The more I research Iota the more convinced I become that this protocol will become the Top dog of cryptocurrency in the fullness of time.
There is plenty of (fear uncertainty and doubt) FUD being created by some who no doubt have their own agenda. Why else spread misinformation about this new (still in beta) technology.
The upside may be that the price is slightly suppressed which is great for me as it is allowing a substantial strengthening Of my Iota portfolio
An example of what you can do with Iota p2p is Iotatipbot. This allows tipping of authors using reddit and the amount can be as little as say 1 miota (currently around 50cents) and as there are no fees it becomes viable to do. Try doing that with bitcoin. Yes you can send 50cents of bitcoin but the fee would probably be minimum $1.50
Anyway to finish on a positive note I love bitcoin as a store of value at the moment even though it faces some challenges moving forward and ICOs are good too as long as they have some minimum supervision to protect investors from those who would commit fraud.
Knowledge is power so arm yourselves well from the cup of good information and you will soar. Peace be with You always
