worse projects higher up but they're slowly carving their place in the minds of the public and that doesn't go away. Nem's ability to capture hearts and minds is non existent still after all these years. It's had five years to be 'discovered'.
I'm sure the price can be much higher than it is at present in future, but it's not dislodging the projects at the tippy top. The developers would say that's not relevant and for their purposes and reasoning it's true.
I just checked the history of NEM and this had a capitalization of 1 mio at one point? And it went up to 15 bil? Oh my god... This is like truly insane for this who held their coins all the way.
but not for the ones who didn't sell at the top
If you have been early into NEM you wouldn't even have to have sold at the top and still could have made a fortune.
Considering its innovative features and solid development, I can say this is one of the platform at par with leading blockchain platforms and has also the greatest possibility to create a disruption in the blockchain industry.
