I am under the impression that nxt has gotten much more done in its first year of development than most if not all other cryptos and will continue to do so.
bitcoin got a head start and got the ball rolling, but it is possible for better systems to exist.

No argument there. Nxt is certainly better than many shitcoins and scamcoins, but that not the context of the discussion now is it?

You are completely avoiding the fact that their are many ways to gather metrics as to NxT's falling marketshare within the crypto ecosystem as I have just shown. Even brand new coins like Stellar and Paycoin are ousting NxT when studying metrics other than market cap.

It is because I am relaxed about it.

Let's see... from memory

Peercoin, Darkcoin, Counterparty, Banxshares?, Mastercoin, Blackcoin, Monero, Auroracoin and probably many others have all "ousted" Nxt in the last year. Where are they now? Just because the frequency is picking up doesn't change anything.

Nxt has shown it has staying power through solid devs, regular stable releases, innovative features and a large community. It is still early days.

Perhaps you should do your alexa analysis at regular intervals to see the change over time, then it would be more meaningful. Your links show nxt.org has climbed from position 630,000 to its current position of 450,000 in the last 3 months. The same is true for nxtforum.org, it has gone from ranked at 310,000 to 197,000 in the last 3 months.

Add in the blockchain data about increasing adoption and use from here...

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_charts

I 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 Grin

I have noticed a couple of guys pushing this "Nxt is dying" vibe over the last day or so. Undecided

. The facts are that people like Nxt and people use it. The blockchain data and the standard 100+ people online at nxtforum.org supports this. Open your eyes Grin

And it quite hard to make the characterisation your are attempting to make stick. Nxt is on the up, even in a very bear market. Those that try Nxt, like it. This shows adoption and use are increasing (at an ever increasing rate).

Now you are just rehashing irrelevant points. Yes, I have already stated that our whole ecosystem is growing which of course means that despite NxT losing marketshare within it it is still growing along with everything else(including the scam coins), thus one would expect wallets to increase, transactions to increase, and pageviews to increase.

Please stay on subject. NxT is losing marketshare within the crypto ecosystem and being pushed aside in favor of different options. This is likely going to continue to escalate.

I.E.... Ethereum when lauched will certainly overtake NxT and Counterparty may surpass NxT this year as well with its backing from Overstock. Other contenders to watch out for are Storj, maidsafe, and factom.
