Sorry if its stupid question, but why would you hope nxtcoin gets more expensive? then transactions are more expensive and nxtcoin assets are more expensive. Isn't it more logical to hope for price to go down?
I bought 9BTC of nxt when it was price 0.000091.
Unless you were just planning on pumping and dumping, why would you worry about price right now? Personally, I am holding on to most of my NXT but may cash some out at $5, $10, and $20. This is a long term investment and I am sorry if you were lead to believe otherwise.
If my calculations are correct he has around 500,000 USD, if it were me, I would cash out and put half in a IRA or something safer, and blow the rest.
