I am pretty high on NEM - I think by the end of 2017 NEM is going to have catapulted far ahead of the low twenty cent USD range it is currently trading at.
In this case I wanted to put my money where my mouth is so I bought in to NEM at several dips in price over the last few weeks and now hold about 2000 XEM - not a large investment, but I don't have a large amount of money to invest either. I have been keeping an eager eye out for news on the upcoming Catapult upgrade (a complete overhaul and rerelease of the NEM code, migrated to C++ instead of the Java it currently uses, and with quite a few feature upgrades as well - read more about Catapult here). I still haven't been able to find anything except for rumors about when Catapult will spring on us but I did find another bit of good news for NEM investors today:
Upcoming NEM fee fork
There will be a fee fork which should occur around 8/20 and will lower most transaction fees by a factor of twenty and institutes some new low flat fees for certain transaction types.
