And not enough people saying their position before commenting (i.e: "THIS IS AMAZING TECH BUY IT!"), and on that note Disclosure: I own a large position in IOTA (it's 89% of my crypto portfolio). and yet I still really want the technology to succeed, there's a few problems such as

A) the founders act very childish and lash out at any criticism, while at the same time in audio interviews saying "criticism is good these things need to be discussed at length" but if you put it in text they'll basically troll you.

B) they hype up their own technology too much "THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING", "JUST WAIT UNTIL THIS PART IS DONE".

they need to hire a PR team that will professionally handle releases of information in a non-hyperbolic way and the founders need to keep their mouths shut in public when representing their technology because running around acting cocky and trolling people does not help your cause it actually causes people to want to flee as fast as they can because it makes it seem like you have no clue what you're doing. in a nutshell this is beginning to feel a lot like dogecoin. kids hyping kids, spamming people, and acting foolish as can be.
