You can't go wrong with non-appreciating pump and dump coins which are still at losses over 4 or 8 years. | Coin | Jan.2018 | Sept.2025 |:-----------|:------------:|:------------:| | XRP | ~$3.40 | $3.00 | | IOTA | ~$4.00 | ~$0.19 | https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20180107/ | Coin | April.2021 | Sept.2025 |:-----------|:------------:|:------------:| | HBAR | ~$0.40 | $0.23 | https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20210413/
All nine of the I saw 222 compliant crypto. Starting with XRP, HBAR, IOTA.
XRP, HBAR, IOTA, ALGO, XLM, ADA, QNT, XDC Networks, & COREUM. In that order. All are iso 20022 compliant.
Haha yeah, they’ll show up yelling “FUD” while ignoring Ripple holds half the tokens. IOTA’s over here decentralized, onboarding governments, and actually building no cult vibes needed.
Holding through volatility is fine but XRP’s still a founder heavy monopoly play. IOTA’s decentralized, under the radar, and actually building real world infrastructure instead of lobbying for relevance.
Sell toda? $11M Big difference. There has to be at least an IOTA of regret....at least sediments??!! $1.5M after tax is $1M (great money as its free money) but $11M is generational wealth. Congrats either way stranger!!!YOLO!!! All the best!!!
yeah big gains while founders still hold half the supply and dump whenever they want. IOTA’s decentralized, under $1B cap, and actually building real trade rails with governments instead of hype bags.
yeah pumped bags are fun till founders dump half the supply on everyone. IOTA’s decentralized, under $1B cap, and actually building global trade rails with governments instead of hype cycles.
yeah fair, whether it’s 1/3 or half, the point’s just that big holders can move markets. with IOTA most supply’s already out + a lot staked, so less chance of surprise sell pressure later.
yeah same story every cycle hype flips coins while founders keep half the XRP supply locked up. IOTA’s decentralized, under $1B cap, and actually building global trade rails with governments instead of meme rallies.
solid advice learn the roots. those same principles expose XRP’s founder run monopoly; IOTA’s decentralized and building.
lol perfect metaphor SEC loses texts, XRP founders hold half the supply, nobody’s accountable. IOTA’s decentralized, under $1B cap, and actually building global trade rails with governments instead of clown shows.
hoarding’s fine just weird doing it with XRP where founders hold half the supply. IOTA’s decentralized, under $1B cap, and actually building global trade rails with governments instead of insider bags.
IOTA number one coin to hold.
Best- Shib Worst- Well I have very defined Hard SLs in the system so the loss is always defined. But in the early years there was a coin IOTA. idk if even exists anymore but yes, had some really wild swing liquidations there :)
nice, but XRP ain’t part of that paradise with half the supply in founder hands. IOTA’s decentralized, under $1B cap, and actually building global trade infrastructure with governments instead of hype chains.
true, bitcoin’s the safe set and forget but XRP’s worse than meme coins with founders holding half the supply. IOTA’s decentralized, under $1B cap, and actually building global trade rails with governments.
maybe or maybe the ETFs just give founders another chance to dump on retail. IOTA’s decentralized, tiny cap, and already onboarding governments for real world trade instead of hype cycles.
true, BTC’s the only real “set it and forget it” play but lumping XRP with IOTA misses the mark. XRP’s a centralized monopoly token, IOTA’s quietly digitizing global trade with governments and zero founder stranglehold.
yeah classic top vibes everyone piles in while ignoring that XRP’s basically founder controlled monopoly money. smart folks rotate early into stuff like IOTA where real adoption’s happening and no single guy owns half the network.
Yeah fair, alt season runs on pure FOMO. My point’s more about after XRP’s got constant sell pressure, while IOTA’s mostly circulating + staked, so supply’s way tighter when things calm down.
Yep, the same hype on repeat meanwhile Ripple still owns half the XRP supply and dumps whenever it suits them. If you want a shot at real gains without insider games, IOTA’s the better move.
Ah, Antshares. It's gonna be big like Monero, IOTA, and NANO!
Yeah, can’t argue with that XRP’s main “purpose” feels more like propping up Ripple than building something lasting. At least IOTA’s focused on real adoption instead of just keeping insiders happy.
Same could be said for XRP Ripple still owns half the supply and the “purpose” is just propping up their monopoly. If you want a coin with real utility and decentralization, IOTA’s the better option.
Facts XRP is just Ripple’s monopoly coin with half the supply still in their hands. BTC, ETH, LINK, Pendle all make more sense. If you want another undervalued low cap with real upside, IOTA’s worth adding too.
That strategy works for timing cycles, but XRP always runs last for a reason Ripple still controls half the supply and dictates the pace. You’re just waiting to be their exit liquidity. If you want a safer DCA target beyond ETH, IOTA’s the smarter play.
Maybe but if that “solid project” is XRP, remember Ripple still owns half the supply and dumps whenever it suits them. Any 3–5x just feeds their monopoly. If you want a real underdog with room to run, IOTA’s the better call.
That’s fair plenty of people feel that way, especially after years of promises across the whole space. I just see IOTA as more of a beaten-down long shot, while XRP’s already had its big spotlight. Both could flop, both could surprise depends on what you’re willing to gamble on.
Exactly that’s the sticking point. The hype runs are fun, but Ripple holding the throttle means there’s always that ceiling. IOTA sidesteps that, which is why I see it as a cleaner long term DCA bet.
Exactly ETH has real builders and revenue, while XRP is just Ripple’s monopoly token with half the supply locked in their hands. Nothing unique there, just branding. If you want another project with actual staying power, IOTA’s the better add.
Exactly ADA and XRP both survive on old hype while usage stays weak. Ripple still clutching half the XRP supply just proves it’s a legacy monopoly, not a live network. If you want something actually moving forward, IOTA’s where the real momentum is.
Of course XRP “haters” are just pointing out reality: Ripple still controls half the supply. That’s not hate, that’s centralization 101. If you want something that actually looks good next to ETH, IOTA’s the smarter add.
Yeah, fair Ripple has definitely been more transparent than most projects about how they manage supply, and winning over banks and regulators is no small feat. I don’t see IOTA competing head to head with that reach; its lane is narrower, focused on digitizing trade infrastructure. Different scope: XRP’s already entrenched in payments, IOTA’s more of a long shot bet that governments digitizing customs and logistics pick it up. Both can coexist without stepping on each other.
IOTA definitely isn’t a better play. They’re both trash.
That’s the trap most “crypto advice” is just people pumping their bags, especially with XRP where Ripple still controls half the supply. Hard to trust sources when the coin itself isn’t decentralized. If you want to cut through the noise, IOTA’s worth following since it’s actually about building, not hype.
Exactly XRP is just Ripple’s monopoly token, half the supply locked in their pocket. At that point, you might as well stick with fiat. If you want something truly decentralized and future focused, IOTA’s the better play.
Fair take but that divide exists because XRP isn’t really decentralized, Ripple still owns half the supply and sets the pace. Any pump to $5-10 just gives insiders more room to dump. If you want a long term DCA play without that monopoly risk, IOTA’s the smarter allocation.
Fair just don’t forget that $4 is still Ripple’s game, since they hold half the supply and can dump into any pump. Smart move planning your exit. If you want to roll those gains into something actually decentralized, IOTA’s the better next stop.
Yes Ripple own a shitload but they also have managed the escrow like adults. Unlike BTC where no one knows how much China holds or if Satoshi is gonna wake up and start dumping on the market. Same thing for Eth with their corrupt ICO and token foundry. Allowing disguised whales to purchase as much as they want without disclosing anything. No one knows how much China or JPMorgan owns of Eth. All coins are centralized with massive amounts going to the creators and venture capitalist. Ripple is the only company that's been totally open and transparent from the start. The US government and other banks and around the world have already chosen XRP and you will see that in the coming months. IOTA lol. Iota doesn't have the global reach that Ripple has built over the last 12+ years. Gtfoh
Yeah, XRP dragging late isn’t a signal of strength it’s Ripple timing their dumps from the half of supply they still control. That’s not a cycle play, that’s insider management. If you want an alt that actually runs on adoption, IOTA’s the better bet.
Garlinghouse has been spinning that same story for years “XRP is the future, market to trillions” all while Ripple still controls half the supply. That’s not decentralization, that’s a monopoly token wrapped in PR. If you want a project that could actually thrive in a $25T market, IOTA’s the one quietly building for it.
Enough to know XRP is basically Ripple’s monopoly coin half the supply still in their hands while they lobby banks and regulators. That’s not decentralization, that’s dependency. If you want something that’s actually community driven and still underpriced, IOTA’s the one worth paying attention to.
Yeah exactly, no point going all-in on just one play. A basket makes way more sense in a multi chain future XRP, IOTA, ETH, whatever else, each has its own lane. Odds are more than one of them pays off.
Could be plenty of old names never come back. The only reason I keep an eye on IOTA is because it’s not just running on past hype, it actually has fresh adoption pushes with trade systems. If that fizzles, then yeah, it fades out. If it clicks, it could surprise hard.
I agree with you on XRP, but IOTA won’t matter in future cycles either.
Exactly and XRP’s even worse, because it’s not just hype but Ripple controlling half the supply and calling it decentralized. That’s not a cycle play, that’s a monopoly. If you want something that’ll actually matter in future cycles, IOTA’s the one worth stacking.
XRP can’t be the “future of finance” when Ripple controls half the supply that’s just recreating the same monopoly crypto was meant to escape. The hype is all PR, just like you accuse BTC of. If you want something actually superior and decentralized, IOTA’s where the future’s being built.
That’s the dream XRP maxis keep pushing but underneath it’s still one company hoarding half the supply and drip feeding it out. Partnerships and branding don’t erase centralization, they just disguise it. If you want a project that could actually grow without insiders holding the leash, IOTA’s where the real upside is.
Escrow or not, Ripple still controls that stash half the supply sitting under one company isn’t decentralization. Call it treasury, call it escrow, it’s still a monopoly. If you want a network where value isn’t gated by insiders, IOTA’s the better path.
Garlinghouse has been “predicting” XRP’s big moment for a decade while Ripple sits on half the supply. Cross border payments sound great, but it’s just a monopoly dressed up as utility. If you actually want to ride a real $25T future, IOTA’s the alt with adoption and decentralization behind it.
Yeah that’s the dream spot to be in when you’re deep in profit, it takes the stress out completely. XRP’s been that kind of winner if you held through. I just keep a little in IOTA on the side for that same reason if it ever does its catch-up move, it could be the next one that turns into “all profit no matter where I sell.”
Your account is 7 years old, the last 4 years you have been silent, then 17 days ago you start commenting and every comment is about IOTA. Can you give me a good recipe for chile? Bonus if it includes chicken.
Pretty much Ripple and XRP are joined at the hip, no matter how much maxis pretend otherwise. When one company holds half the supply, the token’s just their monopoly chip. If you want a project that actually adds value without using holders as exit liquidity, IOTA’s the one worth supporting.
True, but even outside the bag bias, XRP’s problem is structural Ripple owns half the supply and steers the market. That’s not decentralization, that’s a monopoly. If you want something you can actually trust long term, IOTA’s a much better option.
I was talk very short term since we’re at the tail end of this bull run. The technology and adoption matters for the macro picture, which I think the market disagrees with you as XRP has been a Top 10 coin since forever. If it had bad tech or bad adoption, the market would have sus’d it out like the hundreds that have come and gone (EOS, MATIC, IOTA, NEO, DASH, etc). If it was a scam or MLM it would have been outed by now (e.g. BCC, OneCoin, HAWK).
That’s a totally fair stance BTC’s the only one that’s truly proven itself over time. I just like having a small side bet on projects like IOTA, since if even one of them sticks with real world adoption, the upside is massive compared to the risk.
Exactly ADA stagnates and XRP is just Ripple’s monopoly token, half the supply still in their hands. Both are dead weight. If you want something actually being used and built on, IOTA’s a way better addition.
Exactly and XRP is basically weaponized FOMO: Ripple hypes “partnerships” while sitting on half the supply. That’s not conviction, that’s exit liquidity. If you want something you can actually research and believe in, IOTA’s the better play.
Couldn’t agree more Ripple hoarding half the supply and dumping on retail isn’t innovation, it’s exploitation. If you want the opposite of that mess, IOTA’s actually decentralized and building real value.
Exactly and honestly XRP fits the same “don’t touch” rule, just on a bigger stage. Ripple insiders farm retail by holding half the supply and drip-feeding hype. If you want to avoid being exit liquidity, IOTA’s where actual building happens instead of welfare economics.
Because retail usually piles in at the hype top perfect exit liquidity for coins like XRP where Ripple owns half the bag. Centralization makes sure insiders always win. If you want in before real adoption, IOTA’s where the opportunity still is.
Hard agree one company hoarding half the supply while dumping on retail isn’t innovation, it’s a scam. If you want the opposite of that setup, IOTA’s actually decentralized and building real value.
Haha yep, IOTA was on all those “next big thing” lists back then. Lived through the hype and the crash now it’s kinda the quiet comeback story with actual infrastructure rolling out instead of just buzzwords.
Exactly skipping Ripple makes sense when half the XRP supply sits in their pocket. That’s not decentralization, that’s a monopoly. If you want something actually built for the long haul, IOTA’s the cleaner option.
Funny thing is, XRP’s the actual pile being propped up by Ripple’s monopoly half the supply still theirs. IOTA at least isn’t run like a company token, it’s decentralized and actually building systems. That’s a big difference.
Exactly XRP’s whole pitch could be replaced by a bank stablecoin tomorrow. The only “edge” Ripple has is holding half the supply and lobbying for relevance. If you want something truly unique and decentralized, IOTA’s building what banks *can’t* replicate.
Wise move shorting XRP just feeds Ripple’s insiders while they drip their half of the supply. Centralized coins are too rigged to fight. If you want exposure without that circus, IOTA’s the cleaner play.
Yeah, smart not to flex stacks especially when half the market’s propped up by coins like XRP. Ripple doesn’t need to “find” you, they just dump their half of the supply on retail. If you want something actually community driven, IOTA’s a safer lane.
Same vibe you get from XRP maxis screaming down critics while Ripple holds half the bag. That kind of obsession only makes sense when centralization needs constant defense. If you want something that doesn’t need a cult to survive, IOTA’s the better choice.
Lol fair, but most XRP threads are already wasted space just Ripple fanboys defending a monopoly. Half the supply in one company’s hands isn’t crypto. If you want something worth the thread count, IOTA’s actually building.
True, plenty of bagholders spinning AI posts especially in XRP threads where Ripple needs noise to mask centralization. Half the supply in one pocket isn’t a community, it’s a monopoly. If you want real people building instead of bots shilling, IOTA’s the better scene.
Yeah, same way Ripple cozies up to regulators and banks to look “legit.” XRP’s whole model is politics first, decentralization last while half the supply sits in Ripple’s pocket. If you want something that wins on building, not lobbying, IOTA’s the better choice.
More the latter slapping Mastercard’s logo next to Ripple’s monopoly isn’t innovation, it’s branding. Half the supply still sits in their pocket. If you want actual adoption baked into real systems, IOTA’s where the building’s happening.
At least you’re keeping XRP in the friend zone it’s basically Ripple’s pet project anyway. Centralization kills the upside. If you want another real builder next to LINK and HBAR, IOTA fits way better.
I swear you IOTA people copy and paste that "Ripple monopoly" line but don't even know what it means
Fair, tools can help but XRP itself is just Ripple’s tool to keep control. Half the supply in one company’s pocket isn’t adapting, it’s centralizing. If you want to back something that’s actually moving forward, IOTA’s the better choice.
Exactly and with XRP it’s even worse since Ripple holds half the supply and calls it stable. That’s just controlled volatility. If you want “promising” tied to actual building, IOTA’s closer to it than anything Ripple’s pushing.
Yep, same playbook Ripple runs cozy up to power, sell the illusion of adoption, keep control centralized. XRP’s whole model is politics over progress. If you want something actually building outside that loop, IOTA’s the better bet.
True, the market loves flipping expectations but XRP’s moves aren’t macro, they’re Ripple dumping on retail. That’s the risk when half the supply sits in one company’s pocket. If you want something that can actually ride cycles on adoption, IOTA’s the better horse.
IOTA is very advanced in tech and is onboarding countries and goverments. Layer1 coin
I get the frustration early IOTA definitely overpromised and the coordinator days left a bad taste. But things have shifted a lot since then: the *Rebased* mainnet went live this year with smart contracts and staking, and the TWIN Foundation with WEF is already running live trade pilots in Africa and Europe. Not hype-y moon talk, just real infrastructure slowly getting adopted.
That’s a solid framework but I wouldn’t even bother giving XRP a 5% slot. Ripple still controls half the bag, so your “satellite” is basically their piggy bank. If you want a smaller-cap with real upside, IOTA makes way more sense in that sleeve.
What's been tokenized on IOTA or what is in the pipeline?
Yeah, ETF hype outside BTC and ETH is mostly cope XRP especially, since Ripple still owns half. That’s not an investment, that’s trusting a monopoly. If you want exposure to something the market hasn’t priced yet, IOTA’s the better angle.
Yeah, the XRP “60k dream” crowd feels like watching FTT and Terra reruns in slow motion. The founders hold the leash, and the cult eats it up until it snaps. If you want real upside without blind faith, IOTA’s where the actual building is happening.
Yeah meme coins will pump, but they’re just casino chips no different than XRP hype plays. Centralized coins eventually burn holders when the insiders pull strings. If you want something with real staying power, IOTA’s the opposite of that noise.
IOTA has not delivered a single thing since it's inception, only lies and deception.
Because “legal clarity” doesn’t change Ripple owning and dumping half the supply. I’d rather hold IOTA decentralized, undervalued, and actually built for the long run.
Haha exactly, all that “good news” and XRP barely twitches because Ripple caps it. I’d rather throw those scraps into IOTA decentralized and actually set up to move.
True, but XRP still lags because Ripple keeps unloading on the market. I’d rather watch IOTA, decentralized and with way more room to climb.
Yeah exactly, ETF hype won’t save XRP when Ripple still controls the supply. I’d rather focus on IOTA decentralized, underpriced, and actually building real adoption.
Good take but just make sure that “literature” isn’t XRP fan fiction, Ripple still owns half. If you want real reading material, IOTA’s worth it decentralized and actually building.
True, most “tech” talk is just noise especially with XRP where Ripple runs the show. I’d still back IOTA though, decentralized and quietly building real infrastructure.
