Trying to get banks and governments on board with this attitude (an attitude that's rampant in the NXT community) will get you absolutely nowhere.

That's the reason the OP is "dumping NXT and why you should too".

I think NXT is great as an anonymous crypto, but it cannot be the world's currency. One of the key foundation stones of government (as well as maintaining your borders, keeping law and order and collecting taxes, etc.) is the ability to control your own currency. A bunch of libertarian (lite) guys on the internet who have no territory and no influence aren't going to just come along and tell governments that they know better and that governments should listen to them and that governments should give up their sovereignty to a bunch of libertarian (lite) guys on the internet. Techies might be smart, but they don't always know better.

Ripple are demonstrating their technology to governments and banks and are showing them how cryptocurrency can make business more efficient and can make life better for citizens. This is hard to do when there's Bitcoin and Dodgecoin and NXT and all these other drug/libertarian nutters constantly in the news (for all the wrong reasons) pumping their crypto coin; nullifying the efforts of Ripple in championing the idea of legitimate crypto currency.

It's at the stage now where Ripple Labs need to remove themselves from these public lists (such as coinmarketcap.com and coingecko.com) because it makes out that XRP could be compared to Bitcoin and all the baggage that goes with the toxic Bitcoin brand.

@Eamorr:
I need to point out that you are replying to a massively ancient thread. NWO (the OP) started this in Jan 2014, a few weeks after NXTs launch.
Hopefully, he'll have finished his 50,000 NXT dump by now.

Also: Ripple isn't really a crypto-currency..........so removal from CMC sounds like a good idea.

You seem to be missing a very large aspect of Nxt: it's not just a crypto-currency, but a complete platform for crypto-based finance. The ultimate aim of Nxt is not to have the NXT currency at #1 on CMC (though that would be nice) but to provide people with a genuinely usable alternative to the current financial system.
Just like Bitcoin, in fact, but Nxt provides users with more features/tools than just the basic store/transfer functionality of BTC.

@inBitweTrust:

Having spent some time going thru the Jeff Garzik critique of NXT (and the replies from the NXT community), the only genuinely valid point of Jeffs criticism was to do with the development process for NXT code.
Right now we only have one dev team contributing to NXT core protocols and main client, Jeffs point was that in order to be truly de-centralised NXT needs to have multiple independent teams contributing to the core, as per open-source ideals. Cant argue with that and it would be a good thing. However, NXT is still evolving. Given another year or two, and we probably will have multiple dev teams on the core development process.

Pretty much all of the rest of Jeffs points didn't stand up to scrutiny, most being based on Jeffs opinion, rather than any verifiable facts..

The OP, NWO (I can only assume NWO stands for "New World Order"), is a nutter. Every time you talk to someone plugging NXT, you soon find out that there's a high probability they have a store of beans and ammo, believe 9-11 was an inside job and hate all forms of government.

This mindset is deeply embedded into the NXT community. Even a fork would never rid the project of this mentality.
