NEM is a cryptocurrency with a strong entrepreneurial character. That is, unlike currencies like Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, their goal is not to challenge fiat money and become a payment method for goods and services.
On the contrary, NEM's strength is taking advantage of its Blockchain platform to generate solutions in three different areas of society. First, offering companies a data storage service for both customers and transactions. Being able to serve as an accounting book hosted on a secure and invulnerable network
Secondly, NEM has functions within the government. Because if a government decides to use XEM to exercise its public policy measures. You will immediately make a profit in terms of transparency, and therefore fight corruption and fraud.
Finally, one of the great differentiating elements of NEM with respect to other cryptocurrencies, is its support to the academic sector. Well, while big business cryptocurrencies like XRP they focus on the private sector. NEM decides to offer services to the academic sector for data storage. Both administrative (titles, evaluations), and scientific (research).
