Dying? Based on what? Coin market cap? The network is PoS and tokens change hands much slower than PoW, the network is secure and will remain secure even if things slow down even further. You seem to compare everything to BTC and only that - yes, BTC is ahead, but it doesn't and won't do all the things other platforms are going to do in the future. This won't be a zero sum game.

You don't seem close enough to the NXT ecosystem to realize that things are happening outside of crypto and outside of the purview of this forum. For NXT, it is barely past year 1, calm yourself. The pace is extremely fast and impressive when you really think about it. Where are your "numbers proving death" Huh

Sometimes I wonder, if you (and people like you) weren't invested in BTC and worried about your own investment, would you write the things you write? How much of this is pure self-defense?

I don't own many bitcoins and only started investing in 2013, but of course I am biased towards Bitcoin. I mined Litecoin early on and was a supporter of litecoin/namecoin ... some other alts interest me like primecoin, curecoin, and ethereum. I am not a bitcoin maximalist or die hard PoW proponent. If you read my post history I have advocated for hybrid algo approaches of TaPoS/PoW.

The numbers I speak about do include coin market cap, but also include many other variables like search interest, traffic, and the fierce competition that is coming NxT's direction from other projects. I do agree that NxT has done nicely compared to most alts in such a short amount of time. This isn't going to be good enough when you have thousands of developers working on bitcoin and over 675 million in VC funding backing the development. This is an insurmountable problem Nxt and other cryptocurrencies are facing. I don't believe NXT is going anywhere any time soon, but will continue to slowly capitulate as it has over the last year. Expect some more corporate coins and ethereum to overtake the mindshare above Nxt in the coming 2 years or perhaps some govcoin being introduced. Alts are here to stay but are likely to remain fringe interests with small communities and many popping into existence overtaking older ones.

Paycoin was one of the first corporate coins being foisted upon the ecosystem by a multimillion dollar company. This turned out to be a scamcoin , but imagine what happens when amazon/IBM/Microsoft/ect... release their coins? They are working on them right now and may even give bitcoin a run for its money and topple it from the top. Do you really think one of these companies will waste their time with buying up all the tokens off NxT bagholders when they can simply take Nxt's code , Bitcoin code, and build off it?
