ive followed nxt price for a long time, im pretty sure nem def has something to do with the price rise, im not saying its the only reason, but nxt has only done 110,000 volume the past 24 hours and its risen 12%, what did nem do $50,000 volume the first day, easy math says its plausible.

the last major run up was caused by being at a conference where they made a huge amount of contacts and many many people were interested greatly by nxt.. there is currently guys at another conference now(today and tomrrow i think.. not literally right now lol) and the payexpo is coming up (nxt is the only coin going to be there.. dont even think btc is going to be there, could be wrong. there is also 3 major major announcements to be made..(pre ann today) a huge amount of excitement and many nxt guys bought more.. one devs interveiw was also on letstalkbitcoin today i think actually. nem may have played a part.. but its far from the main cause!

also this: https://nxtforum.org/central-europe-bitcoin-expo-(vienna-may-31-2014)/day-1/msg32930/#msg32930

if you look to the comments bellow he also states that is "confirmed"

what i take from this is that nxt may become listed on the exchange that he is talking about.. if its huobi... shit.. thats guna be SICK!!!! so ya i dont think its nem lol

Ah that explains it... lots of activity on NXT exchange + the NEM stuff: NEM, dotsforbits, and tons of others

I've been following conventions for the various coins and conclude that they're a waste of money, they cost more to attend than they get out of it.

A bit off-topic but I am forced to attend conventions, in my industry, and it's honestly a big joke. Conventions are all about socialites and networking between the high status people (IF these people show up, more often than not they send the intern who can't answer simple questions). The Bitcoin and digital currency conventions are no different, from what I have heard.

If you read the NxT forums like me - even they acknowledge that NEM is dominating the NxT AE and that's where most of the upswing in volume is coming from.
