The overall distribution in Bitcoin isn't really better as in NXT. And why are you so sure that does not almost all of XMR are mined by botnets? Mining isn't a better distribution, example: Bitcoins. And i also don't like the electricity wastage.
"The overall distribution in Bitcoin isn't really better as in NXT." False. Bitcoin is still not even 75% floated.
As debated above, IPO of 100% of a currency, up front, is not a strong recipe for mass adoption. There is little to no sunk cost for original/average holders (something like a paltry $2-3k total in this case - which makes me wonder - why didn't the NXT founders just match or beat that with their own money, and thus hold 50%+ of coins?), and thus incentive for original holders not to sell.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, with a slower distribution, every order of magnitude of growth brings in new buyers at a higher cost basis, and a lower number of "cheap buyers", lessening the chance of an original buyer crashing the market e.g. "1 million Satoshi Coins".
Fortunately for NXT holders, NXT has built itself many competitive advantages, so the market is unlikely to crash completely.
