please dont pay too much attention to 1 nxt price now,
we're just getting started and the way nxt created and works, its possible to keep the price relatively stable.
so we're mostly safe from those who want pump and dump scheme. If there's ppl pumping pumping it way out of line, whales (stakeholders) could release more nxt to the market so price would stabilize, either its going up slowly (more ppl can jump into nxt wagon without worrying its too late) or going down slowly (again more ppl can jump into nxt wagon at low prices), at least, until nxt heavily distributed and used and whales losing its power to driving the market, by then, we will see Nxt become a true currency and beyond your wildest imagination (hint: cryptoplatform).
