I wonder whether this rise will influence their decision as to whether to allow withdrawals. Their vow to keep a lid on Bitcoin's exuberance certainly had the adverse effect.

We would never have reached this position with China still in charge. They would've dumped into oblivion in the late hundreds and continued while everyone else cowered at their mighty fake numbers.

Perhaps the PBOC should be sent a nice card from us.

So that's true? I'm slightly disappointed if all you need to get on there is cough up. But if that is the case then that's certainly one of the best uses of funds so far. It's got to get out of the current ghetto it's in for Westerners at least.

Plenty of people have. I've seen mentions of having to pay to be listed, but I really can't believe somewhere like Kraken would pull that.

The only other thing it can do is stay near the top of the charts for long enough. Ripple is being added to BFX and Kraken. They won't ignore demand for too long.

It if slides back down again then I think being added will fade away. Peaking briefly isn't good enough. It has to stake its claim and remain there.

I think my prediction for this year's peak was $263, when the price was $250 or so. It's always classier to understate things, but perhaps not quite by that extent.

Not enough people are taking Japan into account. The laws regarding crypto only recently passed there and there are some very legitimate options coming in terms of exchanges.

I'm not completely sure which coins are or are not fully approved, but it seems that they've gone a bit batty for Ripple at least. Japan could ruin any plans for crashes for quite a while.

$5 in two years isn't inconceivable, but of course unlikely. At the same time an insane amount could happen between now and then in this space. I think Japan is going to blow up in a way we haven't seen before and they don't seem to be going for the usual alts.

Anyway, here's the post


A lot of us are caught positively surprised at the meteoric rise of the value of XEM. My original plan to make it a 20c coin by the time I leave office before 2019 seems to have been surpassed. It appears that at this rate, seeing the value of XEM rise to $1 by the end of summer is not a dream anymore.

We have serious funds to run a professional enterprise and we are working hard at compressed time to make this happen. My new target shifts to $5/xem by the time I leave office.

Wish us luck. 😊

Lon Wong has set a target for $5 XEM by 2019. That seems rather ambitious but he's rather more qualified to declare it than I am.

Try these instead? More official talk seems to happen on Nemberia.

In fact your post is being discussed on there right now.

I would say you'll get the quickest answer on here. Lon Wong, who is the head the NEM foundation, turns up on there along with the developers.



You would've had to have obtained a few stakes to be a multimillionaire but the day might be coming.

Anyone sensible would've sold very little and bought a few more. There's a lesson to be learnt reading about Bitcoin holders throwing it all way in 2010/11. This is no different.

That's a necessary step.

It needs to be on more exchanges. It's still stuck in the same alt trading niche as some utter shitcoins even though it's now top 5. Japan has a fiat trading pair but nothing in the West yet.

ETH is sucking up everyone's money.

Does anyone have any ideas to help this poor bugger? His XEM went back to the Nemesis account.

It's a staggering amount of money indeed, but you could argue that exclusivity serves a purpose. Someone with 3 million is either old school or a true believer if they've bought in.

For the super nodes the last thing you want is people flitting in and out. They're designed to be the backbone of the whole thing run by people with a deep commitment.

This is an article written at the height of fork panic. Also the stupid bitch who wrote it sold all his coins in the expectation of a contentious fork. Won't happen.

And now it's a considerably more advanced fork.

I can get the dislike of Ripple. It shouldn't be anywhere near any crypto market, but what did LTC ever do to you?

Where and how? It doesn't look possible to me.

What happened?
