I waited what impact will have releasing of NXT code. The community thought that it will drive the price up, but in reality it did nothing for NXT, just many people trying to copy it. They didnt, but I heard those people saying they are not going to copy NXT code because it is strangely written.
Not sure how important releasing of code is, but think we should do something to prevent copying it.
First rule of economy says that resources are limited, thats what gives them value.
NEM must be valuebale. I totally stopped caring for 1.gen crypto, just because how much of them is in existence. Dont let that happend to NEM.
You're right the source release had no positive effect for NXT regarding the price. I think that witholding however did have an effect - a negative one.
That's because everyone was anticipating a HUGE price rise and so the price had already risen to extreme highs.
When it was released, all that was left was a lukewarm "meh". Followed by: this is shit

It's very common for a stock (I see it as a stock) to do this.
If you look at the code today, it hardly resembles the original code. Great work from Jean-Luc!
