XEM/NEM is a perfect example for being a long term supporter and believer of an altcoin. I remember when it was traded around 30 satoshi, then 300, then 1500, 3000, 11000...
Anyway, if you support long enough a project with professional development and community, it will pay off in some years. This is what people forget in cryptospace because everybody wants to became a millionaire overnight. This is just not how it works.
I would like to congratulate to anybody who have not sold his/her initial stake or did a great HODL over the years.
agreed, but with hundreds of new projects out there every week, endless ICO sells etc. it is hard to find the dime nowadays, there are plenty projects which look promising but will fail in the end.
