Yes it does. I prefer PoW/PoS hybrids because imo PoW is likely to result in wider distribution than initial PoS. Nxt is a horrible investment for new investors imo because forged transaction fees go to the large initial accounts. This is unlike a typical PoS model where someone can at any point invest and almost immediately see a return. I have no financial stake in Nxt's success or failure. I tried it and found it lacking.
That is certainly a problem.
However, it is not a problem of Nxt. It is a problem of those narrow-minded "investors" that only strive to pull out profit from it and nothing else.
Let me put it that way:
- if you only want get profit and then get out when investing, Nxt is the
wrong place.
- if you want to get profit AND by doing that honestly supporting a decentralized economy, Nxt is the
right place.
- if you want to get profit, to support a decentralized economy AND to contribute ideas, code and initiative, Nxt is definitely the
right place.
Nxt is
not only a coin but it is also plenty of more. We do Nxt not for ourselves but for all of the people. So, please, when discussing properties of Nxt, do it without that short-term-minded thinking.
