Guys my friend wants to invest 1 solitary BTC in an upcoming coin. I have read and researched all the upcoming coins so far and to me the most promising two seem to be NEM or NUMUS . I thought Spark was good until the escrow screwup Sad

so I will have to decide among these two.

NEM : Seems to have a lot of buzz around it, 1 million per stake Cheesy

, big friendly community and a very good promoter and dev team .

Numus : New entry but seems very professional, has mining and already seems to have a very good idea about its future plan of action, also number of coins is less than NEM.

Which one is the better option and why?

Numus easily.

1) They have a whitepaper
2) Excellent marketing and design team. (I heard about Numus through a tech site called overclock.net so their marketing must be doing something right)
3) They have a practical and logical approach to gaining public adoption. (See their whitepaper)

As GoatGuy stated above, Numus is the better choice. The reason I invested in them is because they see the bigger picture.

This is what I posted in the NEM thread (I sourced the Numus whitepaper for this) : "The key for most if not all coins currently is marketing. Face it, no real coin besides primarily Dogecoin and Bitcoin has really gained any public adoption of some sort. The first coin which secures a foothold outside of the crypto community will be most likely to succeed in the long-term. This is what I think NEM and Numus should work towards.

And it seems like others agree with my view :

Yup. That's what often slips many minds here. Everyone is inside the crypto matrix.

A coin that steps outside that and presents itself as user friendly and informative will kick the pants off any amount of technical cleverness.
