Price too high. Also lot of ICO investors ready to dump when launched at exchanges. current OTC price is 30 times ICO price. Not a bargain at all.
Price is always too high for people who don't have any.
Now 1TI cost 12 BTC
Huuuu, the price is very good for investors for sure, they earn 30X, and don't forget bitcoin is 4-5X of end in 2015, so IOTA has increased more than 120X in fiat.
Nxt was X2000 in less time. Many didn't want to buy because it was a bit expensive from their point of view, and thought they had plenty of time.
