There is one thing that i'm asking myself.

Why would we need NEM ?

It is absolutely blowing my mind , that there are people who think NEM will be their Bitcoin Rocketstart into wealth.

Why ? Because this time there a new people as Stakeholders ? Because the System is new , developed from the ground up and with another chance for catastrophic bugs or failures ? Is there really a need for another POS Coin ?

Baffles me and makes absolutely no sense in my mind...

(I'm also asking myself why we need NXT, but that is another story for another day.)

I can see why you are confused. You think NEM is another POS coin when it really uses a new algo called POI.
I'm guessing you think POW is perfectly fine right ?
About 400 tonns of CO2 per year of mining. That's not fine that's bullshit and it would be retarted to stick with the system when there are better options.

And meanwhile...it's been 45 minutes since the last Btc block. The Model T was great but wouldn't you rather have a Ferrari?
