Seems to be quite a bump in nem trading activity over the last couple of days.
Price has risen a bit, but I was never much concerned about price, the volume is what is making me happy. We've been at over 500k in volume the last 2 days, which is outstanding, shows that there is interest and people are actively buying and selling, which can only be good for the future of the coin, if some of these new developments come to light down the road.
It's a pretty hefty jump from the lull of the last few weeks, we had been hovering around 100k volume and losing marketcap. Nem actually gained about 6 mil in marketcap the last 2 days. I'm hoping this coin stays in the forefront and on people's minds in the coming months and is able to rebound big time off a new announcement and maybe get the kickstart it needs to go mainstream.
I agree, we are getting plenty of attention (in the right areas) and a good amount of XEM is changing hands each day, hopefully more newcomers will continue to buy, as IMO this is the most attractive (and fair) opportunity in crypto currently.
I dont see any viable alternatives and Ethereum is in a mess, even if ETC surpasses ETH, its still not perfect.
