Does $IOTA still stand a chance, technologically speaking?
Once upon a time, it was supposed to be revolutionary – a network with zero fees, perfect for the Internet of Things (IoT). Fridges were supposed to pay for electricity themselves, and microtransactions would fly instantly across the Tangle. Sounds familiar? Yeah… like science fiction🙆♀️💨👀
Over the years, we've seen: – no real decentralization (the Coordinator controlled everything),
– custom-made cryptography (full of bugs),
– a roadmap from hell (constantly changing),
– and a completely lifeless ecosystem (nobody builds on it).📉📉🐒
Today we have $SOL integrating with AI, $TIA going modular, rollups exploding, DePINs, RWAs, memecoins hitting half a billion market cap… and IOTA is still talking about "IoT" like it’s 2017.🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️
Not saying it can’t do a 2x during the next alt season (2029)– even dead things bounce sometimes.🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️
But in terms of tech adoption? That train has left the station a long time ago.
