Maybe selling is going on too slow, for my taste the price is rising too fast, but that's how it goes.
I'd like to see some statistics about distribution of NXT. If 90% is in the hands of the (73) first-stakeholders and only the trading of the remaining 10% is generating the price of NXT, that would be bad in my eyes. We need more distribution! That would help a lot, regarding the public view of NXT.
Don't worry. Soon we'll get more DDoS attacks, black PR and other similar things. Some of the major stakeholders will lose confidence and sell most of their coins.
I've been thinking about it... wondering why the major stake holders sell so slowly.
Then I realised, that unlike BTC, major holders of NXT are not inclined to sell much. Why? Because the NXT they hold is their "mining/forging hardware". They will just continue mining and selling what they mine. Perhaps they will sell a few million or hundred thousand here and there, but they will hold onto most of it.
Call this "
Xibei's Principle".
So, major stake holders are not (and will not sell much) because
a) the NXT decentralised exchange is too groundbreaking
b) their NXT is their "mining hardware"
Additionally, unlike BTC, where you must keep buying more and more mining hardware to compete with increasing difficulty and other miners. With NXT, your holding of NXT always pretty much mines you the same amount, no matter how many more people start mining. There's no need to reinvest into more "mining hardware". They would only sell at a very attractive price, and the price they have in mind will have the decentralised exchange in mind, probably like $10 per NXT.
Oh, and unlike BTC and other energy hungry proof-of-work systems where you mining hardware depreciates and must be replaced (as it get's older and slower and burns out), NXT's virtual "mining hardware" (aka your NXT holdings), appreciate in value.
So, that's why major stake holders don't sell fast and the market will not shake and the price will keep climbing. They will just sell whatever they mine, a bit at a time.
NXT is genius.
+1. And the herd of sheep can't do simple math and think 10 cents is cheap, when you're talking about all 1 billion coins, and that it's at 600,000% at what was originally put in.
Anyway world needs crypto, NXT just superior to other options (at least, for now).
