Ya know what i was thinking today? of course you don't thats why I'm about to tell you.

I've been hearing a lot of criticism of bitcoin lately from the potential for altcoins to erode the trust in the concept of digital scarcity. Most notably the interview with adam back on lets talk bitcoin. By building decentralized exchange into the bottom protocol layer I think nxt can potentially restore this trust. Think about it, no other copy of nxt will ever have markets with as much market depth as nxt. Meaning their copy nxt will never has as much utility. Thus a copy of nxt is not "just as good as nxt". Since no copy of nxt will ever be "just as good as nxt" nxt can be thought of as scarce in a way that bitcoin can not.

I think this could be added to our list of "core arguments" in favor of nxt.

Yeah, I like he idea, but the more we build on top layer, the less can be copied. Take Nxt marketplace for example. If users were able to access a specific decentralized Nxt Marketplace (like a torrent) and be able to view and contribute to the market within their client, we would add immense unique value to Nxt, because that couldn't be copied or accessed outside of the Nxt network.

I think the importance here lies on "cannot be accessed". That's usually a bad thing, don't you think so?

Perhaps. But usually "can not be freely copied" is also a bad thing. Not so with crypto.
