Nxt will be the next big thing over the next 3 months or so. If you hold it in that time you get free Ardor coin.
Ive held NXT for about a year now with barely a difference in price. Whats happening in the coming months that would cause a possible price increase? Also thought nxt was the same developers as waves or at least working with them or something like that?
The nxt devs are making a new coin called Ardor, and they are giving them all away to all nxt holders. The devs will be taking hourly snapshots of the next blockchain in the coming months, then giving free Ardor coins to all the nxt private keys that were holding nxt during a snapshot.
People won't want to sell their nxt while the snapshots are taking place, they will want to buy them.
Keep holding your nxt because you get free Ardor coins for holding them.

You'll be able to participate in Ardor right away. As Ardor continues testing and development, Nxt 1.9 will be released. With Nxt 1.9, you'll get your first chance to own a piece of Ardor. All those who hold an amount of NXT will also get a piece of Ardor. Snapshots will start be taken on an hourly basis, starting on July 14th to October 12th. Then, your total NXT will be averaged, and you'll receive that amount in Ardor tokens on October 12th, which will be freely tradeable up until the Ardor system launches.
At block 1,000,000 on October 12th, 2016, snapshotting will stop, and you'll be allowed to trade your Ardor tokens in NXT 1.9 in preparation for the launch of the Ardor blockchain.
