IOTA OR XRB?

I've got some of both but I still want to know you're thoughts.

Do you think these are a good investment atm? And which of the two are you more keen on?

I feel like Raiblocks might explode sometime soon. I'm sort of getting the same impression that I got with Ethereum late last year, but I still made the mistake of selling my ETH and not trusting my gut. Of course, even though I want to trust my gut, my gut isn't magical and I don't have absolute confidence.

XRB is certainly the more popular coin at the moment, especially with it's pending listing on Binance. If you're looking for short terms gains that might be your answer right there.

I will choose XRB,ive heard it doesnt require any transaction fee? a zero transaction fee is a game changer.

I think IOTA hype is over for now, people are HODLing it right now, but raiblocks are not listed on big exchanges, soon it will be listed on Binance, so it will go to the moon. also technologically XRB is better than IOTA.

I believe IOTA has more potential in longterm. It's forming a bullish flag so I'd expect it to explode soon.

IOTA does have the potential to get more buyers. If there is a lot of coins on the market then be prepared for the price to tank a little.

Long-term I would go for iota.. Short-term I would go for Raiblocks.

Both are good. I have decided to go with xrb after missing out when it was $0.60 and went with sub 😭
With the fast fee-less transaction speed and prospect of more exchanges, it would make a good pairing/medium for transfer of funds particularly when buying tokens at different exchanges and the ability to purchase quickly to catch the market at the right time imo.

I own both and I like both.

But keep in mind that XRB will not automatically skyrocket a long time. There are seroius issues with the desktop wallet. And with serious issues, I mean unusable for a lot of people. Webwallet works, but is not everybodys preferred method of storing.

This. i can't use the desktop wallet because it kills my network. Have to restart router every time i try.

I think that IOTA has a much better team and strong supportive mass. so I find it more sensible as a forward looking investment.

I would say that IOTA is much more renown, however this XRB seems very interesting. Especially since IOTA still has a lots of problems - slow listing, a very bad wallet etc.
Whoever offers easy transactions will take a win and attract adoption.

I think IOTA is overhyped. Recently heard of ITC and they have been killing the game. They call themselves the IOTA of china. Based on the team and tech, my bet is on them. https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/iot-chain/

On the technical side, because both target to fix the BTC scaling issues, IOTA is not comparable:
- It has a centralized "transaction director" and it is not clear when and how it will be "decentralized" and what will be the consequence
- They claim that it can have instant transaction when it will have more user, but it is not the case currently
- They say that it can handle 1000, maybe 1500, but thats far from what XRB can reach: https://i.imgur.com/oRpO8lc.gif

XRB lack a good wallet, has a bad branding currently, is on no good exchange, but on the technical side, Its Blockchain technology is so far the best that exists.

RaiBlocks promises to deliver zero-fee transactions in real time without the same work-intensive overhead and energy consumption as Bitcoin. Like IOTA, RaiBlocks uses a directed acyclic graph algorithm, but instead of using DAG for the tangle, RaiBlocks employs its own novel tech called the block-lattice.
RaiBlocks is the solution to Bitcoin scalability and latency issues.

xrb and byteball are the ones i would go for

IOTA and Raiblocks, being completely different in their device, nevertheless, definitely have common application areas. Each team has its own vision of the future, and now it is impossible to say whether one winner or each project will find its niche. In any case, the appearance of one "perfect" coin is at least unlikely. However, now it is just as impossible to say anything definite as to whether it is possible to create a reliable crypto currency with unlimited scalability and no commissions for transactions.

why are you feeling that? because from where i am standing XRB seems pretty pumped right now.

as for investment, both have good potential of rise but maybe not now since they both are already pumped and they are in their after pump period where people still buy and lose money because price is dropping.
invest in others while these two consolidate and then come back.

In my opinion, both coins are a good investment.
And in the near future ripple can jump more
