I'm curious as to what's pumping the IOTA price so high? I've held IOTA for months, having to go through several recoveries with each new wallet update, and 6-12 hour transaction times trying to get it back to an exchange. In the end I sold the lot due to the frustrations with the platform. The idea is great, but it doesn't feel anywhere near ready for prime time. Am I missing some amazing news that justifies the pump, or is just market manipulation?
BUYER BEWARE 12/05/2017: I feel something is going very awry with this company. The transfer of my coins from wallet to exchange have been unconfirmed for over 24 hours now. Others have complained about the same issue with confirmations extending beyond 5 days! They are allowing people to buy IOTA but not sell it. Both Binnance and Bitfinex are experiencing the same issues. Absolutely no help is/was offered or addressed by IOTA.
The IOTA forum/message board has been disabled on CoinMarketCAP, and they have no email or anything for help. They have not even added to the conversation on github to address the matter.
Update: 12/02/2017
All in all it took 4 days to get my coin confirmation(s). I never got any support or help from Iota. Nonetheless, they promptly closed out my post on github to conceal the truth about their lousy network. Still... many others with no coin-confirmations for days,weeks, and months.
Final conclusion, this coin is being severely pumped and manipulated... Iota message board back up now on CoinMarketCap. Do not be flattered by their big endorsements- it's all hype! an empty shell is what you will get.
