I think BTSX is just still in a bubble ... For that matter, you know their distribution is in some ways worse than Nxt's?  Someone owns 9% of all BTSX.

Gee... I wonder who that is.  lol   

If Dan owns that much, how much do you think Stan owns?  What's the second biggest BTSX account?  Seeing that they're father and son, that seems pretty concentrated.

Scammers gonna scam.

Actually I hear it's not Dan.. though I imagine he has to be up there. Who's Stan?

Everyone knows that BITSHARES IS RUN BY THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS.

Their loss in the long run.  We need to keep plowing forward, keep building businesses around Nxt and improving the core code and they will come.  Look at BTC's lead up.. it spent years being worth less than $0.01.  Clearly given it's potential it should have been worth a little bit more than that and those that saw the long term potential probably felt it was very undervalued too... I think that's a good thing, means you can buy more cheaply   Though granted it's a shame I'm mostly living off of previously invested Nxt at the moment

And look at the asset exchange, we are by far the most used asset exchange most of the time.  We do need to keep pushing though to add shorting as it's something BitShares has going for it.. and a couple other features such as wallet.dat.. please send HumanFractal a message urging him to submit his proposal and work on that   And I'm still working on Instant Transactions, which will be very important for the asset exchange.. if I can truly get sub-second transaction confirmations, even if they are not 100% guaranteed if 30% of the network decides to try to hack it, that will be huge in my opinion and that of other traders who need to be able to quickly trade some assets for day trading where a second vs two seconds can make a difference.

Regarding initial distribution.. most people really don't care.  I've been going to Bitcoin meetups.. I mention Nxt and everyone owns a little bit of Nxt.  I think that it's actually just fairly natural for our price to be about where it is at this point.  I think BTSX is just still in a bubble, look at Darkcoin's graph, than at BTSX's graph.. I think they are still in the phase where they don't realize just how much time it takes to build businesses around a crypto and get usage, etc.  For that matter, you know their distribution is in some ways worse than Nxt's?  Someone owns 9% of all BTSX.  Point being other than BTSX, most of the cryptos near the top in terms of marketcap are arranged based upon time they've been around and uniqueness.. and BTSX will get there below us soon enough.

There just hasn't been a lot of excitement around Nxt recently.. which isn't necessarily a bad thing.  There are some big things in the works though that'll provide some price boosts if you can just hold on a little bit longer.  Maybe try to find your own project or two around Nxt to work on or support.  Would be good if more miners realized they could mine for Nxt via hashrate.org for example!  And will boost price and it involves mining other coins, dumping them, then used that BTC to buy Nxt.. though maybe that's not the best way to introduce the idea to miners.  Or write an article explaining your vision for the future of Nxt and why you think it'll be big and publish it somewhere.

Also, make sure the developers and people working on Nxt feel appreciated.. they are more likely to work a little bit harder if they realize just how appreciated they are.  And on that note, thanks to a couple people such as allbits and buybitcoinscanada and a couple others such as msin for donations and making me feel appreciated.. I was starting to lose interest in working on IT as it didn't feel like I was making as much as I'd otherwise make and just for some reason didn't feel appreciated.  They've help get me back on track though and I've been making more progress lately
