Topic: IOTA Crowdsale - page 20. (Read 182701 times)

I don't know in what reality do you live in but most active buyers after a coin hits the first major exchange are the same people who took part in IPO because they are truly believers. But they chinese and whales come who dump at x3-x5 and go celebrate. Then if the tech behind the coins is solid steady climb starts, but it might take months to go back even to the same x2-x3. And if there are any problems the price might go below the IPO.

Also if the price doesn't jump fast even long time holders have to sale because some of them need money to pay rent and stuff.

There is literally not a single person that would sell you any at that price. 20th is BEHIND bytecoin and Nem that are pointless projects. I have a friend that is selling 10+ million IOTA (his entire crowdsale wallet) for around 100 BTC (prob a little less since he really needs the money) because he's fallen on hard times (hospital bills). Only as a single sale though, with escrow through the IOTA dev team (he's willing to pay for escrow). 

if you need speak speculation price plz post here   https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/iota-iota-speculation-1360660

and if you need invitation Ryver, Just sent me MP your email  

PS: Sorry my english not good, if dont know héhé  

End of December I would have thought about this offer. But I like IOTAtokens approach: Try to find a way of using it. Enable the availability of IOTA things. This will take time and so I try to be an active part in the community in Ryver and hold my few million IOTA the long term. I’m quite confident we will achieve something. And with an adoption in practice the price will also be in the right direction. But it’s than covered by something real, not just the short pump and dump speculation.

0.00001 BTC for one IOTA puts it to 20th place by market cap. One should be crazy to buy in at that price before even the beta.

I'm willing to buy any amount between 300K and 1M for 1/3 of that price, so I'm buying 1M for 3.5 BTC. Please PM me if you're interested.

Me. But it's unrelated to Iota, a modified SHA-3 could be used instead.

Yes, CfB is the man behind SaM algo.

Speculators please make your own thread


IOTA is software that is intended for usage, it's not some magic asset that will make you rich just because you deposited some btc into a btc address. If you want the software to gain value you should actively participate in the community in a productive manner.

Here are some suggestions:

1) Make prototypes. If you are a developer or engineer you should already now start brainstorming on use cases. Use cases that may just be for fun to show off the technology or use cases that may evolve into a start-up. If you're not a developer you should seek out people you know that are experimenting with tech over at DIY places like www.hackaday.com, www.instructables.com and www.raspberrypi.org/forums and tell them about IOTA and how it may apply to their projects.

2) Make promotional / instructional material. Documentation is key to adoption.

3) Contact companies that deal in IoT that you believe will benefit from IOTA

4) Scour Twitter for IoT/Blockchain/Crypto relevant posts and market IOTA to them.

5) Locate events near you www.iotevents.org or www.meetup.com/topics/internet-of-things/ We will supply the presentation and drill you in the material so that you can present it with confidence.


These are the things that are important right now, not what the price will debut at. Ethereum is over 2 years old as a concept and project, they got hundreds of devs, lots of investors, connections to companies, tons of press, attending tons of events, having meet-ups etc. so comparing IOTA to it and speculating on the price vs Ethereum is just ridiculous beyond description.

Don't worry. Usually, I'm right   

It was CfB, as far as I know.

It was created by two of us, of course   

Sorry 

You better be right mthcl!!!!!! 

@CfB, Did you develop the SaM hash algorithm, or did someone else?

It might, but I doubt it.  Nxt had 21BTC invested, Iota has 1300BTC. I think it will hover around $5mil (or 10x) marketcap until there is significant news or a general pump.

People keep forgetting that math behind Iota was created by mthcl...

We are already at 10x

No. I don't see IOTA at $150 million, but then again. I don't see Ethereum being worth $300 million either. Not yet, for both.

You see IOTA at "possibly" 150,000,000+ market cap? That makes no sense to me right now. We are still a small community and there will be a crazy amount of work to do to get that high - let's not get ahead of ourselves.

If CFB is right and this technically is sound, then we could explode upwards past the moon - but, bring the expectations closer to earth for now. If we get 10x ICO price, I will be more than happy with how well things are going and how well outsiders are taking interest.

I'm a long term holder also.

Buying IOTA through the NXT asset exchange is a major technical hurdle for 90% of potential buyers. I foresee IOTA over $25 million at launch, perhaps as high as 50% of Ethereum. Doesn't matter to me though, I will hold for the long haul. Value wise it's really hard to pinpoint but I would argue that bottom dollar should be around $25-$50 million for opportunity value alone considering the new tech and huge application field. When we have hardware in place, and some projects release the sky is really the limit.

Of course if the price does what NXT did when it launched then it will be another 10x the current Nxt asset price for comparison.

47,610047 times less, but what is important is mc
IOTA mc will be much higher then a DCR mc, but who knows.

I have IOTA's, i have DCR and i'm not selling it.
Big difference between IOTA and DCR is that IOTA is new tech, DCR isn't.

i'm long time holder
