Nope, you are wrong, as usual.

But, independent of point of views, and even if ARDR was the new internet or an untold marvel of the universe, it would STILL be NXT 2.0. Just like no matter how many features Microsoft or IOS add to the operating systems, they remain the same operating system, logically updated and improved. How would you like Apple coming out with a scheme by which IOS would now offer  IOS- "Salamandra" and IOS -"White Tiger"... with IOS -"Lioness" coming down the pipe, which APPL would have sold to a private company (own by APPL staff) with the premise that while they will keep on working and supporting IOS (all of them) they'll make their money selling "children" of "Lioness" to private corporations. Do you think that such a thing would improve the value of APPLE?

This is a very blatant -and so far proven smart- scheme to line their pockets at the expense of you, converts, that need to maintain the network otherwise the house of cards falls to the ground. Nothing else. That why there are no ICOS on NXT, there won't be any on ARDR (although they will pretend there will be) and no future, really, in this project. Maybe the tech ends up being valuable and they are able to sell it to some minor private clients. Maybe. But YOU will not benefit from that. Not a penny.

This project is actually a grotesque evolution of what it was created to be and meant to be. Had the "team" diligently (and honestly) worked toward making NXT the NEXT THING, it could have been something quite great. Instead, it stinks of greed and the stink chases away even the curious investors, let alone the potential users of the network. Sad.
