I do not agree or disagree with you on this one mate, I haven't really looked at Iota myself. I do appreciate hearing your views and upvoted accordingly.
Do you think it's possible that one of the big companies you were referring to might look to acquire Nautilus as protection?
I agree that many big companies in a wide range of industries will see the potential to, and value in, developing their own crypto. Is it possible that Apple (for example) might acquire Iota just to protect themselves against Microsoft (for example) beating them to market with a viable alternative?
RE: IOTA will not last because it will not get collectively adopted.
