<p>I'm not familiar with PPC, regarding NXT it has proven itself to be secure and scalable in the last 18 month defeating many attack attempts. 
It has many features that are not available in a plain vanilla Bitcoin blockchain and cannot be directly compared to Ripple which is not blockchain based as far as I know.

Will NXT render PPC (PeerCoin) obsolete? Or which disadvantages does NXT have in comparison to PPC, except for PPC being older and therefore being more established.
