Hi all, with coin about 9 billions, when do u think nem price could go up to 1usd?
When the market cap reaches $8,999,999,999. Then all supernode owners will become multi-millionaires. With one Supernode: Millionaire @ XEM = 0,34$, Multi millionaire @ XEM = 0,67$ You are a NEMillionaire?

Anyone think XEM can hit $1 in the long term? I would love to pick up a couple hundred thousand coins and have it hit a dollar or more.
Long term I think it's conceivable. For that to happen Bitcoin would need to be far bigger than it is now and the rest of the world much more comfortable with blockchain type stuff. NEM's applications are a huge potential market. The technology behind NEM is really powerful compared to Ethereum or any other crypto for that matter, so I feel that in the next 12 months, that we have a high chance if hitting $1 billion, give it 5 or more years and its very possible we could hit $1 per NEM, especially if the $USD crashes NEM was launched in March 2015. Since July 2016, it has been a top 10 crypto and that is without margin trading, Bitcoin whales or dark net market speculation. NEM strength is from adoption in Asia and delivering the best technology. Even CoinDesk released a report and within the report it said NEM was the best growth in 2016. It has only been up for NEM since launch. In 2017, I think NEM will swing up and hit 10 cents or more. Once the critical mass happens, and I think it will occur before 5 years, we'll see more than $1. See up to $10.

I plan on holding my FCT for around 3 years by which time I expect Factom to have made some big deals and have high entry credit usage. If I've learned anything from the past few years its to keep holding longer than feels natural. If you can 'out-hold' the rest of the market on a good investment, you win. This is one of the major reasons its easier to make more money if you already have plenty because you are less emotionally involved, so you can just leave it where it is and keep holding for much longer without feeling anything. This is from someone who is up about x20 from their original investment into crypto a number of years ago. I would have been up more like x100 if I'd kept holding, won't make that mistake again.
In 3 years there will be no Factom. It's already obsolete from Apostille.

I doubt your man on the street has ever heard of Bitcointalk or the constant scams on this forum.
I suspect most of the news people had heard was MtGox stealing a fortune and weird back-alley / coffee shop robberies of Bitcoin sellers. Also the SilkRoad too if I hadn't already mentioned that.
ELI5 version (explain to me like I'm 5): Fat Frenchmen [who is now skinny] steals everyone monies. Bitcoin dangerous. Bitcoin drugs. BITCOIN BAD BAD!

There was a recent article on R3. Almost sounds like they had thrown in the towel - by giving the code away to Hyperledger and emphasizing their network effect. Network effect is Déjà vu for me, as Bitcoin maximalists have been using that arguments against alternates for years. Also I'm not sure if I can buy the idea of 70 companies "working together" on something. Every company has its' own interests and visions and no way could that many companies ever agree on something. Also that many companies working together is guaranteed social loafing. If I run one of these companies, why would I spend any money or assign staff when another company will do it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_loafingSeems a lot of people are buying into the quantity over quality argument.

Short History of Japan and Bitcoin In 2013. Many Bitcoin businesses were located in Japan but ran by expatriates. MtGox was initially created by an American and later sold to a Frenchmen.
2014 - Few Japanese in Japan had ever heard of Bitcoin – even with MtGox in the international news. Most of the people protesting outside of MtGox, in Tokyo, were expatriates.
Legislation and laws on cryptocurrency were a response to something called Mona Coin. Mona Coin was the first alternate in Japan and was more popular than NEM, in Japan, until 2016.
In 2015 – “Indigenous” Japanese people (not expats) started to create their own exchanges and businesses, including Takao Asyama who is affiliated with Mijin / NEM .
In 2016 – the Japanese Blockchain Consortium is founded. The consortium is predominately Japanese but contains a few expatriates in some positions.
In terms of ordinary person adoption - Japan is probably where America was in 2011? In terms of organization - Japan is probably in the top 3. The United States and Switzerland is ahead of Japan. In terms of top-down interest - there seems to be a lot of banks and businesses in Japan looking at Blockchain. I think Japan might be better than USA and Switzerland in that regard.. For top-down ~ NEM already was adopted by a few businesses like Okwave, Tech Bureau, a supermarket chain [Adarara?] and apparently Campfire is next. NEM is otherwise working hard at the moment to be ready for when more Japanese decide to adopt cryptocurrency. For NEM to be ready, this means a good mobile app and having some services available. When the app and services are available, that's when advertisement in Japan will probably increase. From your username and your comments I assume you don't live in the USA. USA is really backwards when it comes to progress for society, people want the 1950s back. USA is not as progressive as the movies might tell you. I sometimes watch commercials from the US of A. Half the Doctor and highly skilled professionals seem to be African-American. The white man is predicted as a bumbling idiot who is outsmarted by the woman and minorities. Does it corroborate with reality? It must - because everything you see on TV is true.
