IOTA is a long-term investment. A recent interview with the big man in charge rekindled my trust in the currency and its applicability in the market.

Remember, Bitcoin was only worth $1,000 at the beginning of last year. Same as Ethereum, it was well-under $100. Just because IOTA isn't riding the hype wave doesn't mean it's not going to the moon and beyond.

Patience is key -- in ALL crypto. You have to learn the art of the #hodl . And apply it like your life savings depend on it!

Note: Hopefully, no one has their life savings in crypto though. As you saw with Bitconnect, such an idea might not pan out too well. People were taking out 2nd mortgages on their houses for crypto. . .wow.

You can't have a gambler's mentality when dealing with cryptocurrency. You have to be smart about it. You buy low, and you hodl. And IIIIIFFFFF you sell at all, you only sell high ... not while it's embarrassingly low.

The market ALWAYS bounces back as long as the coin exists and as long as the company is doing work.
