Keep it rolling, guys.
Not bad for only a few days. Maybe we should make a tutorial for how to use the marketplace? Does it exist already?
Regarding price, the way I see it:
Price goes down due to:
-Merchants being paid in Nxt, then selling those Nxt to cover USD expenses
Price goes up due to:
-People buying Nxt, so they can buy items sold via marketplace
-Nxt being used as more of a currency as I suspect that merchants are more likely to keep their money as Nxt. Partially because it's more of a hassle to cash out then it is via BitPay. Partially because this should attract those interested in crypto more than others, and they are therefore less likely to cash out.
-Increased marketing for Nxt as it's yet another very cool feature of Nxt
-People downloading the client, realizing all the cool features Nxt has and getting over that initial hassle of setting it up so they can sell items, then deciding that they'll hold on to some Nxt.
Volume goes up in general.
I see it as sort of the craigslist of crypto.
