Why should I use NEM when there is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is purely a crypto currency, like many other digital coins. Some are application specific while some are purely currencies.
Apart from NEM being another crypto currency, NEM is a solution platform, there is more to offer as a platform.
As a crypto currency, it does not require a lot of computing power and energy to run a node.
NEM also advocates low entry barrier with Proof of Importance (POI) instead of the traditional ones that require a lot of stakes or computing power to mine. In NEM we call it harvesting. In addition, it also uses another solution, called Eigentrust ++ to validate and sieve out bad actors in the network.
As an evolving solution, NEM is setting the stage for better things to come.

Storing on CoinSpot
Due to CoinSpot’s flexible Multicoin Wallet, storing your digital currency is simple. Just by creating your CoinSpot account you will automatically be given your own unique wallet where you can store your NEM for free.
Cold Storage
If you are holding NEM as a long term investment, you can utilise a cold storage wallet and send your coins there from your CoinSpot account. A cold wallet is a wallet which is completely offline (not connected to the internet) and is a popular option amongst people who prefer to hold their coins, rather than regularly trade.
