My feeling is the NXT will do okay in the long run.

 Just because it managed to get itself high on coinmarketcap with calculating doesn't make it popular.

Making just short of 1,000,000,000 can get your coin up there.

IMO people generally like these type of coins. (high number of coins minted all at once)  bitcoiners didnt.

Not worth my money right now. Its a slow train, if you can call 100% POS a train. Early adopter advantage is barely there.
