Oh gaud, the hatred...
The only two complaint that were launched against nxt, were:
1) That its distribution was not fair.
2) That is is a premined scam.
Both those arguments are completely out of grounds and lack any credibility, because they both are subjective opinions and not facts of any kind.
Complaint 1 is a butthurt opinion by people who missed the bitcoin train and also did the same with nxt. Although more NXT than BTC are and will always be on circulation and although NXt gained a wider adoption than any altcoin after BTC. For them it is not "fair"(because "fair" to them means something completely different than the rest of the world).
Complaint 2 is also moot because it presupposes that premine=scam, an opinion shared only by people that have spent 5-figure amounts on mining rigs. A pos will make their equipment obsolete. A pos will make them eat their miners, so buy them a coke to help them swallow.
Now the same trolling accusations come forward with NEM. People call it a scam, because ANYONE can claim it, even multiple times. So they argue that a coin that is given for free has no value. Those are people that just want MORE for themselves.
The people that DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO HAVE A CHANCE WITH IT hate the fact that a coin can become precious for someone that gave nothing to acquire it in the first place ONLY BECAUSE THEY PAID THEIR MINING RIGS.
All of them are trying to make all of you forget a basic economic principle:
The currency that is being used for transactions (be it either $, euros, btc, nxt or shiny stones) has value ONLY BECAUSE THE MEMBER OF A COMMUNITY THAT IS USING IT trusts that the currency(again for the haters:any currency) WILL BE adopted by the rest of the community.
It is that TRUST on a currency that gives the currency its value, and nothing else. You can have all the dollars in the world, if we all do business with BTC, you can only use dollars as firestarters.
This means that if you trust and use in a market a coin that you paid nothing to acquire, and it gains traction and value because of your trust, while someone else spent actual money to buy another coin, you actually had to spend less tha him. He is on the downside, the hating side. Because that particular someone had to spend money to acquire the wealth you acquired for free.
This is the only reason the haters have: they have already spend too much on other shit and they want that shit to rise in value.
Let the haters hate. People crying over someone elses' ability to make money don't have to be taken into consideration.
Especially if they just don't give a specific reasonable excuse on their butthurtness.
