Haha yep sell em while you can at 25x price before they hit exchanges and are selling for 5x IPO price... It's almost cruel! Good job guys, well done.

Let's analyze the price of IOTA:

AA/ 25 X IPO price is not something crazy in crypto world, ethereum currently X 70 / NXT was X 1000 / Bitcoin itself got value X 10.000 and more since 1st trades thought there was no IPO as everybody knows.

BB/ even at 25C IPO price market cap is around 12-13 millions $ which is not THAT huge and crazy for crypto, thought it become important.

CC/ IOTA could solve scalability problem / quantum resistant issue (if you follow science news, you can see that issue is growing day after day), it is 1st mover into IOT payment as crypto and can work with other blockchain like ethereum (not competitor but more as partner), this is why I invested a little bit in IOTA as it seemed something really needed in crypto world.

DD/Why did I invest only a little bit as it is sooo good? Because I was a bit affraid of the possibility to really do this coin as it is promised, however now IOTA is on AZURE so a partnership with microsoft means according to me that the technology behind IOTA is working, THIS CHANGE TOTALLY the value of the coin. If I knew that I would have invested much more like most of the people I guess.

EE/Most of the investors of IOTA are on this thread and can already sell their IOTA via escrow and / or NXT AE, some decided to sell and the price where it becomes difficult to match buyer and seller seems to be around 25X IPO price, under this price at around 10-15X IPO you will find a buyer instantly, there was even a buy of 10 millions IOTA for 250 BTC.We are not talking on a GATECOIN exchange where only a tiny share of coins (ethereum) was available so price could jump,( finally the price now of ether is 5X more that it was on gatecoin before ether launch) but most of the investors could sell now their IOTA for a 10X profit for sure.

FF/Now we have 3 types of IOTA holder :

-1/ IPO investors who want to sell at around 25X IPO price, trades are not that easy at this price, but some happen (theses one will probably sell their IOTA on exchange at around 10-30 X IPO price If someone make the calculation of the number of IOTA involved in this situation we would have a clear picture but I guess it is less than 5% of total IOTA )

-2/IPO investors who don't even want to sell at 25X IPO price (most of the coins), theses ones will probably wait for higher prices to sell their IOTA 50 X IPO price and higher.

-3/2nd hand investors who bought at 10-30X IPO price (theses ones will obviously not sell at same price.

==> if there is a lot of demand at exchange as the supply will be low the price could skyroket again.

To sum up my thoughts if you already have IOTA just keep them but don't buy more, however if you don't have any IOTA regarding the last news you should invest 2-5% of you crypto savings in IOTA now and the same amount at the exchange when available if the price drops, for me that would be a wise decision.
It is always dificult to buy 20X more expensive but you could miss the train and you will regret it for years whereas loosing 3% of your crypto savings will not change a lot of things....Look at ethereum if you bought it at 3$...

1 rule in crypto always have a share even a little share in any interesting project, a lot will fail but those who win will get 100-10.000X ROI
