What makes NXS valuable?
"To answer the question, tokens dont represent value. Nexus is a cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies have their own protocols. They have their own networks. They have their own immutable ledgers. They dont rely on other blockchains to work or exist.
Nexus derives its value because of supply and demand. It is people wanting to have Nexus that gives it value. What makes it special is the same thing other cryptos(tokens not included). There is a whole network and economy established sovereign from banks or states which exists on its own. It has aspects to it which we spoke about a few days ago which make it different from many other asset classes but it holds certain aspects of each making it something new. I would say its cubesat Network, its security strengths, its variable proof of stake based on stake, time and trust, its 3 mining channels, its speed, and its library set it apart from Bitcoin and other cryptos and give it is value as well.
Its not semantics. If someone asks what makes my skateboard good for off road while pointing to my 4x4 pickup truck, the question shows their basic lack of understanding the difference between a toy and a vehicle. If you cannot differentiate the difference between a token and a cryptocurrency, you lack the basic understanding to be risking any money on either and should do more research before you invest in this space"- SmileyGnome at Nexus Slack
