A decentralized money has no leader. UF does not code and has no thing to do with the core blockchain. If BCNext with his shady IPO is not a blocker, UF issue is certainly not a problem. The guy has one sock account, pretty mild issue.
Actually in his words he said he had "a few."
But I can live with that.
The main problem for NEM is it doesn't exist yet. Once it exists then you can honestly compare it to NXT.
He said he made a few account but there is a only one active account.
