My comments regarding "price" were not intended as "speculation" (but seemingly have been interpreted that way).
The market will decide "how much NXT is worth" and that value will be mostly determined because of the usefulness of the platform.
Perhaps people might consider "quoting this post" instead of the other but of course people are only going to quote what suits them.
I don't really know any other way to interpret what you said. It's pretty clear if you ask me and if you feel I'm taking you out of context I'd love to be shown in what way.
Anyway, I think I've said enough on all of this. Anyone who doesn't get what I'm saying at this point is probably never going to get it. I'm glad I got it off my chest and now it's time to move along. Feel free to talk all the shit about me you want.
Take a look at this, salsacz posted this earlier:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwAGADgnQcrtdXE5MkF5S05oaHM/edit?pli=1"Very high" is relative anyways. As CIYAM just said, the market forces will decide the price - NXT will have value, but the price (or at least the fees) need to be low enough so that services can use NXT without paying exorbitant fees. Whether this is $1 with 0.01 fees or even $2, who knows.
IMO, you'd have more success if your statements were more constructive. Pointing out things that are in development (for example, instant transactions) and basically creating a ruckus of it isn't going to be very well received.
I took a look at your reddit post, and basically it can be broken down to two sections: upcoming features and fees.
1) Calling NXT a bait and switch is a little disingenuous because those features mentioned on the sidebar of reddit are in development. So far two of the things on that list are already implemented, and we are testing the AE right now. Going from 0 to 3 out of 4 implemented, in four months, and you're complaining about being lied to? I don't see you blaming Auroracoin for not being in the hands of Icelanders yet... it's "in progress". (Btw, the first post of this thread clearly states that instant transactions are in progress. Hopefully you read that post before investing...)
2)
A) Fees can be changed. We may eventually switch to Optical's system, who knows. Btw, this problem is not unique to NXT, all crytpos have hard-coded "min" fees.
B) AE was never planned to do HFT (I can pull up a quote of CFB from a long time ago). How are you going to do HFT on a blockchain that runs on a 1 minute timer? Imo, the AE serves a more useful purpose - such as gateways, kickstarter and things I can't even think of right now - than simply acting as a stock market. Thus, fees really are not that big of a deal (assuming they remain small, refer to A)) for people who don't do HFT. Also, exchanges normally charge 0.15% or even higher for a successful trade. NXT charges the min fee to post an order - different systems for different purposes.
Lastly, you've ignored all the projects that are going on right now *not* on your lists. Like others have said, I don't think you're "spreading FUD", but the way you're going about this is not as helpful as you think. Okay, you've outlined some problems, that's good, we need people who can see problems - now, how can you help remedy them?

My jaw actually dropped and I reluctantly finding myself admiring you slightly.
