Can anyone link to some measured and informed articles written about IOTA? It seems it's worth researching because it could be the next Ethereum, worth investing a lot in, or could just fizzle out in a while. The total supply is in the billions and $4 would really be the top if there isn't serious potential. I have heard some bad things about how they handled mistakes in their code, parts of the network is centralized but that is only at the beginning to keep it secure. The microsoft deal was spread as a partnership but may just be that microsoft is going to have a meeting with the iota developers. Is there any certainty they will develop smart contracts on the iota chain. If so it could actually contend with Ethereum.
I'd really like to see that press release or whatever that states that there is a partnership with Microsoft (from Iota). That picture with some text on it posted on page 1 is 70% BS. Do your own research!
Also don't compare it to Ethereum. Has nothing to do with it. When it comes to price development, maybe.
Supply is pretty similar to Satoshis. Smart contracts are probably to come. When? No one knows.
I think no team in crypto has ever achieved so many partnerships and cooperations.
