I always do my research based on these factors, because in my opinion, these entities are way smarter than me, so that's why I don't touch the stuff.
Oh, and their socialistic outlook on fees is another reason, but that's a very heavily documented subject as it pertains to me already, so I digress.
What say you guys and gals, do you trust IOTA, and if so why?
a good chance that this particular coin is not worth one iota
Ha ha, that's where I stand, but so so many are aboard that hype train.
This is just my opinion, but I think IOTA is a very different monster than most of these blockchain based alts. In fact, the way I see it (I may be wrong) that IOTA isn't a blockchain at all. The "TANGLE" operates differently altogether from a ledger system. It also is decentralized but in a different way.
I know there is a big debate on some things IOTA is doing and it appears a bit socialistic. It's an emerging technology and everyone is waiting to see where things will go. It's impossible to predict. I bought a bunch of IOTA back when it was .50 and as you can imagine, I'm very happy so far.
It comes down to this, IOTA wants what we all want. Cheap, and fast communication and transactions. How they get there will be different than the next guy.
Hang on for the ride and be willing to role with the punches.
I wish you much luck, but this is one I will personally not be going in on.
Also, I wouldn't invest based on what the US is adopting or not. I could easily see the US and government authorities outlaw many of these exchanges. I think Kyber, Bitshares and other decentralized exchanges are going to be HUGE once government crackdowns and tracking starts to happen on the centralized exchanges. Kyber is seriously undervalued right now.
As is BitShares, and isn't Binance decentralized?
