Looks like the pragmatism that was the core of the IOTA foundation from the start has held strong and is looking constantly upwards. I wouldn't expect IOTA to explode, per se, but in terms of reliability... this team will push their work to the very end. Not many cryptos I'd feel as comfortable investing in for the long-long term.
