fyi, no currency is 100% safe.

especially not a decentralized currency.

the only way for a crypto to become anywhere near as safe as - say, the US dollar- would be with government insured backing, which is 100% against the entire point of cryptocurrencies....

Besides, even government backed, insured currencies are still susceptible to scams and a ton of other potential security problems.

There is no such thing as perfect security.

Success of NXT depends on the greed of the stakeholders. If they don't give away most all of their coins it could be labeled a scam sometime in the future.

I think that in the future years the surviving coins will be those that focus on anonymity, decentralization, strong security against both client and server attacks, as well as have fair mining algorithms that can't be overtaken by specialised hardware. Cheesy

Before I start I must emphasize that I am new to this and that I am by no means comprehensively in the know on the dynamics of the crypto-currency.
I have invested in Bitcoin as I was drawn to the idea of a decentralized currency.

I became aware of the altcoin movement over the last few weeks and from what I can see there are a lot of spam coins in circulation, coins which do not push the movement forward and are only there to fuel pump and dumpers.
I would like to think that there are teams out there who really want to push crypto-currency to the next level where it is 100% safe, effective, fair and used by everyone. 
When I look at other altcoins many of them may have one angle that make them appealing such as superior security or a development/marketing team who have a long term vision for their coin but I don't get the feeling that any one coin really nails everything. I do know that cryto-currency is still in its infancy but I am curious as to how others see the things developing from here?
