Introduction to IOTA Strategies.

The Tangle from IOTA https://www.iota.org/ claims to be superior way to build permissionless Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).  While there have been some who dispute these claims, https://aakilfernandes.github.io/whats-wrong-with-iota nonetheless it is worthwhile to explore what a protocol that can do what IOTA claims might gain us.  

Two major IOTA claims are 

• No cost microtransactions  
• Huge scalability

Clearly these are desirable properties. The Internet of Things (IOT) will consist of literally billions of small embedded sensor systems. Each of these is essentially a store that sells a data stream that needs to store that data in a DLT and charge microfees for its usage. So we note that IOT is the perfect candidate for such a protocol. 

Companies, for example Libelium produces sensor network kits

These kits can be configured  in many ways you gather data and the sell that data to other consumers. http://www.libelium.com/resources/top_50_iot_sensor_applications_ranking/

In this blog I shall explore the implications of the revolution that will come about as the IOT is deployed. In particular I intend to devote my energy to developing strategies that individual companies can follow in order to take advantage the opportunites that the IOT revolution will provide.
