Calling all #NEM nodes! v0.6.100 is here!

This client upgrade introduces NEM's Harlock hard fork at block height 3,481,580. This is considered a mandatory upgrade for all operators.

https://twitter.com/NEMofficial/status/1456609275610996749

Today, we're announcing the Harlock hardfork for #NEM - allowing nodes to explicitly signal their support for #NEM to be a subChain of #Symbol.

All node operators are encouraged to carefully review the philosophy and links laid out within this document.

Should they support this future direction, signaling is as easy as upgrading your node to v0.6.98.

XEMUSDT perpetual contracts with up to 25x leverage.

That's a risky bet, there's a good chance of getting squeezed.

A little over a week and Symbol launches.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/symbol/

I will hodl both XEM and XYM. Selling XEM or XYM post snapshot is shortsighted.

NIS1 will be actively developed.
https://nem.io/join-us/

NIS1 will be open source. Coinbase listing is imminent.
https://www.coinbase.com/price/nem

The main benefit of holding is the passive income.
+delegated harvesting
+earn staking rewards with stakedXEM
+earn 5% roi with a supernode
+watching the marketcaps expand

After the snapshot XEM price will correct, the ones here for the freebie will be very eager to sell.
I don't think we will return to the 2019-2020 price levels. Those days of 5 cent xemmies are gone.
Overall the XYM airdrop will grow our community and bring awareness to NEM.

It's just HODL and simple physics.

Congratulations NEM.

3,000,000 blocks!

Runs like clockwork.
Secure. Approaching 6 years with no hacks.
NEM 1.0 is rock-solid and not going away anytime soon.

XYM is the new kid on the block.
Some will sell-off their XEM after the snapshot.
Use the buying opportunity to scoop up discounted XEM.

Hybrid uses are down the road.
