NXT is more like the Linux of crypto.
Odd comparison to make as linux has
extensive adoption, acceptance and development support from many large private companies. "Linux" is found within most consumer devices these days in one form or another.
And just how much adoption did Linux have 18 months after its launch, back in 1993/1994 ?
The answer is: pretty much f**k-all, apart from an annoyingly vocal group of open-source nerds who were claiming to have the best OS evah!
Sound familiar......?
Never forget, we are still a very, very long way from having a mature crypto-currency ecosystem and economy, so a lot of interesting stuff can (and will) happen over the next 5-10 years.
