Go read it, then come back here and appreciate how bloody good NXT is.
Heres my little pep-talk for today:
Bitcoin is in free-fall and under pressure from government and law, not to mention MtGOX....
The entire crypto market is collapsing, following Bitcoins lead.
Maxcoin was going to rule the world, that seems to be postponed for a while.
2nd generation cryptos.......does anyone see a functioning 2nd gen crypto apart from NXT ?
NXT is in a very good postion right now. It isn't tied to BTC in any real way, the basic features work well, and the advanced stuff is coming along, though maybe more slowly than some of us expected. NRS clients are stable, no nasty hacks for a while...
Right now, we should be thinking
"marketing opportunity" , not "OMG, the sky is falling".
I'm going to be throwing some more fiat/BTC into NXT today and I suggest that everyone else follows my lead.
If we can hold, keep calm & carry on, keep NXT on the level while the market is collapsing around it, the potential is huge.
This could be a game-changing moment for crypto, there are a lot of people right now out there in crypto land looking for a safe place to put their investment. It would be very good for NXT if we could make NXT that safe place.
So, can I humbly suggest that we:
Hold. Do not sell, where are u gonna go, into BTC?
Buy. Get rid of that BTC, or just keep the fiat value up by moving into NXT.
Promote. Get the huddled masses running to NXT as shelter from the BTC storm.
Help any newbies u meet.....
Last thought here: If we can get NXT in the green on coinmarketcap, while the rest of the crypto world is deep red, everyone is going to want some, no matter how complicated the client is or whether we can forge on RspPi or not..... so pump, don't dump.
I'm off to throw some BTC at DGEX, come and join in...
I suggest we create a reddit marketing campaign NOW! Only on the bitcoin/litecoin/big altcoin subreddits! The advertisement will be with headlines like "Ready for the btc dip or want to come over to a secure future with NXT?"
Could we get some funds for this? They will be used ONLY for the campaign.
Originally I wanted to do it after we have a client and AE. But maybe this is our chance right now!
