RE: 💡 RaiBlocks (XRB) - This one is interesting like IOTA is, there might be something to this (really) 💡
I've heard good things about this coin too.
Just concerned that they have no real meaningful partnerships with real world companies and that IOTA is milessssss ahead in that regard.
Yes, the partnerships part got me thinking too and IOTA has so many of those. But the thing is, IOTA is great, but it's not a payment method meant for people. It's not intended to be one which humans use to pay coffee with. You can use it for that, but the intention of IOTA is to be for machine-to-machine IoT payments. Most of the IOTA fans somehow seem to miss that.. in fact it applies to most crypto.. people are too often caught up in the 'better than bitcoin' when it is really 'different than bitcoin'.
RaiBlocks on the other hand is purely meant as a digital payment method for peer-to-peer digital currency: the original vision. It ditches the clutter and attack vectors of smart contracts and such. It utilizes some of the same techniques as IOTA, except it did this a lot sooner than IOTA and the mainnet is running and operational while IOTA is clogged up and nowhere near launching the mainnet without coordinator.
I am definitely not getting rid of my IOTA and have been holding them since $0.28 but I must admit, that if we're talking about Generation 3 blockchains like IOTA and EOS... well.. perhaps one flew under our radar and is already here on the scene? Does that make RaiBlocks a first mover?
I wish the 100XRB limit would be lowered. I could buy it but I don't feel like gambling $400.
I would, however, gamble $100 on this. In today's markets... with the hype and craze for 'the next big thing', I can see this thing go through the roof when it hits a regular exchange.
Thank you for the writeup. Apparently they are also getting listed on Next.Exchange

Their valuation currently is lesser than IOTA since they are not in a major exchange yet. Their development team also seem to be active and present.
