So given how this thread is always on-topic, I would like to hear a few reasons for and against NXT, if you ladies and gentlemen have an opinion on the matter.
wow ok where do i start.. perhaps i will just link to important posts that can sum up things better then i...
buy anything with nxt where ever btc is acceptedhttps://nxtforum.org/multigateway-jl777/btc-bridge-buy-anything-with-nxt-that-you-can-buy-for-btc!/
sub atomic cross chain transactions nearly in (i think beta) releasehttps://nxtforum.org/multigateway-jl777/nxtsubatomic-atomic-crosschain-exchange/msg14063/#msg14063Asset ExchangeAsset Exchange is the decentralised marketplace of Nxt. It is where any any asset, digital or physical, can be traded peer to peer without the need for a centralised third party. The Asset Exchange concept is often generally referred to as Coloured Coins in the cryptocurrency world.
multigatewaymultigateway will allow deposit of crypto coins, starting out with btc, ltc, drk and doge, into a multisigniture "account" and deposits are then represented in asset exchange as "assets" which then can be traded and who ever buys the "assets" of that coin can then withdraw the coins from multigateway allowing decentralized crypto trading at high speed(see instantdex) with out any risk of 3rd party theft of coins(gox)

InstantDEXInstantDEX is a service built on top of Nxt’s Multigateway service and Nxt Asset Exchange and has been shown in a proof of concept to have achieved ~5 second transaction times prior to any optimization. The goal of InstantDEX is to allow for real time trading of any Nxt Asset against any other Nxt Asset, not just Multigateway assets, and also NXT itself.
After optimization, the goal is to achieve transactions in the ~3 second timeframe. The Multigateway will need to be trusted to redeem assets but almost all of InstantDEX will be decentralized. Due to the nature of the transactions, those with good internet connections will get better performance than those with bad internet connections. InstantDEX is still in development and the discussion thread can be found at here.
https://nxtforum.org/multigateway-jl777/secret-project/Monetary SystemMonetary System will allow you to create currencies backed by NXT. New coins are created by "locking" NXTs. This could be thought as similar to “burning” Nxt but this is inaccurate as the process can be reversed. If you destroy 7% of the supply the created coins then you get 7% of the locked NXTs back. You are unable to lock more NXTs into the coin once it is created so the supply can’t be inflated. Transaction fees for coins created in the Monetary System can only be paid in NXT.

https://nxtforum.org/monetary-systemhttps://nxtforum.org/monetary-system/Automated TransactionsIn simple terms, Automated Transaction will be trustless Escrows. Work is being done on a Turing-complete scripting layer that can operate on top of the Nxt blockchain. "Turing-complete" is a term that means the scripting language is not limited in scope and can compute anything. This Nxt application will allow for the creation of Distributed Autonomous Corporations (DACs) that can issue transactions automatically, based on a set of rules.
this is huge.. i think lol https://nxtforum.org/pub-crawl/rfc-project-'jinn'-(processor)/msg14376/#msg14376digital goods storehttps://nxtforum.org/digital-goods-storethats enough i think lol loads more in the forums
