The amount of brigading by IOTA community also shows how toxic it is. Just look at the comments on the ieee article. Or the some of the tweets. They were also spamming the /r/MIT subreddit about the DCI.

Just watching this all unfold is making me realize how toxic parts of the cryptocurrency community is and it's making me really sad.

It's a wild west, we need a winter of sorts to destroy most of these projects. If IOTA isn't secure it should fall sooner than later.

Hopefully what exists in several years time will be good technology, and hopefully the scams have gone away.

I'd wager than marvels like Bitcoin and Ethereum will still be here.

Over the past year the toxic portion has grown from "parts of" to "the majority of".

what did you expect? when the only topic is money, the mindset will trend towards greed.
