IoT toothbrushes will be able to sense gum disease, cavities and so on via sensors, not to mention analyse your saliva for things like cancer, while also tracking your brushing. There are plenty of IoT use-cases for toothbrushes.

You obviously have not thought deeply on IoT yet. Any purchased object that is always needed, like a toothbrush, will sense when it is close to needing replacement, then self order. Expect to have IoT capabilities on every can, packet, and bag in every supermarket within 10 years. Who likes grocery shopping?

In what type of make-believe reality do you guys live in?  99.9999% of the people in the world are lucky if they have teeth and can barely afford a regular toothbrush let alone an IoT Toothbrush that detects gum disease, analyzes your saliva for cancer, and reorders replacement heads.

Yet somehow everyone seems to have smartphones?

Come from Beyond is claiming that Iota only requires a 16KB microprocessor to make txs and broadcast. That kind of hardware is dirt cheap.

Come-from-Beyond also claims that he doesn't have a smartphone.  Most people live hand-to-mouth and can barely afford their cellphone bill.  The only reason most people have smartphones is because to function you have to have some type of communication device and they are almost exclusively all that is available for purchase and supported anymore.  There is also a "coolness" factor that has been superimposed upon them by the manufacturers.  Good luck attaching a "coolness" factor to a toothbrush.

What you have here is an international communist (Uniqueorn/David aka Triangle/iotatoken) who is trying to convince everyone to invest (although he claims that "it's *NOT* an investment") in an IoT currency (He also claims that it's not a currency) which will allow the preorder of toothbrush replacement heads for a toothbrush that only the 1% (him and his politburo buddies) can afford to purchase.  In what type of screwed up world does this make sense?

You know that just because there is a new door not everyone have to walk through, but some are willing to, so why not ?!

For the example of "intelligent" toothbrushes, they are already there: http://www.oralb.com/products/electric-toothbrush/bluetooth-toothbrush.aspx
