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
Sure, if I were here "from the beginning" I would be "calm" too because I would be up 1000s of %. But since I'm only here from last year it looks rather fucked up. This is the problem you early people don't understand - there is no appeal of NEM anymore over the other top 50 coins. I'm not talking about quick bucks I'm talking about reasonable efforts to KEEP UP with everything else. They are just asleep at the wheel and going right off the cliff. It is like watching a slow motion train wreck and not being able to do anything to stop it. EOS, Cardano and ETH are going to eat our lunch with this approach. Network effect, hype and pump and critical infrastructure in this sector. Rightly or wrongly it does spur awareness and adoption. Why the hell is NEM so completely invisible in the western world? How was that oversight even allowed to occur?
