We can not be blind like supernode will solve all
... we need know today how to use them and sell it with business.

PS:I don't want to see here bitshares peercoin namecoin NXT scenario - good coins but no business plan
what we see now is like a tech demo of the upcoming NEM
and the supernode bonus rewards are a incentive for people who provide a great multi hundret high performance nodes backbone to NEM
i really think the new website
https://www.nem.io/and the blog answer all questions and give more than enough reasons why its great to get a share on NEM in the early adopter phase
i see NEM in a really good position with solutions to many questions that most other coins have not answered
including to "smart contracts"
the answer NEM give here is to state
with industry most advanced form of multisig on blockchain
NEM provide the ideal toolbox for contract logic be build on top
BUT not executed on blockchain
some might think
hey if smart contract not exist blockchain is a fail
i see that different
blockchain is here to state the status who owns what (and chages of ownership via transactions)
in a way that cant be manipulated and thats transparent for everyone
and NEM do that perfect not just for one coin (XEM) but for any asset (called mossaic in NEM slang)
why someone send stuff from A to B is in my opinion not a fundamental part of blockchain core technology
and smart contract is exactly that some kind of automated logical construct why (under which conditions) transactions happens
and thats stuff that can go awfull wrong as TheDAO did show us)
i think u can compare blockchain with a car
and smart contracts with a autonomous driving car
to world might be ready in 5-10 years but not now
and in fact there is no reason that NEM chain cant be used for stuff as factum FCT offers
if i remember right part of their abilities already recreated on NEM via apostille
NEM make a clear difference between provide tools and build business with them
many companies did see this use the tools and build business based on it
we can expect the business launches build on top of NEM
and the technology leap when the actual NEM code will be replaced with a multiple times faster version based on C++
will create a firework that attract many many new investors into NEM
i see this point be reached in Q1/Q2 2017
please dont see this as investment advise
just my opinion and the reason why i dont risc waiting for 500 which we maybe never reach
and stock up already now with NEM
never forget there is no constant sell presure of POW or POS generated new coins on market
and its very hard get hands on cheap coins beside some whale dump his coins
ZERO INFLATION is the magic word
i think arrow will show upwards soon and NEM stay in waiting position around 800-1100
how far the jump will go we can hard estimate
last time it was 30 to 2500
that cant happen again
800 to 4000+ can be
in ideal case even 10000+
