I do understand Jean Luk, but it doesn't matter. By the time Nem and Nxtl are launched Nas will bring lots of money to people who are buying now. As for pump and dump, every coin is pump and dump: Nas, Nxt, Bitcoin, every one of them. Prices are different, pattern is the same. All you can do is watch and try to catch a wave. There are certanly some very little number of people with ideals and 99,9% of them are programmers. All other people just make money, lose money, have fun.
Nas works, it's on exchanges, it has nice wallet, nobody give a fuck about its uniqness. Also I disagree with Jean Luk. As more clones Nxt has as better. If there were 100 Nxt clones then Nxt itself would costs 10 times more.
I think the market has woken up and smelt the coffee. That's why there's less than 4.5 BTC buy orders on dgex (of which 2.3 BTC is at 1 satoshi), and 247 million NAS sell orders.
