I'm pretty sure we all want to see NEM go mainstream. NEM blockchain, one of the best blockchains in my opinion, has an obvious flaw. The NEM system gives more importance and reputation to those who spend their XEMs, but with the price so volatile, nobody want to use their XEMs for everyday transactions. Same thing happens to bitcoin, ethereum or any other blockchain/cryptocurrency. People hold their coins to stake/harvest, speculate, trade, but not to buy goods and services. That is why Chronobank's stable Labour Hour Tokens are so important to the whole blockchain industry. In my opinion, this is the only way blockchain can become mainstream.

NEM is leaning toward the economy concept where value keeps moving between individuals. For that moving value is considered a key in weighting network importance. Those who will build services on top of NEM will benefit the most from that. For instance, a service might not own any XEM on its own but circulates and facilitates value moving between different individuals "assets, game credit, ..." such service account can be the most important in the network without holding any balance by the end of the day.
