I optimist bitcoin will reach $ 20k in this year.. we must believe in this year bitcoin will stronger than last year, bitcoin is getting known in the world, it will make people more interested about bitcoin and bitcoin price will continue to increase.. bitcoin will give many surprises in the future..

Yeah, me too, I think bitcoin will go back to $20,000 by the before the end of January 2018. And once the Lightning Network is implemented the sky is the limit for bitcoin. No doubt, we are going to $100,000 this year.

This poll is too limiting. What if I dont think 20K will be reached until 2020 or later?

It has already touched it, but after touching that price, it started to go down like a plummet, i dont know why it has been happening lately, but it is very preocupant after all, soon we will be there again.

everybody's ready for $20K before Christmas. People will not sell out BTC to buy Xmas gifts - 'cause bitcoin became the best gift as itself now!!

Australian startups to share in $90 million NEM blockchain investment fund

Hopeful Australian blockchain startups will now have access to part of a $US70 million ($92 million) investment fund to fuel development of local companies, provided by the company behind one of the world’s largest cryptocurrencies.

The NEM.io Foundation is based in Singapore but has expanded into Australia over 2017 to promote and encourage development on its NEM blockchain. The company announced the multimillion-dollar fund this week and has already locked in a $650,000 investment in local IP-focused blockchain startup CopyrightBank.

Speaking to StartupSmart, CopyrightBank founder David Oh explains what sets the NEM blockchain apart from the technology behind cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

“For Bitcoin, you need someone with a deep understanding of cryptography to make it anything beyond a digital store of value, and for Ethereum you need a developer proficient in Solidity, which isn’t so easy to program in,” Oh says.

“NEM works via APIs (application programming interfaces), so you’re not actually programming the blockchain itself. You can write in any language you want, Javascript, Ruby on Rails etcetera, and it just interacts through the APIs.”

This ease of access is why Oh thinks Australian startups should take advantage of the fund provided by the NEM.io Foundation, saying the blockchain space is moving “very fast, so don’t wait”. The company is dedicating around $13 million worth of XEM tokens to Australian startups, which are also required to be “active members” of the NEM community.

Oh says the funding is decided through community voting, with companies posting the concept for their startup on the NEM community forums, which are then voted on by users. Top companies are then presented to the Foundation, which carries out due diligence before issuing the funding in XEM tokens in line with the company achieving milestones.

“The reason we established this fund is because we believe that blockchain can truly transform the way businesses operate, and we see the rise of the XEM cryptocurrency as a way of giving back to the community,” global director of partnerships and strategic alliances at the NEM.io Foundation Jason Lee told StartupSmart.

NEM is currently the 12th largest cryptocurrency by market cap and the price of the token has risen over 6000% this year. It’s currently sitting at 20c.

“We want startups who can really work on applications that would benefit society and solve a fundamental problem for Australians,” Lee says.....

I see lots of marketing going on around NEM in Twitter. Glad to see such progress.

Now it's become a little bit cheaper;) bought some on 2300 satoshi.  Waiting, believing)

Not all correct, but another news:

Russian community has the biggest following in NEM. People are adopting NEM without us knowing. Seems NEM's tyres have hit the road.

yup ..... next run up will be very noticable

I am happy to see the price of NEM bumped up just a bit at the same time that Bitcoin is experiencing another major run up. It says a lot about the solidity and stability of the coin that it's held a fairly stable 20 to 21 cent price tag in the past few weeks. We all are looking forward to that stable price tag being over a Dollar, but at least it has a stable price now.
