From Nxt BCE, we get that there are only 581 accounts as block 8303, which means there are only 581 accounts have some coins. So maybe not more than 500 people all around the world own Nxt.
Keep on trading, keep on distributing to get Pareto Optimality.
I agree, but there isn't much that people like me, sitting at 10,000 NXT can do. More of the top players, in the tens of millions, need to lead distribution. Only two of the top ten accounts have distributed any coins.

Problem is NXT are already worth too much. The top holders with 50 million are sitting on a theoretical 650 BTC according to dgex latest rate of 0.000013 BTC/NXT. Obviously the liquidity isn't there to actually get it, but still it will probably will make some of the balk at giving theirs away for free, even though its in their best interest to do so.
When Ripple first came out they were giving out 50000 to tons of people here on bitcointalk just to spread the word. A similar thing for NXT would be great to spread the word and get things moving, however who would willingly give up that much now when that amount of NXT is about $715.
Even giving out 1000 NXT to people will be off putting to them when the client tells them they can "mine" their next coin in 350 days.
CFB is making great progress with the client, the biggest issue for NXT is distributing the coins.
Yes, that´s what I am also affraid of the most, that because of the centralized funds, it will be hard AND expensive for someone to get in NXT..
It would have been a better idea just to keep 51% of the coins for example and give it to new users who sign up/register/do something to support NXT...
It would be great if everyone would put some coins on an account and we would distribute it to the newcomers...
