Which is why I said that IOTA is more risky because it is a new concept. The justification is that to stand up "The Tangle", the Coordinator is necessary at this time. Nobody has been giving any other ideas than FUD.

I agree that it's risky but a lot of people here are making it sound like the plague. There is inherent risk in all cryptos. IOTA being a totally new concept to crypto currency makes it a little more risky but that doesn't mean that it should be abandoned or destroyed. The vision and benefits of it are great! $0 transactions and no miners sucking up electricity! I just don't get the hate.

Right, it's the training wheels until enough nodes are added to the tangle. What are they supposed to do instead?

The tangle is live right now with real transactions going on. If it's so insecure, why don't you go take as many IOTA as you please?

TPS has slowed to a crawl recently but had been much higher. See for yourself. https://thetangle.org/live
