I am an initial stakeholder.
I believe 1 Oz silver coin will be distributed to all initial stakeholders at a proper time.
And the rest of this fund can be used as NEM's another fund.
If it is used as supernode reward, supernode rewarding period will be extended about x2.
This is great to NEM's development.
(I am not running supernode.)

One difference though is that in 2013 when you mention bitcoin to someone and they say wtf is that. You have a lot of explaining to do.
Today if you mention NEM, you can say like bitcoin but better.

I'm an initial investor. I haven't redeemed my NEM. Is there any way to redeem it now?

That's too bad. You threw 2250000 XEM away. The best way for you is to forget it and buy XEM now again.

but now 600 is closer than 700 

I'm really surprise with the XEM pricing. With all the good news and all the companies using NEM tech and we're still not even worth 1 cent. and other crap coins are worth more. I know we keep saying NEM  doesn't need advertising (LOL) but how do we think bitcoin did it? and made this huge. I hope we can creat a great PR for XEM/NEM get the name out.

I'm really surprised that many people complaining here and expecting things happend, but are
not ready to study/won't have any idea what is happening. By searching 5 seconds you could see that
over 300 companies are testing NEM and some % of them will stay to use it.
Not going to tell you when that will be 😃 you can find all the answers by yourself.

NEM is the only coin in the top 10, and possibly even top 20, that was not mining distribution (which mining kings dominate) or a massive ICO (rich get richer).  NEM is the real underdog project in blockchain land and it is massively undervalued.    NEM is like Amazon Google during dotcom, Amazon Google were ignored during all the dotcom hype.  

That's the real reason why NEM always faced resistance in the top 1% of Crypto Land, especially on the Anglophone social media like Bitcointalk but also the biased outlets fake news like Coindesk (the original creator was a very wealthy man).  If you don't let the mining kings or rich dominate your distribution then they send their shills to discredit your project and black list you on websites like Coindesk.

It's the same reason why U.S. politics is screwed up because the rich can lobby all day and completely mitigate and minimize working and middle class concerns.


NEM thrives in Japan and Asia because the blockchain whales are Anglophones who can't really manipulate things in East Asia due to language barriers.

The extended & extended redemption period was over long & long  time ago.
No one got your NEM coins, they were belonged to NEM community fund.
