The thing that is so fun about IOTA is the big drama that always lurks around it. The whitepaper/use case/theoretical possibility/vision for the coin is quite astounding. Now, how far reality is from the vision is the locus of all of the FUD, controversy, FOMO and shit-slinging. We'll see how this one pans out. For me, I've been in for a while and given the sheer amount of activity, partnerships, hype and potential, I don't see how folks wouldn't want to hedge a little bet on this coin taking root in the fabric of the IOT. Like any crypto, if could fail, it could stagnant or it could be a game-changer, that being said, the sheer amount of activity associated with this project makes me want to take on the risk.
