NXT is simply the Linux of crypto: complicated, powerful, de-centralised, completely open and somewhat controversial.
If NXT critics would prefer to give their hard-earned cash to a more corporate/centralised project, there are plenty to choose from.
Damn accurate analogy. Several years ago, I was forced to try an old beat up. scratched to hell Ubuntu coz windoze permacrashed (imagine that). Since then, I have never looked backed. I completely see NXT in the same regard.
Those with the patience to "get" NXT have opportunities that would be considered almost Johnny Mnemonic-like Sci-Fi even as recent as a decade ago. I am definitely all chips in w/NXT [aka AltcoinWarrior on the NXT forum].
