Looks like trust is not fully back in NEM or the hacker managed to dump more coins yesterday and today.

I'm still full bull on NEM, but this long price slump is hard on everybody.
How many NEM was held by this hacker?
If he can easily dump it to lower the price so much, how can NEM recover when people are worried about future dump all the time?

Over 500 million. The last time I saw a figure he still had over 220 million.

The hacker stole 10% of the entire XEM supply which was worth about $500,000,000 at the time.  He has only managed to sell about 40% so this is going to be a problem for a very long time.  You can see the effect of the past hacks playing out right now in Bitcoin (Mt. Gox trustee still has 160,000 to sell).  It isn't that much vs. the entire market especially over time but in a bear market that is all the news needed to panic sell.  Although I would argue that BTC is being driven down in price by a very big player with a very big short.  If one watches GDAX order book it is very clear there is an endless sell bot the bulls have been trying to buy in the 8-10K range for the last 1.5 weeks but they simply don't have enough money for him anymore.  So we're probably going down.  Isn't really a bear market but an asshole market right now.

@Hyjinx - Lots of people dumped. Not the Tokyo Whale. But it does look like the dump is mostly over.


I thought the dump was mostly over?  What happened?

The hacker has a site on the dark web where one can purchase stolen XEM for a discount. People are buying it up.
I don't know exactly how much has been sold this way, but it is likely more than half. Maybe even 3/4 of it. It is very hard to trace, because it is transfered so many times into so many different accounts.
I wish there was a NEM block explorer with the tree-type diagram to make tracking easier. As it is now on http://explorer.ournem.com, I can click through address to next address countless times, and seem to never find the bottom.

In the past 2 days, there were a few very large dumps, and at odd timing. The largest candle on tradingview's 1-min NEM scale shows a sale at 3-17-18, 4:40AM. This looks unusual, as it's such a huge volume it would have to be a whale sale. It doesn't make sense to me for an investor with that large of a bag to dump at that time.

There's likely a lot of people with too much FUD dumping as well. They see the price dropping, and dump their bags as well.
A 10% increase in market supply shouldn't cut the value of XEM by 1000%. Especially with so many great things knocking on our door.

@jelin1984 - It is not NEM foundations role or responsibility to babysit anyone's wallet. Lon Wong himself even says they are focused on developing the best blockchain we can use now, and improving it for the future - and are not focused on market valuation. This is good. They are software guys, not dictators controlling markets, babysitters watching wallets, police catching crooks.
The security of NEM blockchain is rock solid. It is the exchanges that need to improve their security. (and they are)

Anyway, how about some positive news!

1. In the most recent US Economic Report, Cryptocurrencies added an entire new chapter! And IMO, it is overall very positive! - Basically acknowledging cryptocurrency as technological advancement, with characteristics similar to the internet in the 90s. The report encourages a flourishing crypto economy, as well as cautions about scammy ICOs. Read a news article about it here. Or read The Economic Report for yourself (or maybe just the chapter on crypto)
2. I don't know this author, but I think it's a fair enough assessment. He speculates that NEM valuation will increase to 80 cents this year. I think it will be more, but you can read his take here: Read here.
3. The first Bitcoin Lightening network is in beta testing! - That is very positive for anyone invested in, or using ANY crypto.
4. Trump tax breaks helps us US citizens keep more of our profits. His economic advisor supports even more tax breaks for capital gains - such as crypto investing. Read here. There are also others close to Trump who are supportive of crypto as well. Say what you want about the current administration, but I don't think we have to worry about a crackdown coming from the highest seat. (except maybe on Venezuela's new Petro coin)

edit/ to address the troll, hyjinx.
The Tokyo Whale's bitcoin dump IS over for now. He is likely to arrange an OTC sale after September court proceedings. BTC price has actually gone up since your last bit of blathering. Price staying right around $8k. Market has gone bearish now with all the FUD news, tho. Hard to tell what happens next.

We released a BaaS which can use NEM
http://techfund.io/

NEM can be handled easily with API, but you can leave it to us, such as setting up a test net's node.
Please try it and give me comments!

Total was 523 million XEM or 5.8% of total supply not 10%.

This article states around half have been sold for other coins.  But doesn't mean they were sold on exchanges.

Interesting is that Coincheck will drop privacy coins from their exchange, Monero, Dash, and Zcash.  Will others follow?

Apparently the Tokyo Whale hasn't sold any BTC since January. It's been other whales dumping.
He also denies that his previous sales affects market price. - However, I don't know why he thinks that it wouldn't - unless they were done OTC. But still, if someone bought OTC, then dumped - it would have the same effect.
Read about it here.

Interesting news nonetheless. Hopefully it helps quench some of the FUD.

Realisitically that's more than 10% of what's circulating. Supernodes, developer and foundation funds must be several billion.

I am reading here that the stolen coins have been tagged. How does that work exactly from a technical point of view? How would you track them all when they start to move around?

Not the coins, but the accounts hosting them. They were tagged by sending a mosaic to them. However the hacker was too quick and it got away from them.

It was also the sole coin in the green a few days back because of the Coincheck refund. Swings and roundabouts, innit.

Oh, I joined this club Sept. of 2017.  Was in and out of it - missed the bull run because I was mainly in BTC.  Thought $0.55 was a fair price given recent history but GOD DAMN!  I've already been burned by this thing before but wow.  So sad because it probably is one of the best projects in all of crypto but they just cannot catch a sustainable break - like ever.  But as I've been explaining here I don't think the management is so hot.

The same situation at the club is a long time ago, and I still believe in the expensive price of this coin.
