Well, although features are good. They only influence price indirectly, through speculation. People who are here for a quick win want hype(s) and speculation. But in the long run, it's not the best that can happen.
That's because features alone won't give us a sustainable higher price.
Only applications using NEM in real life situations will add real value. And a sustainable higher price will be the automatic result of those applications.

Building applications, that should be the main focus IMO. That's why I consider the press releases about the two Japanese consortia much more important than speculation or hypes as a result of marketing or media attention alone.

So, happy coding everybody
