They could even airdrop some of the Proximax, Bankera and/or Tutellus tokens when they become available to current NEM holders and announce that well in advance to create some steady buying pressure. That promotes both the larger ecosystem and ownership of NEM. Something, anything would be welcome at this point. The thinking on their end just seems completely frozen.
Many of the people are here from the beginning. They remain calm because they know that's not how NEM works. Constant airdrops are not a guarantee for a steady rise and not P&D. I'm quite happy with the foundation handling the project and the community is growing with a lot more people joining and contributing. Not every coins has to be a overhyped coin for some quick bucks
The first rule of crypto is patience, If you can't be bothered waiting for the market to mature and adoption to grow organically then why are you here? Seriously, this is such a new industry and nobody knows exactly how things will pan out, but NEM is a real contender and has been for 4 years now.
