i think a lot of people are getting out, because they don't trust the devs to act in their interest. it started with api changes, not engaging in discussion (e.g. asset/asset trading or smart contracts) and now 2.0.
2.0 could be great, it will be a platform for businesses to run their private chains. it could play out nicely and everyone holding nxt might get paid big time.
for me personally the point i started selling my nxt was when at least 10 people (including coinimal and coinomat aka businesses using nxt today) on the forum were asking for asset/asset trading to be implemented. this move could have improved things by adding btc liquidity. you could literally not even get a stance on the matter from the dev team and with 2.0 its clear that they are aiming higher. its ambitious and bolt to screw with the eco system like that. the main issue i see with it is, and its i think another reason the price is tanking, is that there is so much uncertainty that nobody in their right mind will use nxt until 2.0 is released and working. this is only going to get worse after the snapshot, which currently seems it will be taken soon:
https://nxtportal.org/polls/12536280419851201672 its costing people money and its the devs fault, by failing to set the tone for major changes like 2.0. maybe their way of setting the tone was making unnecessary API changes for people not to get too comfortable and stop building things. they actually never formulated any vision other than dropping hints that they might not follow the bcnext roadmap.
the far better choice would have been to make a new coin (i know *yawn*). i ask myself why they opted to make this with nxt and the only reason i can come up with is that they sit on a huge stack of nxt themselves and they want to make it worth something by any means.
i do want a few fnxt tho, so i will hold some nxt on the snapshot date. price wise its probably going to go down until a date for the snapshot is known and approaching. its good for anyone new wanting to get in. just dont hope for a quick buck.
turned out to be a bit of a rant, sry
