Good post! I'm hodling IOTA and I hope that it will skyrocket within the next three years.
However, I also have some doubts about it. I think that success will in the end depend more on marketing/diplomatic skills than on technical aspects. Bitcoin has a first mover advantage over IOTA and so does Ethereum.
I feel that IOTA really needs to prove its value and this isn't going to be an easy task. But as I've already said: I'd be more than happy to see IOTA succeed ;)
