Personally, I believe Steem's market (attention, social, and gaming) occupies just as much capital as the IoT market, at least in the meantime. The value in IoT transactions are still largely speculative, in my opinion, although it could very well dominate the markets once it matures.
man you know your stuff, that's why i love reading your blog posts i always come away either informed or as another peer validation in this space to come back and remember to re-look at information. thank you for sharing such a piece. the IoT stuff could either happen real quick or fall apart and go through iterations until we get to where it needs to be.
Haha i'm just babbling more than anything. But yeah IoT seems inevitable but I think many are underestimating the obstacles for ubiquity. There are hardware standards, interface, network protocols, etc..
yeah but that's always been the case with things like bluetooth and wifi standards. the market always ends up pushin it through. the big thing for me in IoT is security, we don't want these darn things to be just another avenue for cultivating ddos farms! :)
