    MIT Media Lab: 'we certainly disagree with reporter Michael Orcutt’s assertion that IOTA is “secure."' https://www.media.mit.edu/posts/iota-response/ … DAGchain and "tangle" tech is very promising, but the implementations I've seen so far have underwhelmed.

        Progress only happens when smart people go against the opinion of the majority. In 1912 Alfred Wegener was treated like a madman when he suggested that the continents are drifting. Reminds me of IOTA and all the hate we see everyday by the "majority" of blockchainers.

        ‘ a Bitcoin user can also mine their own block to get their transactions accepted into the blockchain without paying fees. ‘ this statement alone by #MIT destroys their entire claim to understanding cryptocurrencies.

        @NickSzabo4 Please fud professionally by providing your refutes towards these responses by IOTA core developer. https://twitter.com/c___f___b/status/943580340890882049 … You got time to FUD about it then you better have time to respond to the refutes. IF YOU DO NOT DO SO, WE SHOULD ALL CONSIDER THIS AS BULLSHIT.

        quoting an article with the worst quality content with loads of misinformation is not the best way to explain your opinion about the tangle

        Maybe @NickSzabo4 should present some fact based evidence for his claims rather than post one side of a story and something vague like "underwhelmed".

        What's been underwhelming? Curious because as a new user in the crypto world (3 months now), I've been able to work the wallet, comprehend the goals, and watch the beta tech grow. What stands out as underwhelming vs bch drama, btc fees, xrp, etc.

        I don`t get it. Why all the fud against IOTA? There are small issues that have to be solved, but the technology behind IOTA is just impressive. With all the developments and partnerships there will be a hughe impact in the world of IoT.

        Greed and jealousy is the explanation. A lot of people have significant stakes (not necessarily ownership) in blockchain technology and they have a lot to loose if the attention switches to IOTA.
