Thanks Mr. Donkey here a @ccf ๐ฅ. I know IOTA only from subreddits, where it was always mentioned how overhyped the project was. At most I get some out of solidarity, because from Berlin, but that's it. The growth in wallet addresses and more metrics on developer activity or how much the running apps are used would be good. The lack of transaction costs would be a thorn in my side, but that can be easily fixed. The many promises are already known from ETH and ADA and is not such a problem for me. The high TPS, the non-existent fees and the low power consumption are cool, but that offer umpteen other projects except for the fees. Also, I see the danger of VC funded shitcoins moving faster due to their high funding and more aggressive developer acquisition they could afford. The alternative solution to the blockchain is still mega interesting and who knows maybe IOTA will surprise ๐

@KapriolenSonne Yes, it was definitely overhyped. Even the approach of a ternary instead of a binary system, since that was the future, was completely abspaced. That earned Iota some lasting critics. As written, however, this became much better in the last 1, 2 years and they focused on the more important things that also bring added value today. Conversely, since Iota was so extremely punished, I currently see a favorable BTC/Iota entry price - if you are a bit patient. You can find developer activities of the Foundation itself on GitHub https://github.com/iotaledger. The other metrics you mentioned would also interest me, but at least I haven't found anything official and up-to-date on them. I would be reluctant to refer to any dubious third-party sites that are a year or older. Otherwise, I see it quite similarly. Many promises, especially regarding tps and power consumption, can be found in almost every project. For me, this is therefore a bet on a blockchain 2.0, which either ignites or goes violently in the pants. Therefore, only as an admixture, if you bring the appropriate risk profile.
