Since the massive gains of iota in the last few days everyone wants to "invest" in it. The problem is, that most of the people don´t have any clue what it is.
So please.... never "invest" in something, you don´t understand. If you wanna trade it, ok that´s fine...but trading ist not investing. That doesn´t mean you shouldn´t invest in it (i am also an iota-investor) but make your homework first and try to understand it.
Here are some useful links, that will help you to get a better picture of iota and the technology behind it:

"Investing" in something you do not understand will cause you to lose money!
