I agree with this -
the timing is good. There are several promising techs/coins which have not risen as much as they could and have plenty of room to grow. I suspect IOTA is one of them.
The recent Taipei news confirm this is a promising tech, be thankful you're in early and can buy it now at a discount before the
early majority start overlooking the current downtrend and jump on board.
Chances are in just a few years you'll look back gratefully on your crypto position.
