NEM announced Node Reward Programme. We decided to increase the number of XEM in the Portfolio to launch our own NEM node, about this @21xhipster will tell in a future. Well, we see that all the steps that NEM Team make recently brings good results — the number of nodes increases, and the volume of trading and the price on the asset rise over the last month.

Ripple price after the announcement of Series A $28M investment round started to grow, but still far from the position in which it was at the beginning of the year (-63%). We believe XRP pass the bottom, thus the upward trend will continue. Ripple makes a lot for a whole cybereconomy and this efforts must be perceived by the market.

And last but the most interesting. The whole last year we are waiting for the launch of Ethereum, perhaps the most stunning project in the history of cybereconomy. Deadline for the launch is not yet known (about the beginning of summer), but the Team keeps the community informed of the progress. The latest announcement was about Ethereum on Raspberry Pi Programme

So, if you want to join Ethereum network building — go buy Raspberry Pi 2 for only $45 and learn how to setup the node or ask for one in online form (Ethereum have a few of these to give away).

Solidity — perhaps, the next big language for (very) Smart Contracts moving rapidly. Already exist huge pack of education materials for DApp engineers:

• Ethereum Development Tutorial
• Ethereum Builder’s Guide
• Ethereum Wiki
• Ethereum Frontier Guide
• Dapps for Beginners
• Eris Solidity Series

So, NOW is definitely the time for diving into Smart Contracts and DApp development.

Be calm and patient, look deeper, and profits will come!
