IOTA, a project that was hailed as an alternative to blockchain, with a completely different architecture, has centralized coordinator nodes. And here is the result:
It’s hard to build an alternative architecture that’s different from what’s powering successful projects like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and at the same time make sure it’s decentralized and secure, yet scalable.
“The sort of meta-question the industry is asking itself is whether IOTA can successfully keep their partnerships and convert themselves into somewhat of a success by replacing the technology pieces as they go, without having had any viable plan whatsoever when they began,”
I guess they must have some super strong business development.
