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.)
whats the total electricity bill annually to run bitcoin miners? how much co2 does that release? how much eletronic gear goes out of date every 6 months - 1 year for the purpose of doing pointless math just to create bitcoin? how much does it cost to replace or upgrade the mining equipment?

can you implement an asset exchange into bitcoin and run it in a client? can you implement a voting system into bitcoin? a digital goods store? a multigateway so coins can be traded in a trustless manner? can you integrate any features what so ever into bitcoin with out having to do a hard fork? after 5 years, have the devs figured out a way to do blockchain pruning? can you do 1 min conformatoins with bitcoin? can you build entire mmorpg's on the bitcoin block chain? can you build entire social networks on top of the bitcoin block chain?

hhmmm.

NEM is the best cryptoplatform in the world!
Games & social networks will work on NEM cryptoplatform Wink
