that indeed is really big news, if it came out during a bull run we'd see Nem go up x5 at least. Now during this bear market this news doesnt affect the price that much, but Nem will be rewarded next time the market goes up, all those without a working product and good partnerships will be left behind
Too many people out there looking to make short term profits rather than looking at the longer term picture, there's a lot of vaporware and marketing hype, but not many working products.
The patient investors will be rewarded. There might be again some buying chances for the patient investors.
When looking XEM/BTC for 2017 and 2018, it looks so that now it has done its "cyclic" downward trend and reached the lowest levels (of 2 years).
And after that the rise may begin as it did in 2016 May and 2017 December.
