NXT vs BitsharesX

[Hollowman338]

BitsharesX is next BitBay

I didn't follow Bitbay.  Is that a good or bad thing?

Seeing as how all of the topics regarding bitbay here on BCT are going down in flames as well as the trading price on bittrex/BTER, I'd say it isn't a good comparison.

Very good thing

IMO NXT is aimed more at the cyptocurrency community, with the new Monetary System designed to allow altcoins to be built on top of NXT quite easily.

Bitshares is aimed more at the world outside of the crypto community with support for the digital dollar and other pegged currencies.

Nxt wants to be all things for all people. It has a lot of features aimed at business, including a free marketplace and an asset exchange. Those things have been live for months and there are businesses using them. The Monetary System isn't live yet. It too is partially aimed at businesses. You can use it for crowd-sourcing capital and for gift-token type things.

Bitshares looks like smoke and mirrors to me, but the part that seems most interesting is its willingness to engage with regulators. I think eventually 2.0 crypto-currencies will need provision to conform to money laundering laws, eg with assets that can only be bought by accounts with a certified real-world identity.

Why make this distinction at all? It's not really a valid one.
If the crypto community has any future, it will be by merging into commerce anyway, so this point is rather moot in the long term.

Also, the MS is nót aimed at creating alt-coins at all. It's aimed at creating tokens that have many other uses beyond being "coins", just as the Asset Exchange is not aimed at creating "shares", but rather at creating easily trading tokens of another kind.

Don't mistake the label for the substance.

This is the feeling I get after hanging around in both communities and witnessing the various developmental and community attitudes.

Sure the NXT MS has many more features than just that, in the same way that bitshares has many more features than just bitUSD.
