Has Symbol XYM been released yet and how does one buy if it isn't listed on CoinGecko
The Symbol main net has yet been released. Check their Twitter for the newest update.
NEM has been established for years and has a high ranking on CMC, Symbol on the other hand could be a newer faster chain version of NEM but be in the lower ranks due to starting off new with a lower marketcap.
After Symbol been released is it better to put your money into NEM or Symbol or none?
Symbol is a new product that will combine with NEM to expand the ecosystem around the NEM foundation. They are here to support each other for the general growth of the original project. Symbol is not launched to kill NEM.
it is normal that before an airdrop a huge amount f that coin is going to be purchased and after the snapshot is completed the price will crash and then starts to recover a little bit
XEM has been around a while now and i don't think that it is a scam ! I’m pretty sure we’ll see another price correction but I don’t feel 100% people are going to buy the dip.
The price was halved because the airdrop ratio is 1:1 and people believe that the reasonable price should be around half of price before the snapshot for airdrop. It sounds a reasonable thought but who knows what is the right value for XEM, that can be 2x, 5x or 1/2, 1/5 from today price.
