If you aim for a long-term cryptocurrency and do not mind waiting a few years, then NEM is definitely a keeper.

Pros
XEM is one of the safest cryptocurrency and stolen XEM can be tracked back to its the previous owner. It is a extremely secure coin. Prior to many cryptocurrency companies NEM is trying to enter the detail industry, and have recently launched its own payment system so XEM can actually be used in reality. In my opinion NEM have one of the best e-wallets.
NEM have is also assisting real life industries to make it easier for companies to deal with logistic tracking and administrative tasks. According to World Economic Forum, future jobs article: The administrative section will suffer most as technology advancement will replace people. Will NEM see the raise of Smart Asset in the future? I believe so.
Cons
There used to be more news with current projects and whereabouts. I miss that part. I know NEM are working on the technology opportunities, but I believe marketing and spreading awareness is as important, especially for newcomers.
