hey guys,
i'm new to the forum and iota is one of the coins i'm most excited about
what really sold me on iota is this interview with one of the founders - https://soundcloud.com/arthurfalls/ether-review-69-iota-the-post-blockchain-era
he seems like a solid guy and explains the tech quite well.
i'm surprised that upon searching for posts on iota in this forum, there are many posts from 1 to 2 years ago of people thinking iota is a scam and being very frustrated. can someone explain to me why?

lots of people thought Bitcoin was scam in the early time too. Even today, some people still think so. Same to Ethereum. People's hearts go with people's treasures and people's intelligence goes with people's hearts.

You can always tell how legitimite a project is by the number and intensity of haters present.

Haters would not waste their time if they were not afraid of the impending and inevitable disintermediation.

IOTA has tons of haters who spend their most valuable commodity (their time left in their life as it ticks away never to return). This shows us how valuable and viable IOTA is as a disintermediator.

You should have seen the mountains of ETH haters who ranted daily about how ineffective ETH would be even as it blasted billions in market cap.

Bitcoin haters are governments like Bolivia (what does THAT tell you).

One of the metrics that I use to judge the validity of a project is the amount and intensity of the hate, and BTC wins hands down, however, if you look at percentage of haters vs holders, then it's possible that IOTA has the max metric. What does this mean in our scientific analysis?

Stay tuned.....

for the next episode....

your logic has no basis. there are as much hate on scam coins as there are on legit ones so imo your argument basically doesnt say anything substantive.

why didnt the founder and devs show their profiles on the website. eth founders were very transparent right off the bat.

and why dont they list on other exchanges. why only on bitfinex which wont serve us customers soon. this is the most puzzling part for me.

so many issues with wallets as well.

however, i do like the fact that they are adding more and more people to the team. and thats a good thing.
