well the market needs time to react. if btc drops suddenly, its normal that the nem price drops too. the nem/usd price is quite stable at 20 cents for some time now and everything depends on btc right now. If it goes sideways, we can eventually see great new growth

the cycle continues ...
and each rise, is it for BTC or whatever, raises the attractiveness of cryptos among of the non-crypto people and media.
Which brings new people and money into crypto world.
Which can cause the next Pump ...
 

Status of the NEM Library Project

https://blog.nem.io/status-of-the-nem-library-project/

We would like to make an announcement on the project that was proposed by Aleix and Guillem on the NEM Library earlier on, seeking funding from the community fund to the tune of 1 million XEM.
The response from the community has been a resounding yes, for the project to go ahead. The core team has done some deliberation on it and they are of the opinion that both Aleix and Guillem’s contribution and work are valuable for the greater NEM, and that they should be considered for permanent employment by the foundation instead.
We have decided that the community should only fund them for the work they have done to date (i.e., 600K XEM) and have them paid by the foundation from there on as employees.
Both Aleix and Guillem have gracefully accepted our alternative offer. To that end, they are now employed under NEM.io Foundation as part of our plan to expand and recruit more programmers............

That is great news and addition to the foundation!

was a good look. Hopefully some changes in the near future.

There is some similarity, but timing looks now not so similar. Pumping of BTC has started now much earlier before fork, because now market players are more confident than last time, that when they buy BTC, they will earn by selling BitcoinGold. Of course things can turn out badly for them if dark forces of market will manipulate media informations sphere, causing crashes in BTCUSD. Who knows. Nothing should happen two times, but when it happens, it becomes a common rule. For me it's like visit in casino, so i dont buy Bitcoins to get the other Bitcoin, i only speculate to buy Bitcoin cheaper and sell higher, when i see potential for growth, Basically i try to look at Technical Analysis first as a base of decision. Now as price is near 6000USD i see high risk of buying Bitcoins so high, as this wave can end so badly as the wave of XEMUSD and XEMBTC in May/June. Bitcoin is overpumped, and that should result with crashes in the near future. Other thing is that even overpumped things, can be more overpumped. And flashcrashes after that are more painful for so called trendplayers. So now i seek signal from BTCUSD chart to close my longs. For now i see good uptrend, but this uptrend can end fast and unexpected as always.

NEM will rise like phoenix from ashes after Bitcoin fork, don't worry

Nope, but tbh: Are you really complaining about? I mean ... take a look at the charts. The whole year has been amazing.

XEM had an amazing price movement this year especially last May. Like most altcoins, the price corrected as bitcoin rises now because of the impending bitcoin gold fork.
