I agree that there is definitely opportunity for NEM to outgrow NXT if done right. NXT has some problems, not just distribution. It is not helpful that the main dev for NXT wants to disappear and be a complete mystery and communication is not good. I think having a bigger team of devs and better communication with the wider NEM community will be a big help.
Forget NXT, let's beat a worthless coin like Aurora.
Lol, I wish there was an easier way to short it. Then again I would probably lose, I never would have seen the run-up to 600mil+ coming. I guess it should give us hope that it doesn't take a year to get to the top of the alt-coins.
