what gives a thing value. Is it utility, is it beauty, is it nostalgia/emotion, is it cultural?
why is a diamond more valuable then medicine. Why is an arsenal win over spurs more valuable to me then $100 but not a $1000.

The Mona Lisa is to me personally worth very little but to an art lover invaluable. It's rare,beautiful has historical emotional value which converts to financial value.  

Bitcoin has value because its relatively rare, innovative, has utility and has gained a reasonable amount of trust. Aurora coin has value because it has utility, somewhat rare, speculative value and sentimental value.  

What is the most important component for value creation. How would Nem be valuable to people.Sorry I am just daydreaming. Smiley

NEM would be valuable because people give it value.

It begs the question, why is anything valuable? The answer is that there is nothing intrinsically valuable about diamond, gold, silver or other precious metals. The idea of 'intrinsic value' is nonsense.

Which begs the question why people apart from us stakeholders give it value  Cheesy. How do we make people fall in love with NEM? Doge was brilliant, it appealed to the better side of human nature. It started by being fun, making fun of the greed culture among miners and being generous. wow its really hard to think of ideas that are effective.   

Yes, Doge has been great in the marketing area. Has anyone seen their page at http://foundation.dogecoin.com/ ?
NEM definitely needs to do something like that. I believe this will help add to the value of NEM. We can add a subdomain called "foundation" or "charity" to the ournem.com site.
