I don't understand where is the problem. The fear about NXT coins could be lost by mining pool, NODEcoin or something other.
NXT coins is the basis of all the system NXT. It's proof of stake of NXT, not NODEcoin or other asset. It's impossible. No worry about that. If you want to have some control of NXT, you need NXT.
About the mining, I'm not a miner. I think it's a wast of energy and ecological inefficient.
But when you want to buy a stake in NXT, you have not a lot of solution :
- You buy some with Bitcoin. To have BTC, you can buy them with FIAT or shitty altcoins.
- You receive a bounty or a gift (or salary) in NXT
The mining pool NXT are attractive while the PoW coins are valuable. If you think, the PoW are stupid, you can stop buy them with your NXT.
It's the same with NODEcoin, if the community thinks what NODEcoin is shitty coin, the don't buy them and NODEcoin has no value.
If NXT (PoS) have more value as BTC (PoW), our model win. But we need to have the value and the economy who support this value.
Every thing is a coin. Assets can be avery thing : one hour of work, one kg of sand, a blowjob, a node on the NXT network, one day of wast of energy. You can buy what you want. If you think some things are stupid, don't buy.
NXT is the central point of every thing. Your choice of what you do (or not) with them, it's the possibility to influence the NXT economy.
HODL, not only to have money but also to have your part of control. And when you give some NXT, make that like a smart guy, help the project you like or buy what is in your own moral value.
NXT is decentralised and the NXT economy/ecosystem grows with the power/stake of the stakeholders. Don't worry. The system is based on NXT, it's the connection between every NXTers and projects. Nobody can change that.
And every new projects are welcome. If I don't like, I don't buy or use. If all the community don't like or use, it will naturally die. Like the forging pools, great project but no useful.
Let's build an economy !
Good summary!
