There is nothing 'better and cheaper'.
Yes, there is.
Certainly better. And so much cheaper, which in investors' minds translates to
undervalued. A seasoned investor like a hungry wolf is looking for undervalued technologies.
Here is what a seasoned investor thinks like:
There is a technology A and technology B.
Technology A is limited to 1-2 functions.
Technology B can perform 4-5 functions including those Technology A can do and promises to deliver even more in the near future.
Technology A is 100x more expensive to invest in than Technology B.
The choice is obvious. There is a contrarian approach in investing - investing in what masses don't invest in. Investing in Bitcoin was contrarian investing in 2011-2013. But it's now got to the point where investing into Bitcoin is no longer contrarian investing. It's become mainstream for private investors who are technologically savvy, they are looking for more advanced and undervalued technologies.
Bitcoin is Technology A.
NXT is Technology B.
Technologically unsavvy investors will either: a) never invest into cryptos (which is most likely) or b) skip right to Technology B or C, should Technology C appear on the horizon.
