About volume, don't forget coinmarketcap doesn't count https://upbit.com/exchange?code=CRIX.UPBIT.KRW-XEM which represents roughly half of NEM total volume if i'm not mistaken. So it's not as bad as it looks
This is an update I think is very timely from NEM. NEM's management team is preparing for the best of it to work best in 2018 with anticipation of a major shift in the entire crypto market. In my opinion, investing in NEM is very reasonable.
