There never was a security breach tho. I also don’t get the ‘Technological downsides’. As of today we know that blockchain won’t work on a large scale thus for the real world. So what’s the alternative?

Iota is the only chance to achieve such thing. To reach that goal you often have to try something new. It’s understandable that most people won’t get that till world domination ;)

Leaves only ‘impulsive founders’.
