Thanks @wokem. I'm not worried about the volatility and do get that it's probably a great long term investment but is it dead as a useable form of currency? I mean $59 transaction fees, it's a killer, drop my measly $100 into Bitcoin and wave goodbye to more than half of it. Non starter really. I made my first investment in IOTA because I'm struggling to see the difference between the big financial institutions and Bitcoin miners right now and totally agree about Litecoin, sent a few pennies in that direction too.
