I would like to know if NetM is the same as Nem

It's because stellar is having such a big competitors such as bitcoin, eth, and etc. Even though stellar are doing great most of the people will only notice the popular one. But I guess stellar will bloom sooner or later. We just have to wait to make it happen.

Stellar is a decentralized blockchain-operating value founded by Jed McCaleb. McCaleb was also a co-founder of Ripple, so these two currencies share more than just a couple of similarities.

Stellar is a payment technology that aims at creating an easy way of making transactions between multiple users set on a decentralized ecosystem. With this idea, XLM is even using the same protocols as Ripple. However, the similarities between the two make different ways after 2014 when Stellar launched SCP, which is a protocol that changed the way Stellar works.

Now, Stellar is an open source system, Ripple is dealing with a closed source, which is at the same time the main difference between the two. Moving forward from the story about the differences between Ripple and Stellar which were both developed with the help of McCaleb, Stellar is focused on the idea of enabling fast and cheap global payments for the developing countries as well as for people who don’t own a bank account.

Unlike many other altcoins, XLM is not taking advantage of miners for their need of approving transactions. So, instead of having miners within the network to approve transactions, XLM is using the FBA protocol.

With FBA algorithm, Stellar has enabled fast transactions and prompt transaction approvals. This is the case because this algorithm uses only fragments of the network at the time.

Stellar also uses smart contracts for more thorough legal binding, just like Ethereum, which additionally raises its technological and practical value.

Since Stellar has the required technology to support these demands, it is no surprise that this currency had an amazing rise in its price at the beginning of January 2018. At that time Stellar was dealing at over 1$ per one unit, which was at the same time a value multiplied 15 times in oppose to XLM’s previous price.

If you're patient enough to wait until such time you will witness how stellar will be known. Since its value is getting high.

Why Stellar has great potential

Note: This is just my opinion so don’t take it as investment advice.

As we all know, Stellar has increased quite a lot lately. I’m going to put a lot of links in this post to back up each point by the way, hopefully it’s not annoying! So let’s take a look to see where we currently stand:
IBM

Stripe got on board with Stellar in the early days which was impressive enough, but the partnerships are still rolling in now. Over the last few months we learned that IBM are getting involved which is a very good vote of confidence for the Stellar team. It’s not every day that a Fortune 500 company gets involved with cryptocurrency.
It’s cheap

This might sound ridiculous, but psychologically people feel strange purchasing 0.001 of something for example. At the moment Stellar is the cheapest coin in the top 20 on Coin Market Cap. With more and more people wanting to get involved with cryptocurrency (including those who want to only put in a small amount) Stellar seems cheap. Sure, there are other “cheap” coins but when you look at the likes of Ripple vs Stellar it’s clear that there’s a lot more value in Stellar.

Is eos the new ethereum
