I think they have different goals and can both flourish--AFAIK Porsche is using Vechain and VW (Porsche is part of VW) is using IOTA, so even within the same corporation they are working beside each other. It wouldn't be suprising to see more cooperation between next gen cryptos going forward as they all have a stake in seeing the tech adopted by more and more corporations.

IOTA could have a good future but it needs to be on more exchanges. I use a number of exchanges and only one lists it. Needs to be in the crypto news more.

That's a noob-tax. If you want to pay it, that's your business.

if iota would finally spend a super functioning wallet then the course goes far to the top. such a great token and then such a bad wallet is not good. The price could be 300% better then

Perhaps because it went down pretty much the other day? Just an upwards correction

What is the reason for today's rise. There are good news from IOTA. It will improve more.

iota is a really good coin showing rapid growth thanks to the innovative transaction system of Tangle. It allows you to make transactions without commissions. But now it has become difficult to tie a purse, this is most likely due to the big buzz around the coin.

Nice write-up on VW's interest in IOTA: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.com-magazin.de%2Fnews%2Finternet-dinge%2Fvolkswagen-kuendigt-zusammenarbeit-iota-an-1476781.html&edit-text=&act=url
