I got onboard just yesterday. And I’m learning much about IOTA still. What drove me to it was mainly this article regarding BOSCH, Volkswagen, Orange and Samsung:

However,
1) to my surprise I paid the price of what IOTA was worth one month ago. In other words, IOTA missed the big wave that took place end of 2017. It just had a small jump in price then got back to where it was, contrary to reputed AltCoins trend. 
2) Add to that looking back in history, I see the price made very little improvement since its launch.
3) I found comments from disappointed ex-supporters in IOTA.
4) Add to that negative recent reviews on social media about the team behind IOTA not being able to deliver, and the system isn’t working for those who tested it; i.e. I refer here to M.I.T.

Can someone enlighten me if I’m missing something, or am I just lucky to get onboard at this price/time?

Thank you in advance.
