The initial stakeholders don't owe anyone here a goddamn thing. They took the huge risk by buying in early while everyone else called NXT a scam coin. They are under NO obligation to re-distribute the wealth to all those, including me, who missed out because of cynicism or ignorance or whatever. If NXT becomes a huge success, they and they alone deserve to be hugely rewarded for taking that risk. they have every right as free citizens of planet earth to do damn well whatever they please with their windfall.
I'm not sure if you just ran out of psych-meds or if you're sucking up to the big holders, but your statements are insane.
They took a "huge risk" ? 50 dollars for 15 million NXT or so is a "huge risk" ?
*Most* of those who "missed out" was people who didn't see the thread or came too late because BCNext shutdown the IPO hastily.
I have used the arguments you are regurgitating too many times in the last 3 months of marketing and arguing with skeptics, so I know them in and out.
This isn't about big stakeholders handing out NXT to random people, but to FUND marketing, FUND development, FUND incentives for people to give a fuck of NXT's health.
And it's also about fairness. Right now most of the stakeholders are just like the CEOs of Walmart. They take all the money and let people do all the work.
How you can justify the idea that because they invested 50 dollars they have this deep deserving right to be millionaires while those who make NXT worth milliones should get none is baffling.
It sounds like you've seen a 5 minute clip of Milton Friedman and think that this trickledown economy is a law of physics. Insane.
FUNDING is another word for redistribution. For the record I'm pretty liberal, voted for Obama twice and have never read a Friedman tome.
As I said, if one of these shareholders think that funding is a good way to make NXT grow, then they should do that. If they prefer to sit and wait and let everyone else do the work and hope the price rises then that is their right as well. They don't owe you, me or anyone anything.
Some people mined Bitcoin in 2011 and now are Millionaires. Am I totally jelly? Hell yes. I almost mined Bitcoin back then and got frustrated with setting it up and thought it would never take off. I could kick myself, but do I expect the people who didn't give up and mined millions of BTC for pennies apiece to now redistribute that to making BTC better. Hell no. People win lotteries.

Ok, they got lucky then. Who cares? I'm jealous and so obviously are you. If I was them I'd probably spend some time promoting NXT in my own way, behind the scenes without making a big scene about it. I'd be hoping the price goes up and thinking, "could I actually have finally hit the big gravy train"? I wouldn't feel I owed anyone anything though and probably neither would you.

Because that's life. People get lucky. I wish I was one of them and so do you.
Personally I am very glad you didn't get elected to the committee. You strike me as someone who is bitter and expect to get directly compensated BEFORE NXT succeeds for working on the same sorts NXT projects that others are happily volunteering their time to do; you stated as much in your platform which is why I didn't vote for you. You remind me of those Uncles who suddenly appear out of nowhere when a distant relative wins the lottery, expecting to be compensated for sharing a bloodline.
If you had special skills that were desperately needed, believe me you would have been contacted by someone and offered a Salary to work full time. If no one is asking for your help then you can either volunteer or do something that is exceptional and impressive like wesleyh or metctl (math guy, not sure if getting name right) and either many people would donate to you or you'd be offered a salary to work on something.
If that hasn't happened then guess what? You just aren't special enough. Neither am I and that's ok. I can buy NXT like anyone else and do what I can to help, help new users learn how to use it, fund new accounts, tip reddit users, help people troubleshoot problems and spread the word. Should I get paid for this? Hell no. It's just not that special. I'm doing it for my own self interest anyway.
If you want to get compensated, solve the TF problem, write a new client, make a kick ass website , do something unique and special.
Do something like that and people will stand in line to hand you some NXT.
NXT needs volunteers, NXT needs enthusiastic people who are excited to help spread the word. NXT does not need people who see dollar signs in their eyes, expecting everyone to throw NXT at them because they sent an email to an exchange or wrote an article or updated a wiki. The payoffs for those sorts of things come when the price goes up and your investment grows. You may not be an initial stakeholder, but you can still contribute in important ways. Your motivations are exactly the same as the initial stakeholders, to help make NXT succeed. No ones asking for you to take money out of your own pocket though, like you are with them.
