Everytime i am not participating in a moon (just sold my district0x back for iota), I hold iota's: steady, least manipulated/most natural price rise. I went all in district0x pre-moon and sold them at current peak, moved everything back to bitfinex and bought some more IOTA's.
I believe IOTA is the only good long term crypto investment where it's even safe to look at the price once a month. Because the word of IOTA didn't even get around the whole altcoin investor community yet, probably less than 20% of altcoin investors understand how radically different IOTA is from all the other coins technology wise. In the long term, the competition is simply about the most efficient distributed & decentralized ledger. People also still have to figure out that all of these specialcoins are bullshit. Yes, a distributed & decentralized ledger can be useful for lots of services other than a currency. But it doesn't need to be combined. (the public doesn't prefer a different currency for hard drive sharing services, the public doesn't prefer a different currency for a "supercomputer", most hilariously: the fucking public doesn't fucking need a different currency to pay porn or buy video games or go to the fucking dentist).
It's all about this:
-The most secure decentralized & distributed ledger
-The most scalable decentralized & distributed ledger
-The fastest decentralized & distributed ledger
-The least energy consuming decentralized & distributed ledger
Iota beats the whole fucking market on these 4 points
Current market cap is all smart money. IOTA hasn't experienced 1/100th of the hype of ethereum. Even NEO has much more mainstream coverage than IOTA. It still needs to be added to different exchanges. There is only future in IOTA.
