The concept of the Internet of things has been put forward many times, and many coins are doing it, but it is impossible to judge the advantage of the coin from a technical point of view

I didn't express "some of my views" I just expressed the common view among experts, the faculty opinion about global warming.

Why is this even discussed?

Who is a climate change denier and has any proof besides conspiracy-websites and youtube videos?

I have a degree in physical geography, I fucking calculated the IPCC data myself, with my own hands and eyes.

I assessed the stratigraphy of soil layers and made carbon tests, I visited a monitoring-area and assessed c3/c4 plants that are changing due to the climate change, what did the fucking climate deniers do?

People that try to discuss the topic as if there was a different truth, can stay the fuck off my channel, this is the biggest Republican hypocrisy I've ever seen.

btw: no personal insult to you john_paul. I'm just reacting to the climate deniers everywhere. Already 4 that commented on my videos and I have no idea why.

Web payment is huge.

I don't understand with the amazing project this is you don't bother to get in in bittrex or poloniex but instead you have it in a shit exchange, I don't really understand you guys,,,,it goes beyond my understanding, This can go above $1 if you have it in a decent exchange

Sorry to be honest I don't like the look of bitfinex, its very confusing trading there and is not the best for IOTA. IOTA will never grow if you keep it only there.

G20 law and economy expert Dr. Julie Maupin joined IOTA foundation - https://blog.iota.org/welcome-julie-maupin-to-iota-14b9ac92478f

London stock exchange news mentioned IOTA -

It will be in other exchanges soon, just be patient if you don't wanna buy at bitfinex or ydx. It's not that easy to implement for the exchanges since this a new technology - no plug&play here. Iota-Team is willing to help but is not pushing it to get to other exchanges. This is no pump and dump coin.

Seems like Dr. Maupin will be working on smart contracts for Iota

A lot of good news for Iota right now.

I just wanted to give a word of advice for people who are trying to wrap their brains around what the IOTA token 'should be worth' and it's potential for growth.

I like to think of this way.

Take the total number of IOTA tokens (talking M tokens) which is 2,777 million and divide that by the total number of bitcoin tokens there will ever be (21 million).

This means there are 132 M-iota tokens for each one bitcoin.

Since one IOTA token is, at the moment, worth 0.26 USD, that means to own a share of IOTA tokens equivalent to one bitcoin works out to $34 USD.

So, IOTA tokens are currently trading at the equivalent of a $34 bitcoin and, to wrap your brain around volatility, over the weekend it was as low as $20.

I think it is helpful to think about IOTA tokens this way.  If it ever, some day, became 'as big as bitcoin is today', where 132 M-IOTA tokens would be worth $2,060, that would be an additional 60x growth.

That said, it's probably a bit too pie-in-the-sky dreaming to think that will ever be the case.  I mean, it could happen, but I wouldn't count on it.  I would say that this should probably just be your mental idea of 'moon' someday for IOTA.

All that said, most people would be absolutely thrilled to just see a 2x to 5x growth over a coupe of year period and if IOTA gets any traction, that probably isn't an insane expectation.  It's already been 2x higher than it is now once before.

The reality is, no matter how awesome the IOTA tech is, it still needs some kind of adoption network effect to ever go anywhere.  Right now, virtually no one seems to know about it, it's only traded on one exchange, so it still feels 'very early' on this thing.

Personally, I've been a bitcoin maximalist.  This is the first alt-coin I have ever made a significant financial investment in.    The main reason for me is due to the fact that the underlying tech is so radically different than a conventional blockchain.

Time will tell.
