I hope you are right and they are working like hell "in the dark" to get everything running with real companies directly.  The problem is they are going to fall so far behind in MC that any companies looking for blockchain solutions will automatically turn to the big players (Top 10) and not consider much else as serious (outsider CEO perspective: but no one does business with those guys, why should we?).  Once this starts in earnest the network effect and number of devs available for those other platforms will be too strong to overcome for NEM.  Positive feedback is a powerful force even if the underlying tech is sub-optimal.

Because watching a project that has everything technically be pissed away by a bunch of neophytes with 0 social sense is painful.

Let me guess: you were here from the presale days.  If you had invested anything in the last couple of months or year there is no doubt EOS or Steem would have been a better investment.  This is the problem you long-time hodlers just don't understand.  Those projects are building the inertia and will have the resources to dominate - technology be damned. I love when people make excuses for NEM saying they are small and understaffed and overworked - well they are because they have no sense of marketing and riding some hype to increase their MC and therefore available funds.  They just don't get it or are too lazy to do it or it is too late.

Looking back, all I can say is I am really glad I invested in NEM rather than Steem which was built by the guy behind EOS

 why so angry?  Grin

maybe they just don't care about P&D and try to focus on the important stuff. It is easy to say that there is no marketing, but just because its not marketing to attract the end user directly doesn't mean there is none. They are targeting the companies and projects directly
