This is not about NXT this is all about NEM. When we compare the price of NEM to NXT or to BTC that doesn't mean comparing the technologies but more like speculating the future market cap of NEM in terms of NXT and BTC. The main reason we would have to fall into comparing NEM price to NXT is that we are still stuck with NXT Asset Exchange "NXT AE" for trading NEMstakes. This phase will be over pretty soon "probably in few days". Once NEM will be freed from the NXT world and gets traded directly to BTC in the exchange sites it would them jump into a totally new stage/value.
Yes you should expect NEM to be traded for a value higher than 0.0000125 BTC by the launch date or few months later. The main point here is trying to evaluate the real value of NEM. This is to be determined by how it will grow after launch. There is high potential that NEM community will grow much faster than any other crypto currency at least in the first year. So fasten your seat belt and get ready for an exciting ride.
Remember that the majority of NEM adaptors right after launch will be more like miners type of investors. We haven't seen any of that kind of share holders yet. For that particular reason NEM is expected to sky rocket on the launch date, cause PoI will be fun to try/taste. From that perspective NEM will indeed reach 0.0000125 in few days after launch. The question actually how it would be able to sustain at that level. It will probably all come to how fun PoI will be
. PoI on its own forces the harvesters/miners to become good citizens in the economy. The obvious would be trying to buying, selling and trading stuff for NEMs to gain higher importance level hense the economy will move from day one and that will out stand any other crypto currency rush you've ever seen.
Remember to stay CALM
