If you want IOTA to grow you got 3 options:
1) Donate to the Foundation
2) Make projects with IOTA, iotas are not magic beans that owe you anything, it is software that is meant to be used for IoT projects
3) Be an active community member that go to IoT meetups and conferences, network, get people interested
Preferably you should do all of the above. The last thing you should do is sit on BTT and complain about something you got no right to complain about. This is my last reply on this subject.
These are something every investor can do to increase the value of IOTA, namely the value of your own assets. As investors, we all need to sit down and seriously think about how to make our investment worth more and valuable instead of just coming to BTT every days to ask questions and wait for the big news coming out and dreaming of other people working hard for this projects.
As we have seen cryptocurrency space evolving, we probably know what to take to make a cryptocurrency valuable. Today there is an article about the startups growth on Ethereum platform (
http://www.coindesk.com/first-ethereum-startup-funding-investor-says/). It is pretty clear that the only way to make a platforms value grow is to have real business and startups built on this platform. Otherwise, it will just be pump and dump and have no sustainable growth.
Now we know the goal growth of the business and startups on IOTA platform. How do we get there? What can each investor do to get there? How can each of us to help to get IOTA connected to programmers and entrepreneurs in IoT space? If you are interested in marketing strategies, what is the most efficient marketing we can do within our budget to get there? These are some serious issues we can think about and act upon.
I dont think we will see projects like IOTA in the future any more, which are high in potentials and low in crowd-sale price. Even if you only invested a small amount money you still have chance to become rich. In todays cryptocurrency world and from now on, even the crowd-sales/ICO of a very average project will cost people millions of dollars. As an average fish, you will never have chance to be rich by investing in those projects.
If you are not a BTC whale, IOTA could be your last opportunity to become rich in the cryptocurrency world. Actually now you as an individual have a chance to make it happen by helping on the testing and the core team, searching, thinking, and researching on the real business opportunities and marketing strategies, getting IOTA connected to more programmers and startups and entrepreneurs in the IoT space , and many more.
