The distribution argument against NXT is full of jealousy and envy.....I've spoken to many of the original stakeholders, and they are just a bunch of random crypto/BTT people who made one very good decision.
And what's striking about them is how
active they've been subsequent to that "one very good decision." Had they just taken their winnings and ran, or even sat on their behinds, Nxt would have just faded away like so many other altcoins. When you consider what he built - and much more importantly, what he inspired - BCNext was woefully underpaid!
