They already had $1 million before coindesk article and a thread on BTT. Where's this money coming from? Maidsafe IPO had laundered MtGox Bitcoins and Maidsafe corporation and angel investors buying their own coin and that went to $8 million. What happened to Maidsafe? Well the volume afterwards became a joke because 99% of it was all internal buying.

Ethereum has the Goldmansach's connection and they presumably have angel investors with deep pockets. They're making it look like Ethereum actually has demand and a following but we know the opposite to be true - Ethereum forum is essentially dead, almost nobody talks about it on Bitcointalk (and those who did hate it), so Ethereum in a nutshell is another ponzi scheme ran by a few wealthy investors and they're going the copywrighting route like Mastercoin and Maxcoin (spamming lame articles and videos all over the place).

Exactly. And in truth, most people see this. The whole "buzz" about ethereum is artificially created.

@patmast3r - Your point is absolutely taken, I'm just trying to constantly remind everyone how low the bar really is, so where possible let's make strategic decisions. In this case I think people just wanted a solid justification for the "latest and greatest" tendency concern, which has now been given. That certainly wasn't a jab at the devs, whom I respect. Just don't forget how mind bendingly inefficient the average person is on a piece of technology. Statements like "this will someday replace fiat" require the minimum amount of barriers. As you said, that time frame is much larger than the small window of struggle we are seeing here, so acknowledged.

You voice speaks for mine too. Most people havn't the patience to understand what most of us here consider extremely basic PC skills. However, in due time, this will change.

Nonetheless, the more accessible we can make NEM the better. But i also think it is important to give nem more advanced features for those who choose that option - options of course, are massively important.
