I bought mainly from bter but a small portion from poloniex. Basically I executed the buy orders until 0.0000074 BTC/NSR at the same time on both exchanges to get the cheapest possible nushares. I then placed multiple sell orders in the range of 0.0000077 and 0.0000088 BTC. The NSR market has been rather volatile for half a year now and since we’re near bottom prices right now it makes sense to buy low and sell higher.
The people who are selling right now have been over invested in NSR and they need to cash out for whatever reasons. The bter hack is mainly still responsible for the NSR being so weak and that was totally unexpected for many of us. It takes time to recover from an incident like that and I think the time is ripe for the NSR to rise from the ashes. I must admit I myself am over invested in NSR right now but since I don’t need to use the funds stuck in NSR I have time to wait for better prices. Not everyone can afford to wait though. They are willing to sell at loss.
I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the desperate sellers are actually dumb speculators and gamblers who bought into NSR prior to bter hack in hope of quick buck and are now forced to sell with a loss. They have not educated themselves about the fundamentals of nubits and used only the price chart as a basis for their investment. From that point of view, it would make sense to “sell the dying asset”, even though NSR is actually not dying.
