From Nxt BCE, we get that there are only 581 accounts as block 8303, which means there are only 581 accounts have some coins. So maybe not more than 500 people all around the world own Nxt.
Keep on trading, keep on distributing to get Pareto Optimality.
I agree, but there isn't much that people like me, sitting at 10,000 NXT can do. More of the top players, in the tens of millions, need to lead distribution. Only two of the top ten accounts have distributed any coins.
