The machine age has already begun. Traditional payment systems were built for people, not machines. IOTA is a promising platform for efficient M2M payments and the machine age. There are several interesting IOTA ecosystem projects and rapidly growing patent applications. The crypto currency IOTA is still a very risky investment, but with great potential. The IOTA Foundation should focus on projects and activities that keep an eye on the growth of M2M / IoT payments and volumes.
