All of us that spend most of their waking hours following Nxt development tend to forget that not everybody has that time, technical knowledge, and interest, to do so. Those "stakeholders", me including, tend to invest in a variety of crypto-related things. Somebody with a full time job absolutely doesn't have the time to follow the development in all the areas he has invested in, let alone actively participate. Let's not forget that the maximum investment was capped at 1BTC. This is not a huge amount at all, for somebody investing in crypto. I myself have invested more than that for example in Mastercoin, and have spent time and money worth more than 1BTC mining ProtoShares. Yet I don't have time to check the progress of those two projects more than about once a week. It is just diversification, people don't put all their eggs in one basket. In any such project most of the investors will be just that - passive investors. You cannot blame them for not having the time and technical ability to participate. I do it with Nxt because it happens to be in Java and I hope to be able to contribute as a developer. I don't have the time to figure out the intricate Mastercoin protocols and the long term vision behind ProtoShares, so my investment in those projects is passive. Many of the Nxt stakeholders may have the same attitude towards Nxt - they put some money in it, just in case, and moved on because they are busy with other things. We have to accept it as normal, and BCNext should not risk ruining the whole project because of that.
