Promises very often look better than realization but I wish NEM the best, also Nxt. I am holder of both (if my Nem stake promise will be fulfilled).
Yes i have to agree. If NEM delivers all promises, then quite some time will have passed, and by that time, some killer features of NXT will be in existence. And at that moment, NEM will be one generation behind. I fear it will always be 1 generation behind.
I couldn't disagree more. The fact that we are even having this conversation before NEM has launched anything tells me that
if NEM launches something even close to comparable to NXT, it will pass NXT quickly. You have to admit the community is quite huge for a coin that isn't close to launching yet.
How would that be even possible? If this project launches in 3 months, then NXT will be nearly 9 months old and will have an established asset exchange and a digital goods store. The network effect alone would be enough to overcome your better distribution AT START. Because right now, we have much more than 3000 stakeholders.
Prove me wrong, but don't argue with me about how your vaporware will beat our already launched projects...
Just take a look at mastercoin, i fear this project will turn out like MSC but with less money stolen obviously.
UTOPIAN is the keyword here
As a mastercoin supporter- and a long time bitcoiner that's seen all the alt-coins come and go, I have to say I find the "buy in" process for mastercoin a bit of a boon. While perhaps JR gets rich off the project, it also simultaneously motivates him and supports him. Last I checked, he's now working on it full time, funded by the money essentially given to him by the people who bought in at the start. In some ways it's less a rippoff (of course, I'd like to believe that right?) then it is angel investing. A few bad months, (or even years) in terms of the price of Mastercoin shouldn't affect JR and others commitment as they have already been paid to work on it. Here's hoping anyway.
That said, I'm excited about all these projects. :-)
