I believe that upcoming catapult update will change everything and NEM, a truly fantastic and cheap cryptocurrency with a unique and progressive proof of importance concept will challenge ETH at it's own game and replace the damned Buterin's $hit coin, which only old grannies with their cryptokitties find useful

I think I myself prefer eth because the price of eth itself is quite tempting and now many people who make transactions using eth, so the possibility of eth prices will continue to rise each month, therefore I prefer eth.

NEM is almost the same as ethereum, but it didn't had a success development.
You should think about all the possibilities out here.
NEM is pretty the same as eth, but they do not have the same function to create very smart contracts as you can do on eth.

LOL theres no comparison with the two,ETH is matured and has good community compare to the NEM while you see a bullish charts still it will go dump,too much manipulation by the whales i hate NEM cant even make a good chart analysis with this coin.

NEM is cheap crypto currency? You are the first person that said this. NEM made literally more than 100x. Dude what are you smoking?
We can discuss about is NEM better than ETH technologically but you can't say NEM is cheap. Look at its graphic and say it again.

Nem and qtum are good competitors, I think both coins will perform well in 2018. But for now, no coin is better than ethereum, for new coins having better tech means nothing, they've just started.

lol, obviously some people dont know much about NEM here!  :D

Even without catapult, NEM is more scalable than ETH, just look at all the problems cryptokitties is causing!

ETH hater here? Let's not forget that both tehnologies are widely adopted. No matter how good NEM will get Ethereum will be there, and Buterin's idea helped TONS of projects to get on their feet. You can't deny that!

I think ETH is better than NEM, ETH is an old coin that has been proven to survive untl today, and every day keeps on improving, but NEM, I'm not sure NEM will remain a good coin.

My friend as we all know ETH already established position and the value continues to increase. I don't want to talk about the NEM no comparison.

NEM is one of the best coins I am following. Tech is already very good and will be improved with catapult.
No network congestión on NEM, fast transactions, low fee, easy to use API.  It has never been hacked like ETH. Onchain smart contracts can be very dangerous (Dao etc...). Something like that would never happen with NEM.

I have never understood why ETH has so many followers.

The price quite tempting? Nem is much more tempting that ethereum, because the price is now below one dollar each, and it dropped a little bit today because of the dip.

Ethereum has went from $20 to $860 in just a year, that is more than x30 in just a year.

I would never put my funds in a coin that has already increased that much.

Yes, it is very useful, but they can create as many ethereum's at the want, and NEM has a fixed supply that can never be changed.

Cheap stands here not for the price of the coin (I know it was originally given out for free), but for the price of transactions and smart contracts, which make the real value for cryptocurrencies. I don't deny that ETH developed the industry and so on and so forth. However, it has already gone beyond the limit of reasonable pricing and should be replaced by a more competitive currency. And I still believe that NEM is one of the best options on the crypto market

You are aware of the fact that you could buy 2.4million xem for 8$ in 2014 and that its worth about 2million now?

The scalability problem can be fixed through the hardfork of ethereum and combination from the off-chain scalability. Crypto kitties give a good example of how real dapps work but in another word that makes the scalability of ethereum is not effective to run only one dapps in the blockchain.

Eth its still much more popular then nem. Right now many projects work on eth... It will be hard to detronise Vitalics project. Nem needs hard marketing campaigns and time.

But is similar, the thing that NEM is cheaper because they development hasn't these kind of smart contracts is not truth, better is just because ETH came at first .

I'm sure that he will win a confrontation with the Etherium. They can come together in a duel for the second place by the end of the next 2018.

ETH will survive anyway because it has everyday use. It was also been promoted by Etherdelta, kitty and other extremely popular things. And what about NEM?

I think hatred and such aggressive behavior not your best qualities and sure don't help you in the future. Best cryptocurrency is not BTC and not ETH or NEM - best is who allow you make money and are useful. Ethereum are useful.

Ethereum has first mover advantage, and once it goes live with POS and plasma i believe it will be hard to beat ;)

I believe on Nem blockchain.. they have the best wallet so far.. its more progressive than other coin wallets. the catapult will release on Dec 31 i think and if people choose to get this coin then will be a millionaire next year.. ETH has a lot of problem now coz the exchange was hacked they should fix this!

Well, I have to agree with you that except for COMSA there has been little or no real use of NEM, however, ETH has cornered itself. It has already had one fork and established ETH classic. The second one won't change anything. Just like BTG it will be less efficient than Bitcoin Cash used to be, not more. ETH has to become cheap in means of transactions and smart contracts or has to be replaced by another cryptocurrency. And due to the technical weakness of the network (as it is constantly overwhelmed with transactions) ETH is running out of options.

You should look into the projects that are being built on top of NEM, because there are now heaps.

 Maybe i d0nt know when NEM show. But ethereum is have many years in crypto digital currency... and also the one the most common token...So i vote eth....

maybe it will answer some questions.

https://blog.nem.io/ethereum-versus-nem-the-obvious-choice/

there are rumors, that Vitalik could leave Ethereum. That would have an big impact on ETH...

Exactly. ETH has already became BTC level mainstream, while NEM is still in the back. NEM might be a better choice, which it probably is, but it hasn't been able to get people's attention.

Eth is already a strong coin and its has been used in many project so the position of eth is really strong, Nem. Is not a bad coin but bitcoin eth still cant be replace, Nem still need time and keep on atrracting big company to adapt the coin, as far as I know Nem still far from big companies target

Yes, you have a point here. NEM still has a long way to cover, however, it has such a reliable and huge partner like WeChat, which will certainly bring it to the top. Besides, it's hard to deny that every day there are more and more troubles within ETH network. And ETH team has proved to be rather reluctant, when it comes to solving it, despite all their official claims they did little to tackle cryptokitties or any other major problem. Just like with Bankor ICO. It's a stroke of luck for Buterin that few ICO's now manage to get their hardcaps. As combined with cryptokitties the ETH network would have collapsed.

NEM is a total messed coin,a lot of whales keeps pumping and dumping this shitcoin stay away from it.

 ;D ;D ;D

Seems you don't follow NEM. A lot of projects are build on NEM (No Parity and Crypto kitties amateurism), 2018 will be a nice year (maybe also for Eth, who knows). The whole market is controlled by whales btw.

But who cares. This will be an endless discussion. Everyone is shilling his own bag.

I read the answers of members of the forum. I would be very happy if NEM reaches the same price heights as ETH. I choose NEM and I will advise everyone to buy it.  :)

LOL I am too holding NEM for months,i know deep technical analysis,i monitored the coin almost every hour because i was rekt with this coin a long time ago,a lot of pumps and dumps are happening with this coin dont be biased mate,thats fact 5months have passed bullish patterns are being tortured by the whales.

I'm afraid that you'll discover a lot more about Bitcoin. Have you followed the news? If yes than you know that couple of whales have made a prior agreement with couple of exchanges to sell their BTC. That's why the price went down to 11.000 and than back to 15.000 dollars. Pump and dump you said? So should we all stay out of BTC? Is that the point you are making?

It's great that we have reached an agreement on the point that NEM is a great cryptocurrency, though it takes time to see whether it is better than ETH.

I definitely recommend Ethereum. It is a coin that has developed greatly and I hope that its price will soon be over $ 1000. Nobody expected it. I have invested a lot and warmly supports her.

I think there are the best also caused certainly they were great cryptocurrency at all. I had no experience in NEM but i think its also good for investment caused i heard the value is pumping and dumping. In ethereum there a good development and it becomes popular to people and they give their trust to that coin. Either of that two cryptocurrency you going choose as long as it is profitable for you. Goodluck

I dont even doubt that ETH will continue to be at least second most popular cryptocurrency, it might even surpass bitcoin in the future. I would choose ETH over NEM anytime.

I strongly agree. it has been proven that the design of ETH is very successful. The emerging ICO projects now use ETH as their smart contract. this proves that ETH is superior to NEM

I would definitely put Ethereum in your place. This is a more reliable option because it is well developed and its price reaches even 1000 $! I invested a lot myself and did not expect such a profit.

I think that both coins have a future and their advantages. I believe that both these coins should be in the portfolio.

NEM takes a huge leap in terms of functionalities in the world of cryptocurrencies. They intend to compete with Ethereum by offering an alternative to smart contracts, making it easier for companies to implement blockchain technology.

Both are backed by nice technologies but NEM lacks the reputation that Etherium got. Etherim to Nem is like BTC to Etherium

I have to tell you that NEM is making by far more money, when it comes to investing, so it’s barely an argument. Though we are mainly discussing the technical side of coins and it’s usability, where ETC has some advantages over NEM, but for investors it’s either NEM or Ripple

By the end of this year, putting bitcoin and its forks aside, the largest percentage of marketcap will be in ETH, NEM and XRP

Would not also surprise me if NEM comes out on top.

I would strongly agree, especially taking into consideration recent problems of RIPPLE

Ethereum (https://coincodex.com/crypto/ethereum/) has way more potential than NEM. It will probably reach $5,000 - $10,000 this year.

I think Ethereum is matured and has good community compare to the NEM
while you see a bullish charts still it will go dump.
ETH has to become cheap in means of transactions and smart contracts or has to be replaced by another cryptocurrency.

Well since ive been following NEM closely, I can tell you that lots of projects planned to be made on ETH have decided to go with NEM instead simply because ETH was too difficult to develop on.

Because of current this problem of Ethereum Network, maybe NEM is a good choice. But I still believe in Vitalik and on Ethereum.

There is nothing to compare about mate,Ethereum is an ICON to the cryptocurrencies most of the alts are based in ethereum,NEM? i doubt there will be no competition between the two,NEM has a good technology but not better than eth,plus lack of development and exposure to the community it needs 2-3years to be matured enough,NEM has the worst advertising team making some p2p promotions is the worst thing you can do to promote a coin.

I will always keep choosing ethereum forever even if you compare ethereum vs. bitcoin I still choose ethereum.

I prefer ethereum, ethereum nowadays has many investors and supporters.

p2p promotions? lol

Meetups are organised by members globally, great community that is constantly growing.

ETH is a populer for creating great contracts in the blockchain and NEM is a peer to peer cryptocurrency and blockchain platform . NEM is almost same as ethereum but eth is most populer then nem . eth  is an old coin which is used by most people . 

Strong growth provoked the news about the integration of NEM crypto currency as a means of payment into the popular WeChat messenger. ETH does not offer anything like that. I don`t think it will be correct to compare these two crypto currencies, cause they offer absolutely different opportunities, but I`m amazed about the results NEM has demonstrated over last few months. Another exciting news is that about the end of the year developers will release the  Catapult - a completely updated from scratch NEM blockchain even faster and even more scalable. Transactions will be confirmed by a new type of mining. These two events will raise NEM in price by another 2-3 times.

I still believe on ethereum future than nem. Although nem also good coin but if between nem and eth, eth is still the best investment for me. Until today ethereum exists and growing its price.

Well, i still have more believe with etherium rather than Nem because etherium is the most popular and strong altcoin after bitcoin.
However, invest in Nem can give you more challenge because sometime low price altcoin can give more profit and also sometime bigger lost.

ETH is still a coin of trust because of its popularity and a certain price in many markets. while the NEM is still a new coin despite having a good price but I think still lost fame with ETH.

Ethereum is much easier to use than NEM, that is probably why Ethereum has such a high price and NEM doesn't.

I  think what to compare, what is better that there is no sense worse. Everything will be depend on the teams of developers and communities.
That who will be more purposeful and more active, that will win.

NEM is terrible platform to work with. UI of their wallet is one on the ugliest I've ever seen. NEM wallet is out-of-sync with exchanges most of the time.

My verdict - ETH in 10000%.

I agree with you! NEM may be better than ETH technogically but many coin creat at this time than ETH

Ill never trust people who are so emotional and who have so aggressive position without any reason! You have choose don't buy ETH Also I don't understand such kind of people who can buy all they want and make business how they want but they choose abusive ways.

lol, whatever

I agree with you mate but to compare NEM to ETH? really? I know NEM is good but they had the worst marketing. If they want to check whose better on both, just the price of both coins.

I am currently holding these two coins and I think ethereum is more likely to have a good value in the future although I can see that NEM is getting profitable these days but the pump that happen in ethereum is more promising also the technology of ethereum is much wider than NEM but we can still depend on it and I'm sure these coins will be more profitable in the coming years

ETH has just experienced a spike so I will not buy it at the current value unless I will invest in a long time. I will get NEM for sure now because it has seen a significant drop recently and I think a pump could be on the corner for that. Both are good in long-term investments though.

Without doubt I would choose ETH as a good investment for the long term than NEM. There are still good and good opportunities to earn more profits in the ETH than at NEM, comparing its value now bots have a big difference.

I prefer Ethereum to NEM because Ethereum has a better community and a better team than NEM. NEM is very popular in Asia, especially in Japan which they are starting to use the NEM smart contract for ICO, but Ethereum is used by many people and by the ICO project. It's easier to create a smart contract with the Ethereum network because the Ethereum developer community is bigger than NEM and you can have a lot of online tutorials on the internet.

I don't think so, it is proven untill now ethereum is still the main choice compared to nem.
Ethereum has a better network and more cooperation with large companies.
So for me ethereum is always better than NEM.

Both are pretty good digital currencies and on the top list in the cryptoworld as far as market capitalization is concerned. But i choose ETH over NEM for stability and usage because we could not deny that almost digital currencies and upcoming currencies are more focused on the ERC-20 standard tokens that run on the ETH blockchain.

It really depends because both are actually great coins and have the potential to grow big in the near future. I wouldn’t compare these two coins instead I’ll probably hold on to both of these coins for future investment. Ethereum has progressed and NEM also had progress although they have different platforms and different philosophy on their coins.

Dont ever compare ETH's platform to a shitcoin like NEM,it doesnt even make sense?ethereum's platform is being used by most of the new alts,NEM?you are comparing a solid rock and a toilet paper.

ETH is best to invest, and after the recent dip it is a good time for ETH to pick up again.

But both have their own unique ecosystems of developers and users, surely there is room enough for both to coexist? They also have different architectures so not an exact comparison.

My two pence.

I think we should consider working with two coins. Looking for what it's needed. There are a lot of coins on the market and you do not have to limit yourself. I think that those people who work with one coin are limited.

indeed this alt is so amazing and i think this altcoin has an amazing future i personally had followed the uprising of it since it was released good luck for the dev team to making it a lot stronger.

LOL

ERC20 tokens are all the same, but except for EtherDelta ETH has no advantages over NEM. ETH is expansive and the code itself? It’s a nonsense- creating a new programming language by combining a number of existing once with no utility purpose. For just one reason- making money? And what about proof of stake implimintation- Buterin (and not only him) actually made this decision without even asking miners opinion. You are probably unaware of what is ETH and how Buterin’s mob (where he is not even the key figure at the moment) controls it to the profit of their own

a perfect example of a douchebag  trying to hype his coin,ethereum has proven many achievements as a solid platform while your shitcoin NEM doesnt have any achievements yet,why would most of the people choose ethereum over nem?how many people cares about nem? what about ethereum?does it make sense?or you still dont see the difference?get some sleep mate you or eat something you need it badly.

ETHEREUM is an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computingplatform featuring smart contract (scripting) functionality to running.

NEM is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency and blockchain platform.

The Ethereum also has good prospects, in the future it will go to POS and will use the CASPER protocol.

I will still go witj eth, because i know eth will still be the best altcoin in 2018

I will go with eth because it is the leading altcoin in the industry right now

There is a relationship between not Ethereum and NEM to compare them. They are very different coins. For example, when Ethereum has a smart contract, there is no NEM.

Time will tell, but am happy to own both of these coins , l hope that they both do well in 2018. ETH probably has some headaches ahead trying to move to a POS protocol and they both should be ware of NEO, it has some huge growth to come.

No need to challenge or put these two in comparison.

NEM = cheap good as an alternative if you can't afford to by ETH.

---

ETH = one of the best altcoins, next to bitcoin and does have smart contracts, good for long term holding. I have NEM and ETH so I have stepped up on a good ladder.

one of the hallmarks of ethereum is from smart contract,
nem and ethereum are very different, and for nem does't have.

I really like allcoin NEM. I hold this coin. I wish NEM several times rose in price. But, I think that NEM is not yet able to replace ETH.

As far as I know, NEM was created as a branch to the NXT project, but further completely was created from scratch. But also as well as in Ethereum, developers created the project for applications launch on the NEM platform with much more flexible opportunities in comparison with Ethereum. They have different algorithms of forming of blocks. At NEM: POI, Proof-of-Importance. One of opportunities: management of the level of centrality of system of any concerned party created for the needs. Plus a heap additional functions on the platform. And my opinion, NEM has excellent prospects

NEM must take a lot of ICO's before it can be compared to ETh. Both look like good solid projects. But ETH have unlimited quantity and XEM still is not very popular.

For me I will choose ethreum. Nowadays ethereum is very popular and many investors who supports them.

If I choose between this two altcoins I'd rather choose ETH rather NEM because eth is a top ranking coin in coinmarketcap and has lot of investors and also it has it,s own market.

NEM and ETH both the coins are good potential coins those will be very valuable in the future than now.So we can decide which one is best for our investment like capital amount because Ethereum price is already expensive over $1000 and NEM is $1.40 so if you can't afford to buy ethereum,just buy NEM and hold it for long term.

This is what makes many people like eth because the position in coinmarketcap is very good for sale and purchase transactions. It makes one sure if the eth position is very good in cryptocurrency and becomes an option compared to NEM.

NEM need to go a long way to achieve the success that the etherium submitted to, only it must be taken into account that the airwaves will not be standing all the time, so I think the chances are not enough

They won’t, dude!

Casper protocol is just a myth. A fairytale that Buterin tells his devoted $hit coin holders. Without transaction verification ETH network will stop functioning, while paying to minners through Ethereum Foundation might be an option m, however, in this case the Foundation itself will be running out of funds and proof of stake will be introduced again.

Those, who wright that NEM has no smartcontracts- get to Google and see for yourself. NEM has smartcontracts- the big difference is that in NEM they are off-chain, rather than on-chain, which rationalizes the cost.

ETH is a $hit coin- 100%, though the truth is- $hit coins still grow in price and that’s why your arguments are not convincing me- the major purpose of any coin is not to make you rich, but to introduce utility- and at that stage ETH is completely over performed by NEM. Those failing to admit that actually prove that they are nothing but laymen in the question

ETH is a shitcoin and all of the alts are shitcoins thats why they are being called alts,dont tell me your NEM isnt a shitcoin? and all of these coins that are better than NEM like NEO which has bigger community than NEM is totally worthess? you must be eaten by your ego,if shitcoins grows why your NEM were stucked in $1 and why a single ETH is worth $1,000+ ? are the people who bought this shitcoin are all fooled by vitalik?

maybe you just need some sleep and stop watching too much fantasy.

I just don't like the price of NEM.
Their team knows how to promote their coin though they have issues with putting that money into the market.

I pitty this TS ??? ,a perfect example of a self centered ignorant douche,you can clearly see on his replies that he is connected to the NEM team and has intention to hype his dying coin,the

ETH vs NEM for me personally I prefer ETH in compare with NEM, because I trust more to invest in ETH.

Yes, my ego is enermous, pal, it’s three times bigger than Vitalik’s, however, the big difference is that mine wouldn’t Have let me use my platform only for the sake of my own benefit, while declaring that “I’m a saint caring about nothing except your well being and perfection of the platform”, while at the same time only making money and not giving a shit about whatever is happening to your platform and taking orders from major investors.

ETH is an awful platform- anyone denying that- is just far too lazy to open the code and see for himself

Nem and Eth have their own pros and cons but yeah Eth is a great altcoin so far and it will stay on that position for good, however Nem are still undervalued which offers great services I believe this one can also gives you great profit. Good to hold both of this specially for long term goal.

Now, I prefer ETH because I think that ETH has proven itself for many years. For NEO, it takes times to reach ETH's level.

NEO?! C’mon, dude!

If you take a $hit coin and copy that (as NEO did) you are getting the same $hit coin, but called otherwise. Right?

However, NEM is absolutely the other history- it’s a true game changer and is worth participating as it is a much better platform

Well guys if he is a pro- NEM supporter we cant change it,just let him live with his dreams that someday NEM would reach what ETH's is doing.
I dont believe in NEM such poor developments,lack of exposure and community support i would rather choose ETH for my own security i wont risk my money to an infant platform like NEM who doesnt have any big achievements yet just a lot of hype that doesnt affect the coin itself.

NEM is more of quality in my honest opinion but not as popular as ETH right now. It can compete with ETH but time will tell if they will showcase their strength and outmatch ETH and get the spotlight. The ICOs under it are at least not scam projects. This is just my humble opinion and good day to everyone.

I believe in both of then but I trust NEM more. I have more investment in Nem than in Eth. Eth have lots of bugs in them that can cause lots of trouble in the future. While nem is steadily developing their product and slowly gaining attention. This may be the year for both of them.

Both are very good coin NEM is cheaper in price according to ETH and ETH is moving way faster and growing daily but for long-term purpose NEM is sure a good choice as it will grow for sure in future but at this time ETH is going good and I am holding both of them for long term and I am sure both will make me happy in the future.

NEM is a good coin but I do not think nem can compete with the ethereum that currently has the most rapid development

I think that the comparison you should be making is EOS vs ETH. Look into that one and then also compare it to NEM. WHat do you think?

Yeah its better to compare EOS and ETH,NEM? duh what a waste of time i dont quite understand why people comparing two different things its like you are comparing spaghetti and cookies.

Well, I have read somewhere in the first page that a lot of people here do not know much or even nothing about NEM. That's clearly the case here. A lot of people here only know the most popular ones and they even lack the knowledge to gauge these coins according to their technological aspects. NEM is one great project that would even offer more than what Ethereum is offering such as in terms of scalability for example. However, it is sad that in the battle of hype Ethereum is leading. NEM remains one of the top but a little bit silent.

I'm not agree with you, Eth is better than NEM even at this moment has low price. NEM has price action and volume history but will not guarantee beat ETH, your opinion too far from reality. As long ETH still use as alternative payment and income after bitcoin, it will be difficult to against, specially for NEM. Your faith is good but please, replace it at the right time and moment. Good luck to you.

I don't think this is a good match up NEM against ETH.
NEM has potential to rise above but it's not enough to beat ETH in the long run.
ETH has become a better coins as there ERC20 platform has being adopted by new ico. These is a guarantee that in this year ETH will rise to $2k.

I think Ethereum is matured and has good community compare to the NEM..

I choose ETH because a good cryptocurrency is not built in an instant, even if they offer interesting or good things, the users themselves are spelled out intelligently we need proof instead of promise.

ETH is good than NEM ..NEM is also a matured Crytocurrency,, but not better than ETH. ETH have more potential..

I think the etherium is better than both, but for the new myself I'm still not sure if it's also very good for investment!

NEM isn't an adult cryptocurrency and NEM is potiental the same with ETH too just because people are using too much ETH in transfering than NEM so that's why ETH is ahead then NEM. But you could earn money from investing in NEM right now because the price is really charming.

If nem really has potential,why it was stucked in $1 for a long time NEM isnt new to the community but why?because people arent interested and doesnt want to give a shit to this shitcoin.

I agree if NEM does have potential,why it is taking too long to pumps its price?i wonder what the developers are doing and the promotional team if NEM has,but i doubt.

The NEM price will definitely grow in the near future. At the moment I prefer eth. I think the price of a Nem is so low because of the lack of popularity

Why do you think so? are there any arguments? Or are they just thoughts that are not backed by anything?

ethereum has more potential then other coins (except neo) so there is no doubt about nem too.
maybe there will be a pump bump it wont be for long on nem side

There are more Ethereum projects wanting to shift over to NEM than ever before.

Here is one such example:

https://forum.nem.io/t/prover-a-block-hain-service-for-confirming-the-authenticity-of-events-facts-or-phenomena/13210

I think I myself prefer eth because the price of eth itself is quite tempting and now many people who make transactions using eth,

We can't compare scalability between NEM and ETH because ETH had much more transactions per second on the network and for now NEM scalability is just theory

No doubt, I would choose ETH as a good investment in the long term than NEM. There are still good and good opportunities to earn more profit in ETH than in NEM, comparing its value..

That's right, ETH is great for long term investments compared to NEM,
I agree with you. I also personally would choose ETH as a long term investment of course.

ETH is better than NEM for me because it is good for many aspect in cryptocurrency then it has a lot of potential specially in rising value, so I will choose ethereum than to any altcoin. Also ethereum it possible to grow in this coming year after its big falling value in the market.

I would choose Ethereum anyway. It's the most reliable and trustworthy currency (except Bitcoin) and have no competitors on the market.

For my part, I prefer ETH, which offers smart contracts, people like to invest in ETH, to be honest, ETH is more famous and sophisticated than NEM, and NEM is a lack of popularity.

It is very lame to compare Etherum with NEM.  Even NEO cannot compare with NEM. Better focus on development on how will NEM compete on the new players than wasting time comparing it. We don't see any good development that will encourage us to buy this coin.

In my mind NEM is almost the same as ethereum, but it has no successful development. You have to think clearly with all the possibilities here, NEM is just as et, but they do not have the same function to create a very smart contract as you can do on et.

That link is a bias forum. If there are many  who wants to switch on NEM there should be a ton of list that you need to add. Switching one project from Ethereum contract to NEM doesn't mean everybody will follow. It is fine to be optimistic but you also need to be realistic. If NEM is better than ETH then prove it and not came up from a theory that NEM is better than ETH because Ethereum is already been tested while you are story is just a theory.

NEO is one of the latest a blockchain of projects which are engaged in development of platforms for smart contracts. NEO allows users to perform certain operations depending on whether they satisfied the set conditions. Project purpose: to facilitate development and management of assets on a blockchain, considering protection of the property rights. Ethereum is the most known a blockchain for the platform for a smart of contracts, and ETH takes the second position on capitalization in the cryptoforeign exchange market.

xem never catch up  etherium, too many projects have already been released and will be released on the etherium.

i dont know about the nem and i always use ethereum for investment so for me i will choose eth..

As far as I remember, the project of NEM in the past year was news that they are very seriously planning to deploy a large marketing program to popularize the NEF plumble. But all the same while I choose ETHER  ;D

As mentioned lot of projects have come out based on Eth compared to that of NEM. Also majority of the projects were successful growing to much higher level in very short time frames. NEM continues to grow, but won't cope with that of ethereum which has got the market in a range to overcome bitcoin's market.

There I have to choose ETH compared to NEM, I also believe that NEM is a good project but I don't the like the total supply, it's too huge
and as I notice, projects with bit supply normally does not increase it's price easily. This year is I guess a good year for ETH as it has touched to $1,000 already.

Yes that is true because $eth will be huge this year lot of big news upcoming and those ICOs under ethereum network has a big potential this year. Possible this year ethereum price will reach around $2k - $5k. Goodluck to all of us.

I prefer ETH, although now the price of ETH is weakening but I am sure the future of ETH price will increase far and can beat bitcoin price.

Now after the situation that happened to NEM (I mean hacking), Ethereum has the stronger positions. It will be supported by more people, who deal with the virtual currency. Meanwhile, I would also hold NEM in my wallet.

I personally prefer Ethereum instead of NEM, I think they have a much better team and a chance to achieve something big. A and Ethereum is the main contender who can make a jump similar to BTC.

Explain why the hack is a big deal? Any exchange can be hacked, Ethereums solution was to simply fork the chain, not ideal.

Meanwhile all stolen funds are being tracked and traced.

I think NEM is better. ETH slow transaction confirmation times and a thoroughly congested network. NEM is undervalued with great potential.

smart contracts for NEM are off chain. smart contracts are just treated as regular applications, however way a dev wants to make it. So the blockchain does not need to process the smart contract directly like how Ethereum does it, NEM just processes whatever needs to be processed from what the off chain application gives it....like send this or send that...etc. this is why companies can easily adopt NEM without having to learn a different programming language ( with the help of REST APIs) and just connect.

Nem is eth of Japan

This is a very, very interesting question. Because recently we have been watching with you how the NEM project is gaining popularity more and more. As far as I remember, they should have a very large marketing program this year

Blockchain NEM is a self-reproducing and stable system that provides generation of blocks in an automatic mode. In this case, 1 block is created in just 1 minute, this is a record value among all known cryptocurrencies  at the moment!

NEM is not cheap for now. Probably you can say this in half an year ago. NEM does not have that popular in smart contract, so it's still a long way to go.

are you sure to say NEM is cheap? as I do not say anything like that. but we can believe that NEM technology is better than ETH. look at the graphics first.

eth is more established than nem and that won't change even after the update I believe. there are some other platform that you could argue are better than eth and you might be right. But in terms of usage, eth is still miles ahead of their competitors. Their community is large and that makes difference.

I'm not saying NEM is better than ETH but at least in one thing OP was definitely right: NEM was cheap in December 22 and it had risen two times more than BTC by January 04, 2018. And now after decreasing two times more than BTC since January 04 I think it can be called cheap again because today its USD price is lower than in December 22. Since no way NEM can be called a sh*tcoin its price will rise in the future for sure, the only question is how much. I think we can expect a two times rise in the nearest future. Although I like and support Ethereum I think it will rise not more 40% in the same time period. (Please note that I'm talking about the nearest future here, and not about long term. )

Eth is more than NEM , and I more fan of eth cause I trust it and it's have a place on my heart , and to be honest eth is more applicable for us users , where we can input our different coins , and eth where I stored my income on the bounties.

I think after Catapult release NEM can be better - it is coming already soon. But Ethereum is very perspective too. These both coins are my favourite:)

I agree with you! NEM will win!  ;D  This will contribute to 2 important factors:
1. The uniqueness of the algorithms of the NEM system, according to which success is obtained not the one with the most money, but the most active users, which bring real benefits to the system and the economy as a whole.
2. NEM's focus on the real financial sector of the economy, which in time will be guaranteed to use advanced crypto-currency technologies.

Ethereum in my opinion is currently one of the best projects in the industry and has the potential to overcome Bitcoin in the coming years, while NEM has still a long way to go and to do a lot of things...

XEM is also a very interesting coin , but in General three competing Is ETH , NEO and XEM . In 2018, we will see the battle for first place

Not sure why we compare NEM with ETH. If we are talking about capitalization NEM is very far from ETH.
Concerning growth potential - NEM has one. I think that in the very best case NEM can reach top 7 this year, with the price about $2.

That may be true; however, I think Ethereum has gained so much more support from people in the market than NEM. I think that the technology supports a lot of different types of business. It is compatible with many kinds of investments as well that keeps people coming back to use it for investment. Also, having shown its reliability and endurance throughout the years it has been present, many people have come to trust it and has believed in it secondary only to Bitcoin.

NEM will never reach such a level as ETH.
Look at the teams and you'll understand!

This is an issue which is of great interest to me, since I know little about the tech of NEM. After having gone though all the posts of all the 9 pages of this thread (very painful process, BTW) the one I quote is the most technical one which has actually told me something new. If someone else has to share some real information on this issue, they are welcome. But how much backgroud noise we have to swallow here!

I choose ETH because it has an excellent development team and also has smart contracts.

Ethereum has more potential then other coins so there is no doubt about nem too. I do not think that the eth will give someone first place.

Eth gave to us an innovative instruments that's no doubt. But NEM smart contracts or applications being off chain....essentially being in the hands of the company or developer, this will interest bigger companies that have proprietary software that they don't wish to put onchain for everyone to see, which is what Ethereum lacks....it is open source so all can see the fancy codes that make a business service so unique.

When the amount of NEM based ICOs will become comparable to ETH one, we can talk about "NEM vs ETH".
For now this coins are in definitely different weight classes.

In some extent NEM can be even more interesting than Ethereum. Nem has a potential of sharp rise because now its price near the bottom line and it is possible to make a good profit in case of rise.

NEM was launched last March of 2015 which is still new. Nem are known for being differ from bitcoin in a number of key areas. NEM has been used on a block chain called Mijin in Japan by a number of financial companies. These are only few information about NEM. However, I still admire the potential of the Ethereum because it already proved to me its importance. I wasn't against to other's opinion because I am just stating what my thoughts and perceptions.

As I love such rivalry, everyone who has invested in a certain coin tries to bring it to the leading position. And that's fine, but really, after all, NEM is too average a coin in the market in terms of everything. And each of these coins has its own chance and its fans.

of course I choose ETH for long-term trading and daily trading because ETH has the potential to be expensive coin is supported by its many ICOs created from smart ETH contracts with it could trigger an ETH price increase.

It is hard to compare the both of them because NEM and ETH are good ICO and token. For me, ethereum is the better token or ICO because it has already a big experience in the marketing of cryptocurrency and it is already trusted token in this year. Wven ethereum is dropping it keep backing on track when it comes to the value in the marketing. NEM is good too but it is a coin that is average only for me. Both of them has potential but for me ethreum has a big potential token in this.

Of course i prefer ETH ,The ETHEREUM show us already how bullish it is.It maybe low before but its like a rocket for now since 3yrs ago.I believe so much in Eth that it will follow the bitcoin not the value  but follow to success.Nem is incomparable too a its a great project and also recognized already and many partners too..

If you want to create customized smart contracts with NEM, you should host them on the company's computer, they are decentralized Ethereum is aiming at companies that are willing to rebuild internal networks in the next 5 to 10 years. So, they want to work with Ethereum's customized smart contracts. It is time consuming and costly.

NEM is aiming at companies that want a blockchain solution that's ready to use, handle most data needs, 100% secure, fast and compatible with current systems. You don ‘t need a team of programmers for NEM.

This is a very, very interesting question. Because recently we have been watching with you how the NEM project is gaining popularity more and more. As far as I remember, they should have a very large marketing program this year

I know NEM is a great project and future updates will be big but still i do not see it competing with number 2 giant ETH, nem has way bigger supply and the ETH has already achieved adoption and it provides massive use cases already.

Good day, I consider NEM a more promising coin because the technology is more advanced than ETH, and so the processing speed of transactions is many times faster, which gives it a very big advantage,Good day, I consider NEM a more promising coin because the technology is more advanced than ETH, and so the processing speed of transactions is many times faster, which gives it a very big advantage, and the update of Catapult will also contribute to the development of this token and the update of Catapult will also contribute to the development of this token

NEM is faster, safer and easier to use, but Ethereum has a broader way to create custom decentralized apps.
A major difference is that Ethereum put its code called "smart contracts" on to the blockchain and NEM uses code off the blockchain.
So i think ETHis superior to NEM

If ETH will release plasma or anything against scaling network then ETH to moon, but today, IMHO, NEM security and technical advanteges more than in ETH

Both are digital currencies both are good in investment for long term. NEM is almost the same as ethereum, but it didn't had a success development.Digital currencies are focused on ERC20 token.

But I would choose the one that is popular now, well if NEM would make a big difference in the future then for sure buying now
could really help you to be more successful since the price is pretty low compared to the price of ETH.
You know what you are doing and make sure you study well to make a right decision.

They are all good. No need to compare!

Hello everyone.

I wonder why the Venezuelan Government changed -at the last minute- the pre-sale of its cryptocurrency Petro from the Ethereum network to NEM ?. Maybe it would be because NEM allows this pre-sale to be totally private, but not Ethereum??  I don't know if this is so.

They are 38.2 million Petros for presale. Its price should be about $ 60 - 70, although, as I understand, in the pre-sale are giving a strong discount.

Regards,

Ill never trust people who are so emotional and who have so aggressive position without any reason! You have choose don't buy ETH also I don't understand such kind of people who can buy all they want and make business how they want but they choose abusive ways.

I choose ETH because a good cryptocurrency is not built in an instant, even if they offer interesting or good things, the users themselves are spelled out intelligently we need proof instead of promise.

Yes NEm having high potentiality but lack of support in the network . See latest example Dimcoin exchanges are getting difficult ot integrate NEM mosaics ( Tokens) in their exchanges . NEM is a strong platform but lacking its support and ease of USE like web wallet for users atleast .
I thing neo is better alternative for nem.

Haha, this must be a joke? You can not be serious thinking that NEM will replace Ethereum. If any coin will replace it, then EOS is the closest one to achieve that in my opinion.

Nem
Building a great ecosystem (public chain, private chains, catapult release, comsa...)

Many people blame NEM for weak marketing.
But I really like the way it is organized.
It's about
spreading knowledge,
creating usecases,
holding lots of meetings,
hackathons.
Building blockchain centers around the world.
Creating an API and teaching to adopt it.
Participating in profile conferences.
Having partnership this governments.
NOT forking after hacker's attack and reacting the best way possible (IMHO)

Usecases, projects are the best indicator.
I might be wrong, but i think there many surprises hiding behind NDAs
*Catapult is being tested in Mijin, by the way

Both are nice, so why compare if you can own both .... :-\

I think the marketing is impressive, its just not done online, its all one to one meetings and discussions at our meetups held globally.

I cant think of a single project that is doing regular (official) meetups in my town, let alone my country!

Agreed on that. Plus that NEM has better transaction fees and times per second. Which makes it much better than Ethereum, specially when Ethereum will moon again!
That's usually when transaction fees go up.

Absolutely agree

I agree that NEM has gone up a lot, but nothing compared the increase in ETH's price.

I'm not an expert, but perhaps NEM has an edge in Asia?

I'm thankful for NEM profits, but it was more of a TA / FA move, not a belief it was an ETH killer.

)))
NEM has made more than 16000x (counting from 2$) and more than 2000x (counting from 0.4$) !!! for 2 years
