Here is a single drawback inherited by almost any cryptocurrency from original Bitcoin algorithm (related to the term blockchain): as transaction volume grows the calculation complexity increases as well. The more popular coin becomes the less number of transactions per second is possible. Bitcoin grew so much that only 8 transactions per second available for anywhere in whole world. Think about it - this cryptocurrency is useless now for use as an actual currency in online stores for wide use. The delays are ridiculious if you would like to send bitcoin anywhere. This situation will even become worse overtime.
IOTA is different from this prospective, the number of transactions per second is unlimited. As long as other factors are covered (such as security holes, trust by users to dev team, bug fixes with the second transaction erasing first unconfirmed transaction, etc) this coin has a bright future. But there is also possibility that developers won’t improve it and some other better coin with frequent transaction scalability comes out and IOTA will loose momentum as the result.

The head of Internet of Things @Amazon AWS just tweeted about IOTA...

#IOTA is the first distributed ledger technology (DLT) to go beyond a #blockchain — it enables machines to securely transact data and money with each other for a micro fee. Imagine a car that, from sensor data, retrieves information about a malfunctioning car part. #connectedcars

That is why I used “almost” in my first sentence

Are the KYC addresses listed in the blogpost (https://blog.iota.org/claims-and-reclaims-finalization-e692844c505a) the old addresses of the old seeds or the new addresses of the new seeds where the foundation should send the tokens in this reclaim process?

This is important to know because afaik there's no way to know what your old addresses with the old seeds were anymore unless you for some reason had written them down somewhere.

Thanks for asking that question. I considered it would be the new adresses, didn't even think about the possibility it could be the old ones. I thought i was secure because my new address wasn't on the list. Now i have to search for the old address. OMG how stupid am i, of course it has to be the old one

It seems big sell orders have been filled. Big buys are coming in now. It will bounce up and down today but by the end of February it will be over $5. Sure of it. Hold. Short term traders please move along, nothing here for you.

Bifinex is not accepting new users for awhile. And now Binance is not accepting new user registration! They say “Due to the overwhelming surge in popularity, Binance will have to temporarily disable new user registrations to allow for an infrastructure upgrade. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.” at the support section.
It looks like new users neither can buy IOTA nor sell it.
That is not a good situation. Can it be listed on stable american exchange? Kraken.com for example?
