As our launch draws near I think it's important to take a moment and think about what really matters and what we are trying to do with NEM. In order to do this I'd like to share a quote from an article I very much agree with:

Quote

The emphasis on beating others to the market just seems silly and misguided. When youre shopping for a new mouse, do you search for the first laser mouse or the best one? Do you care who built and sold the first set of Bluetooth headphones? When it comes to personal electronics, no good idea is left uncopied and, before long, everything good that might once have been unique becomes a matter of choice for the consumer. So even if youre first to reach a new technological breakthrough, your window for enjoying that lead will be brief.

When Apple cites numbers, one of its favorite data points to bring up is user satisfaction, which is close to 100 percent for all of its products. Thats in spite of the company rarely being the first to do anything. Just take HTC as an example: it had an aluminum unibody phone, a 7-inch aluminum tablet, a plus-sized smartphone, and the Beats brand all before Apple did. Apples just doing all these things a little bit better and profiting from it.

Quality matters more than speed. That is especially true in a tech industry where speed advantages perish almost as soon as they appear. Id love to see the new MacBook legitimately overshadowed by a better competitor. With Windows 10 on the horizon, thats a real possibility. But as of today, Apples best competitors seem lost chasing their spec tails and neglecting what matters. Beat the Macs experience, not its numbers.

Whatever you may think of Apple and their strategy, I think we can both agree that the above principle is what matters in the end. Now, we're not apple, but we are aiming for something different than scam and pump and dump, at least this much should be clear after more than one year of hard work.

And Regular customers and avarage joes are those that can turn cryptos into real gold mine Cheesy

Great analogy, except comparing NEM to Apple is like comparing diarrhoea to gold.
