Too many words..

These are the ones that count:
Quote
Aside from the obvious caveat that there could be as of yet uncovered critical mistakes in the software, there are stakeholders out there who presently own more than 50 million out of the total 1billion coins issued. This means there are multiple individuals who individually own more than 5% of the total stake each. To put it bluntly, this is unacceptable. This is not the level of decentralization we have come to expect from a decentralized crypto. For NXT to be successful this must change

It is a good article. Many valid points.
As for how to fix the hoarding of the initial funds, maybe a few of the big holders can start 1 mil nxt lotteries.

Also for those interested. This is a great service to get the big picture of what is happening with nxt. : http://87.230.14.1/nxt/nxt.cgi?action=30
If you haven't donated to that guy you should.

Disclosure: I own 9k nxt :-)~

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

utf_tg, you do everyone a disservice by dismissing most of the content of the article. While yours is a valid (and temporary, I hope) concern, people should read the article for themselves to gain an appreciation of the game-changing innovations behind by Nxt. In the spirit of balanced perspectives, I leave you with Anon136's final remarks from the article:

Quote
I am not prepared to give investment advice; however, I am prepared to tell you that if you ignore the ideas behind NXT, then you do so at risk. Even if this particular implementation of these great ideas fails, the ideas themselves are here to stay, and they are going to fundamentally alter the crypto-currency landscape forever.

Sounds like you may have missed a few things in your first reading. I suggest you go back and read it again with a little more thought to what it says. Nxt is still in its infancy, it hasn't had the time or the means to gain widespread distribution. Decentralization will improve as more buyers enter the market and the large stakeholders sell to them. As Anon136 pointed out, it's in their best interests to do so. How you weigh risk is your own concern, but I suggest it is equally risky to dismiss Nxt out-of-hand at this stage. It might be wise to hold off from going all-in for now, but a small investment as a hedge against your bitcoin position might be a very smart move.

Full disclosure: I'm not a founding stakeholder, but I've put my money where my mouth is and I have a vested interest in seeing Nxt succeed.

It's not my article by the way, just found it. But I think NXT will be great in the future, and not only as a coin, but as a system.
