Even if it promised you great things? How long can a crypto survive being closed source? Is it recommended? Can it be compatible with the 'culture' of crypto today? Answers on a postcard  |

Closed source and crypto in one sentence... lol.
Don't ever ever trust a crypto if it's closed source.

I brought some Qora when it was closed source because the dev said it would eventually be open sourced. I would not buy one that would always be closed source.

No, but Nxt isn't asking anyone to blindly install the dev branch on their computers. |

How can you trust a closed source crypto? Perhaps for short term trading but never long term investments..
Part of the main reason bitcoin was developed is because of a lack of trust in closed currencies controlled and influenced by unknown entities.
It defeats the whole purpose

Absolutely. If the market conditions are right you will make a profit like any other coin.

Yes , if its enough cheap , I can buy and sell high.
But , if you ask to keep them, then it depends on devs and community.
Specifically, if youre asking for NEM , Ill keep them in my wallet.

Answers on a postcard Your promises would not really get me excited unless you had a track record of awesomeness which unfortunately you don't, that goes for anyone else who is pushing closed source out there.. BUT... If it was closed source and was vetted by a trusted member of the community and it was promised to be open source in the end and the trusted community member gives it a thumbs up then i would buy a lot of the coin before it became open but that would be a gamble and is not recommended. |

Yes if it's promising, sometimes it's even better to wait before open sourcing the project so that it will be rare and catches on.

Are you hinting at 3000% gains for early NXT investors?
