Interesting technology. I do have a small issue with it though.
The only way to get IOTA would be to purchase it with Fiat. That means a direct currency exchange. There is no way to 'earn' it like you would with a Blockchain technology.
Shouldn't all transactions incur a fee of some sort to keep the flow of currency moving? Otherwise there is no balance.
I'm all for freedom and decentralization, but there has to be a balance to ensure that currency continues to flow around the system and not hoarded by a few purse holders.
If a purse holder only spends a small amount, and a fee is charged, then that fee gets put back into circulation. This means a purse holder can't completely dominate the market.
Does that make sense?
RE: IOTA has partnered up with over 20 companies like Inc., Microsoft, and Fujitsu. Does that mean companies are preferring the potential of tangle and IOTA over blockchain?
