How to buy IOTA with BTC

Cryptocurrencies have gained popularity precisely because of the features provided by anonymity and decentralization � two qualities that are in demand today in the century of the computerization of all processes more than ever before. People started to talk about them since 2015, but this market has reached its peak popularity in 2017, when all the coins started to skyrocket. Today there are over 3,000 cryptocurrencies in the world and the number increases day by day. The popularity of cryptocurrencies soared during the last couple of years. New tokens are emerging every month, but despite all this diversity Bitcoin continues to be the most famous crypto of all times. Only a few altcoins can claim to be its possible competitors and IOTA is one of them.

IOTA is a crypto created to allow data exchange between any data recording machine as part of the Internet of Things, that was announced in the end of 2015. While BTC uses blockchain technology, IOTA uses Tangle technology. As there is no mining in IOTA, there are no transaction fees which makes it more suitable for the micro-transactions. Today 1 IOTA costs $0,21183, its circulating supply is 2 779 530 283 MIOTA and its market capitalization is $589 468 488.
