If you think I'm wrong about iota/computer science/reality then the only rational response is to buy as much iota as you possibly can.

Please do that instead of filling up my mentions and DMs with naive cryptographic understandings & extortion attempts.

Seriously $0.27 for a million iotas would be a bargain for a stake in a token that would change everything we know about decentralized systems.

Think how rich and smug you could be in a future where I am proven wrong.

Personally, I think there is a very good reasons that many iota fans begin their criticisms of me with "I don't have experience in cryptography/distributed systems/computer science"

And it's clearly because they see something I don't see. Buy. Buy. Buy

This is definitely the exact opposite of investment advice.

Seriously, go read coordicide.iota.org and then contrast with my critique - if you think I'm wrong, then the only rational response, given the current market, is to buy as much cheap iota as possible, because Iota are claiming to have solved a fundamental problems:

Read those amazing promises.

" IOTA’s solution does not compromise decentralization in any way."

"finality in seconds without having to wait for confirmations by external entities"

They have published papers and everything, they have code being written as we speak. If I am wrong, this is one of the most under priced assets in history. It would be almost criminal not to spend everything you have for even the tiniest stake.

Any seconds you spend not working on acquiring more iota would be economically irrational.

Feeless, totally decentralized, scalable consensus...at those prices?!

I promise this will be my last thread making fun of iota until they inevitably come up with a new plan and demand my attention again. I hear there is a video coming out which explains *everything* and why I'm silly to criticize their random oracle implementation.
