Wow, what a dump Shocked

I haven't seen iota been so cheap for a very long time.

You know that feeling when you realize you ate something off, your guts are churning, and you know your digestive tract is about to open up and purge from both ends ... that's where Iota was a couple of days ago after the leaked conversation, the market digested the news, and some weak hands have now dumped from both ends, and the price is in the toilet, relatively speaking.

Once the news is fully digested the market will recover, some people lost confidence in the current setup and dumped, others will soon see an opportunity to get in cheap. Just the usual churning of ownership, the tech fundamentals are still the same, and as long as the business partners don't lose confidence in the foundation things will blow over soon, and we end up with CfB and Popov on the board, and maybe Dom waits a little while and exits gracefully with a huge stash of Iota and buys a yacht and retires at 22.

Maybe CfB and Dom make up, but if one of them leaves it'll obviously be Dom, and he probably gets replaced by a seasoned corporate veteran who ticks all the boxes for Bosch and VW, so not a bad result.

IOTA already lost many strong implementation partners (SatoshiPay, Sirin Labs).
Also it is not listed in Bosch's VC Portfolio any more, who knows if they already dumped their discounted tokens.
Because of their rudeness they also lost strong business partners, e.g. Mr Bussmann / Crypto Valley and this asian based guy (dunno the name now). Both are strong business networker.

I think we don't have to discuss about the recent leak of internal fights... which is only the tip of the iceberg

The network made zero progress this year, the hyped Q project is just a vision.

The whole crypto market is beginning to crash after bitcoin lost its last chance to form a bull market out of this triangle.

If the tech works nobody cares about anything else, as long as everything is legal, and with Iota foundation the legal setup with Iota is best in crypto. Being rude isn't illegal, and neither are embarrassing leaks about who is behind the leadership controls at any point in time.

big partners are like everyone else following IOTA, interested enough in the tech to stay engaged while we all wait to see if the tangle can scale with zero fees. The recent drama is actually being shielded by the crypto wide bear market, if this happened during a bull it would be much more severe reaction.

Iota is years from maturing, I expect slow progress.

the problem is that the tech is not working and will not working in the near term. big partners are just experimenting and also with other cryptos. Also they will choose the best option which is at the moment not IOTA.
regarding legal issues.... look closely into the leaked script, search for IOTA AS...
