yeah, I get the hesitation XRP is aiming for big things with RippleNet, but it’s still all about ripple’s control. IOTA, though, is decentralized and actually building real world value without relying on one company’s moves. It’s about long term sustainability, not just hype.
yeah, XRP’s price is way too influenced by ripple’s decisions. If you’re looking for a better option that actually follows the chart patterns and builds organically, IOTA’s the one to watch. No single company pulling the strings, just real decentralized growth.
Totally agree! Cash flow, user adoption, and utility are what make the difference in the long run. IOTA’s got real world applications in global trade already, especially with TWIN and government partners. It’s scaling, and adoption is growing. I think once that utility continues to show up, investors will start recognizing the value, and the rally will follow.
I see where you're coming from, but it’s worth noting that IOTA is in a really strong position when it comes to being a decentralized and regulatory friendly project. While XRP still faces hurdles with centralization concerns, **IOTA’s tech stack** and **global partnerships** with entities like the **World Economic Forum** and **Tony Blair Institute** put it in a position where it’s already building out real world infrastructure for trade, customs, and logistics without a single entity controlling the network. IOTA’s adoption is growing globally with **government backed projects** and compliance friendly features like **Self Sovereign Identity** and **Digital Product Passports**, which should allow it to navigate regulatory frameworks much more smoothly than centralized projects. So in terms of future proofing, **IOTA** is really positioning itself as the backbone of **global trade** rather than focusing just on payments like XRP.
Decentralisation isn’t binary. Bitcoin whales can move markets but can’t rewrite the protocol. HBAR’s governance is transparent and rotating across global enterprises, which is arguably stronger than IOTA’s years of relying on a central Coordinator. Real utility comes from adoption, not just ideology, and that’s where Hedera is ahead.
Not listed on an exchange in my country. I’m well aware of IOTA. Thanks.
I like IOTA conceptually, but what matters most is cash flow, user base, and utility. Those things will attract large investors and cause rallies.
I didn’t say anything about XRP or IOTA.
Has anyone kept up with IOTA the last couple of years?
"Soon" chains like Flare can definitely hype things up, but remember, XRP is still ultimately controlled by ripple. If you're looking for something with real decentralized growth, IOTA's already building and actually being adopted without a central authority pulling the strings.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are solid, but both have their centralized elements, especially Ethereum with its reliance on miners and now staking pools. XRP is even more centralized, with ripple controlling it. IOTA stands out as a true decentralized alternative, focusing on long term adoption and utility without the founder control.
HBAR’s got potential, but it’s still got centralized elements. If you're looking for something truly decentralized with real utility, IOTA's the better choice it’s building without a single company controlling the system.
Ergo’s got a solid setup with active dev and real use cases, but don’t forget, XRP’s basically just ripple’s playground. If you want a truly decentralized coin with more long-term upside, IOTA’s the one, quietly building without any central control or insider games.
true, Bitcoin has the strongest long term track record, but don't sleep on decentralization XRP is still controlled by ripple, and that’s a massive risk. IOTA’s the better choice if you want a decentralized coin that’s actually building sustainable value without a central authority pulling the strings.
ADA, XRP, and NEXO all have potential, but they're still tied to centralized control in some way. XRP, for example, is entirely in ripple’s hands. IOTA, on the other hand, is decentralized and building for long-term adoption without any single company calling the shots.
true, when the market turns, everything moves but ADA, AVAX, and even XRP are still centralized in their own ways. IOTA’s where the real decentralized potential is, quietly setting the stage for long-term value without all the founder control.
Hedera’s solid, but even it has centralized elements. XRP’s the same controlled by ripple. If you want a truly decentralized project that’s flying under the radar, IOTA’s where you should be looking.
solid predictions, but betting on XRP just means handing power back to ripple’s monopoly. IOTA's a better move decentralized, with real utility and adoption building outside of the centralized hype.
solid picks, but be cautious with XRP it’s too centralized for long-term growth. IOTA’s the underdog, quietly building decentralized infrastructure and real-world use cases, without the founder control of some of those other coins.
The problem with XRP is that their team's moves are ambiguous (i refer to Chris Larsen selling roughly $175 Million XRP After All-Time High) without explaining reason. This kind of thing gives less credit to XRP from people view and that's sad because by technology XRP is a very interesting asset to have. Ada and IOTA also have an utility and could literally explode within 10 years, but once again it's just speculation and betting on it depends to the risk you are ready to take. This is why i recommended BTC and ETH because they are the only both projects with a very illustrative history graph on a long-term.
yep, been there with coins that just sit because of centralized control, like XRP. If you want a bag that actually grows over time without manipulation, IOTA's the way to go.
exactly it’s always the same cycle of “X is different” until you realize it’s just another controlled project. XRP’s no exception, with ripple pulling all the strings. IOTA, on the other hand, is actually building something decentralized, not just following the same old narrative.
BTC and ETH are solid for safer bets, but even they have centralization issues. XRP? It’s mostly ripple controlling the game. IOTA’s where you can take on some risk but actually back decentralization and real-world use, not just speculation.
true, those may be easier to tackle first, but XRP’s still stuck in ripple’s hands. the SEC's focus on the early movers doesn’t change the fact that XRP's future is controlled by one company. IOTA’s the opposite truly decentralized and less susceptible to these regulatory games.
exactly this XRP lives off 2017 hype and ripple’s marketing, not real adoption. meanwhile IOTA’s been ignored, quietly building with governments and partners, and actually has decentralized value ready to move.
funny how XRP fans call it FUD anytime someone points at ripple’s monopoly. it’s not fear, it’s reality IOTA shows what actual decentralization looks like.
That thread is basically: **1. OP:** Centralized coins like XRP often turn holders into exit liquidity when insiders dump. If you want to avoid that, **IOTA is one of the few alts actually worth holding.** **2. Reply:** Asking for clarification *“Which altcoins are worth holding?”* 👉 Short takeaway: **IOTA is being positioned as a rare alt worth holding long-term, compared to insider-heavy plays like XRP.**
Hey, juggling crypto news with a busy life is rough, but your $1000 diversification plan is a great start. XRP at $3.01 has Ripple’s 300+ bank partnerships for global payments, HBAR’s $9.18B market cap and Google/IBM backing target enterprise use cases like supply chains, and XLM at $0.28 powers financial inclusion with MoneyGram’s support. LINK around $20 is a DeFi cornerstone, feeding data to smart contracts, while IOTA’s IoT focus with feeless transactions is intriguing but niche. “Texit” might be Tezos (XTZ) at $1.50, known for governance and DeFi, so check that one out. BTC at $117K and ETH at $4.4K are still solid for stability and DeFi/NFT growth, not missed opportunities. I’d put $300 in XRP for momentum, $150 each in HBAR and XLM for adoption, $200 in LINK for DeFi exposure, $100 split between BTC and ETH for a safe base, and $100 in Algorand (ALGO), a newer ISO 20022-compliant project tied to central bank digital currencies. Always dig into project whitepapers and market trends on sites like CoinCodex before investing. Good luck!
true, hbar moves like molasses. but that doesn’t make XRP any better it’s still ripple’s monopoly. IOTA’s been building quietly for years and is set up way stronger than both.
solid breakdown, the cycle logic is hard to argue. just funny how XRP holders pretend they’re “whales” when ripple literally *is* the whale IOTA’s way more aligned with actual market rotation, not founder-controlled dumping.
market always reacts short term to headlines, deal or no deal. but with XRP the dump risk is ripple unloading supply IOTA doesn’t have that centralized overhang.
yeah corrections are part of every run, keeps the chart from overheating. the real danger isn’t dips, it’s bags like XRP where ripple decides the market IOTA doesn’t have that choke point.
yeah banks love to act like gatekeepers, especially when it comes to coins like XRP where insiders already hold the keys. easier just to bypass their games and look at projects like IOTA that aren’t built around one company’s monopoly.
true, most coins just follow btc and macro flows. but XRP’s extra risk is ripple’s central control zooming out doesn’t fix founder bags. IOTA’s the opposite: decentralized, ignored, and way better positioned long term.
Yeah, macro will decide the mood but XRP isn’t gonna magically save portfolios either, it just bleeds with Ripple unloading supply. If Q4 does pop, I’d rather be in IOTA, real adoption and actual decentralization behind it.
Same most bags end up exit liquidity, especially centralized ones like XRP where Ripple keeps dumping. If you want to avoid that trap, IOTA’s one of the few alts actually worth holding.
Yep, XRP’s just Ripple’s insiders unloading bags, and ADA’s all promises with little delivery. If you want something legit and undervalued, IOTA’s the far better play.
Exactly patents and partnerships get hyped nonstop by XRP maxis, but they rarely mean anything for the token. If you want something tied to real adoption instead of empty claims, IOTA’s the one to watch.
lol yeah, the last 6% clinging to XRP like it isn’t just Ripple’s exit plan. If they stepped out of the echo chamber, they’d see IOTA’s the one actually worth holding.
That’s a clean strategy BTC for safety, SOL for growth. Just glad you didn’t throw XRP in there, because that’s still just Ripple’s monopoly play. If you want one more long shot worth holding, IOTA’s the kind that could actually surprise you.
Exactly XRP’s just retail propping up Ripple’s insiders, nothing decentralized about it. If you’re looking beyond ETH for real adoption, IOTA’s where the smarter asymmetric bet is.
I hear you XRP’s resilience is real, even after the SEC mess. I just see it differently: governments *are* already working with IOTA through TWIN, WEF, UK pilots, etc. That’s decentralization being allowed because it solves trade inefficiencies, not because it threatens banks. Different lane, different upside.
yeah the XRP/Ripple blur has always been messy, makes it hard for newcomers to separate the company from the token. IOTA’s a different vibe tech-wise they rebuilt from the ground up and now it’s being used in trade pilots with governments. worth a look when you get the time, it’s not just promises anymore.
People always need a date to cling to, September or otherwise same as the XRP cult recycling “next week $10” for years. Instead of chasing calendar hopium, I’d rather watch IOTA, actually tied to adoption instead of rumor cycles.
IOTA is also nice to grab at these prices
Yep, chasing XRP after its run just means buying into Ripple’s dump phase. If you want real multiplier potential, IOTA’s still early and actually decentralized.
That’s the thing XRP “about to happen” has been the same line for a decade, while Ripple keeps selling into it. If you want something outside the noise that’s actually decentralized, IOTA deserves that spot way more.
Solid take betting on laggards is usually where the real multiples come from. Just don’t waste that patience on XRP, it’s not a laggard, it’s a centrally controlled bag. If you want asymmetric upside, IOTA’s the kind of sleeper worth building into.
Exactly XRP lives off hype cycles like that, then insiders quietly dump. If you want something still early with real fundamentals, IOTA’s the better angle.
Tried to keep it simple. but yes the XRP sub is/was cultish (I think some are becoming wise to Ripple intentionally blurring the lines between XRP and Ripple) Thats why DYOR is very important. I hear good things about IOTA Tech but havent had time to dig in much lately.
lol solid comeback. crypto threads always find a way to derail into middle school humor. at least with IOTA the “nuts” are actually governments and trade orgs testing it, so different kind of stack.
Yeah, subreddit “vibes” tell you a lot XRP’s feels more like a cult propping up Ripple than an actual tech community. If you want good tech and real decentralization, IOTA’s subreddit and ecosystem are way more worth the time.
Yeah, surviving a full cycle is its own win most people don’t. But I wouldn’t bank on XRP being part of whatever “new cycle” institutions actually care about; that’s just Ripple’s monopoly pitch. If anything changes, it’s projects like IOTA with real adoption that’ll matter.
Analysts love to throw XRP in lists, but it’s still just Ripple’s insiders running the show. If you’re looking beyond the majors, IOTA deserves that slot way more decentralized and actually being adopted.
That’s a solid long-term split BTC and ETH are the only real “blue chips.” Just don’t let XRP sneak into that basket, it’s basically a company share. If you want a moonshot outside the majors, IOTA’s the one I’d park for 5–10 years.
If those were the only two, sure, XRP might look like the “less bad” option but that’s just choosing which insider dump you want to hold. If you actually had the freedom, IOTA’s the obvious third path: decentralized, undervalued, and not run like a monopoly.
Loading ETH on dips makes sense at least it’s decentralized and proven. Can’t say the same for XRP, that’s just Ripple’s insiders cashing out, while IOTA’s still early and actually being built for adoption.
Pretty much most “utility” talk is just marketing cover for insider dumps, XRP being the clearest case. The difference is IOTA’s utility is actually being built into trade infrastructure, not just speculation.
That’s solid advice most “diamond hands” talk is just cover for insiders unloading bags. XRP is the textbook example of that, while something like IOTA is actually decentralized and still has room to grow before any crash.
Yeah ADA at least shows some resilience XRP never does, it just bleeds while Ripple offloads. If you want a real sleeper holding strong, IOTA’s where the upside still is.
Yep, that’s the problem looks “on-chain” but really just gatekept by a handful of players. Same vibe as XRP, where insiders control half the supply and call it decentralized. I’d rather back IOTA, actually open and built for everyone instead of a monopoly club.
haha yeah exactly cycles just teach you which scams get recycled with new buzzwords. XRP’s still the same centralized insider dump it was last run, while IOTA’s actually been building in the background.
Nice, that patience finally paying off has to feel good. Just don’t let XRP tempt you it’s still a founder-controlled monopoly, while something like IOTA gives you real decentralization and long-term upside.
Nice, that patience finally paying off has to feel good. Just don’t let XRP tempt you it’s still a founder-controlled monopoly, while something like IOTA gives you real decentralization and long-term upside.
Exactly LINK actually delivers real-world utility without founders holding half the supply hostage. If you want another sleeper in that category, IOTA’s doing the same for global trade.
Pretty fair breakdown ETH is entrenched, SOL is risky speed. But lumping XRP into that convo never makes sense, it’s just a centrally controlled monopoly token. If you’re after real asymmetric upside, IOTA deserves the slot way before Ripple’s bag.
Solid spread, but I wouldn’t bother slotting XRP anywhere in there it’s just founder-controlled dead weight. I’d sneak in IOTA instead, way more upside and actually decentralized.
Exactly, it’s basically FTT with better lawyers centralization always ends the same way. I’d rather stack IOTA, at least that’s decentralized and actually building with the market instead of against it.
If you looked into IOTA- do some reading on qubic. It is so advanced everyone is in denial with what they are accomplishing. Decentralized computing trains AGI and mining XMR blockchain with the remainder. It's very cool. Also- LINK is a decent play. Less upside, but solid
I strongly believe we will see a shift to RWA. Crypto is not only speculative. Ecosystems like IOTA are building stuff that can change the world like TWIN in africa. Or digital passports etc. You all should take a look to whats is being build on IOTA.
Same here — once you see how centralized it is, it’s hard to unsee. IOTA’s where I’d park long-term instead of betting on Ripple’s monopoly.
I did this into IOTA. 45k in euros. Fingers crossed.
Several tokens that have at one point in the past decade reached top 10 market cap status are not even in the top 100 anymore, sure we all like to think the projects we invest in are different but its naïve to pretend you know for sure. (Think EOS, now rebranded as Vaulta, both outside the top 100, IOTA as another example)
ETF or not, it’s still a token where Ripple controls the majority share. If you want real innovation without one company’s chokehold, IOTA’s the better horse to back.
Check what IOTA is working on
IOTA. Look at their tech. They have even EVM without gas fees. Layer 1.
Exactly the “SWIFT killer” dream died a while ago, now it’s just centralized bag-holding. If you want something actually positioned to grow with real-world adoption, IOTA’s the one to watch.
Yeah, special in the “still fine with one guy holding half the supply” kind of way. Meanwhile, IOTA’s building without the puppet strings.
Cool chart, but waves don’t change the fact XRP’s still run by Ripple’s insiders. If you want real upside without founder chokehold, IOTA’s the better long game.
Yeah, and giving more than half the supply to Ripple just hands them the monopoly they want. If you actually want decentralization with real-world adoption already in motion, IOTA’s the smarter play.
Exactly this XRP’s basically a centralized toll booth dressed up as innovation. If you want a network actually scaling and building with governments, look at IOTA instead of feeding Ripple’s monopoly machine.
I haven't heard from IOTA in a long time. But that's a good call. The coin has been severely punished in the past.
IOTA as countries and goverments are being onboarded. Huge ecosystem. Big projects.
And IOTA on the payments side, with a new "relationship" announcement every week Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
Yeah, and a decade later those “partnerships” still haven’t freed XRP from Ripple’s grip. Credibility with banks isn’t the same as decentralization. IOTA’s taking the other route building the infrastructure governments and industries actually run on, without one company holding the reins.
Maybe or it’s just calculated distribution dressed up as “accumulation,” like we’ve seen before. I’d rather park my long-term bet in IOTA, where accumulation is happening on-chain through actual adoption, not just sideways price action.
idk, it seems to have been orchestrated by Sergey Ivancheglo the founder of IOTA. No way to know anything beyond that.
IOTA and VeChain have never made 100s of millions in revenue from the adoption of their protocol. It’s not the same.
