What do you mean by next bitcoin protocol? I really doubt that any coin/platform can do better than bitcoin(wide adoption already here, big players onboard)
I am personally impressed by NXT from technical perspective - lots of features, written from scratch, great community...the problem is -
it never show a sign of wide adoption, the devs are pushing and pushing for new features but they never do enough for PR and marketing ...maybe it's too late now?
We want to know if NXT is the new bitcoin protocol!
The blockchain data shows ever increasing adoption, I don't think anybody expected Bitcoin levels of transactions after just 1 year. But they are increasing.
https://nxtblocks.info/#section/blockexplorer_chartsI am using May 2014 as that was the launch of the first major feature users could use, Asset Exchange.
Transactions per day has gone up more than ten fold.
May 14: 200 - 500 transactions per day
Jan 15: 5500 - 7000 transactions per day
The growing steepness of the curve in
Cumulative transactions per day shows how transactions are increasing at a faster and faster rate.
With the transactions per day increasing, the
Average transactions per block per day is also rising, which is good for forgers.
May 14: 0.3 - 0.6 transactions per block per day
Jan 15: 8 - 11 transactions per block per day
No crypto shows signs of wide adoption (even Bitcoin). Nxt does show positive, concrete signs of growing adoption and at an ever increasing rate. Something must be going right
