Looks like it's time to get in NXT. Isn't it dead yet? And if not, why not? Far from it. http://nxter.org/supernet-newsletter-16/. Extreme amount of talented developers joining. 540+ slack members now from many different circles across crypto. Also, nearing release of first decentralized exchange, with a flat trading fee of a few cents: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.twimg.com%2Fmedia%2FCChH2ZQXIAATrh0.png&t=665&c=NTogLHErhI9oGQ) Hint: Supernet is NXT 2.0

Just answering questions. And that esma notice was littered with NXT references - the accuracy of the info was oddly quite high, like someone has been doing their homework.

NXT's troubles are compounded atop the Bitcoin chart, relatively speaking, as the NXT/BTC shows. yet Bitcoin is still, in the big pic, still way up from where it started back in 2009. otoh, NXT is below where it started off in USD terms. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FLk3jgra.png&t=665&c=KC-uktCZNFsW8Q)

I don't believe that would be the same if you include the $ value of all the assets listed on the platform. The nxt token is not the most important aspect of the system, it is simply a mechanism of which to pay for access to features on the system. You are looking at the wrong metrics. Getting into to nxt doesn't necxasarily mean to buy the Nxt token. In fact many are unable to hang in to the token as they find better uses for them, within the ecosystem, which is part of the reason the price is lower.

Very nice. You pump the nxt token one moment, the when you get called out on it you immediately change stories as if nobody will notice.

I am mostly ever only talking about supernet, just so happens nxt is a vital and core component and the two are pretty much becoming one in the same. Nxt doing its job as a platform is what allowed for Supernet's existence, and will allow for many more things to come.

Again by that I mean the ecosystem not neccasarily the token itself. There are many different ways to accomplish that. Your comparing nxt to bitcoin when they are not at all the same thing. Nxt is the use of blockchain technology to create decentralized applications. Bitcoin is a currency and sov. Very different. Thanks to Supernet we will be able to use Bitcoin ON the nxt platform, weaving the best of both worlds.

Does anyone see the connection between Mt.Gox and the western banking system?
Your balances in the bank are soon only nominally same thing as cash in hand. They never were quite the same, but as convertibility is severed, the price will also diverge.
I see the connection. But I also see a difference: with mtGox, when it became clear the risk was substantial, trading sites popped up that allowed trading of the goxBTC IOUs vs. real BTC. That's probably not going to happen with traditional bank deposits.

That's probably not going to happen with traditional bank deposits. Why? That happened in Cyprus (and still does afaik). Bank accounts were frozen and later mercilessly cut, and withdraw limits put into place. Of course they trade at a discount to "real money" (euros LOL ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) ) When it happens unionwide, then of course cash reserves are so low as to be insufficient for the economy. Also it's unlikely that cash will be trusted either, since the CB is the enemy of the people, and they have declared war on cash as well. The bolsheviks managed to stall at max 98% of the production in Russia with their insane policies combined with ruthless terror. Let's see how the current EU do it, better eat well in preparation ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

If any hard trade-off actually does arise in Bitcoin, it will simply fork into two, with all holders having the same amount of coins in each. If, for example as the article suggests, there ever turns out to be a hard trade-off between scalability and Bitcoin's core property of "unimpeachability of transactions," we will have BitcoinScalable (not completely censorship resistant) and BitcoinClassic (absolutely untouchable money, but not shopper's paradise - other things like maybe OT will be necessary for more trivial transactions). I don't see any need to worry. Once any such trade-offs encounter Fork Arbitrage (FA) on the market, the path will be clear enough. If both survive and have value, it really was a hard trade-off and there will be two. Governments can at most control one, never both.

I don't think 64 GB of storage is gonna cut it. Long term, pruning. Full nodes needs all blockchain on disk. No place for "pruning". Did you see the latest commit on pruning? Allows you to specify max disk usage and it prunes old blocks.. validates by reindexing which downloads all chain then prunes. You check it out? I wonder what the point is if youhave todownload the full chain anyway why prune? The main bottleneck is the lenghty sync time not storage space. I also noticed that it has logic to stop sending blocks requested that have been pruned. So there is assumption that there are full nodes out there to give you the block that others have pruned.
