NEM does seem to have some great features but the attention span in the crypto world is really short so there needs to be something that will really draw people to NEM. It used to be just an anonymous marketplace or built in chat could draw people in but that's not really the case anymore.
Precisely. It is the features that are important for NEM. In the end, NEM is not about mining or speculating the value of the coin in the market. NEM is about an ecosystem and a platform where commerce, trade and finance should sit on.
That's what NEM is all about.
NEM, although is part of the crypto world, has a different agenda. It is developed to appeal to the rest of the 7 billion people rather than the 6 million people in the crypto world.
NEM is a movement of like minded people who'd want to make it work for the general masses.
NEM can never be a ponzi scheme. All its coins are distributed quite evenly. No one will stand to benefit.
In summary, NEM is a solution platform that changes the way we do commerce, trade and finance by way of using the bitcoin technology as the core engine and a fuel to power the financial ecosystem. NEM is the fuel and the block chain is the bitcoin technology.
