Since investing into NXT I always knew the distribution could hinder it from being successful. I actually noted down that on the 28th of December, the top 27 holders owned 10+ million NXT but now, 2 weeks later, 23 holders possess 10+ mil. This number turns to 20 if the limit was 10.008 mil (

This, in my eyes anyway, shows that the 'big fish' are beginning to distribute their stashes pretty well, without crashing the price (which could easily happen in such a low liquid market - the risk of this will be reduced when NXT is traded on more exchanges). I also think that the price boom was heavily due to a massive excess of demand and little supply at the time (buyers buying with extra money from Holidays, sellers taking time off from trading) and when the sellers returned, of course they're gonna sell some of their coinage at these new highs and prevent it from going up way too much. I think that the current prices make it more attractive for investors as they are able to invest into NXT without paying silly prices.
Anyways, you have to bare in mind how new this crypto is, I mean it was only 'officially' launched a week ago. At how things are currently going, I have no regrets in my investment and am eagerly waiting to see how things unfold.
