NEM will get the Disappointment of the Year award in 2014.
I've got massive reservations about NEM, nothing's happened with it for so long, and they made hundreds of promises about it at launch and now there's hundreds of these 'stakes' being offered in different shapes and sizes. I wouldn't risk it, everyone has stakes, noone has NEM.
I tried emunie and it works, it's not a myth but I don't see it's value over other currencies, a small investment in the first few hours of the first day of launch would be good though.
I've found watching for which coins get added to coinmarketcap and then investing early because they usually bump up a little. But by the time they're posted on coinmarketcap they've made their first big gains, so there's much to get.
eMunie has already been sabotaged to fail. It's geared into a Maidsafe / Mastercoin rich investor paradox. If eMunie supposedly has this 600-1000 BTC invested pre-launch (even pre-IPO) then who wants to invest into a ponzi scheme ran by a small handful wealthy investors? It's technically NxT's distribution in a nutshell but requiring that people upfront serious money. I'm intentionally ignoring all the huge scandals / red flags with eMunie as well (which is further discouragement).
