Comment on IOTA surges up 70% after teaming up with Microsoft, now the 5th cryptocurrency

Comments

It's funny how they make a big deal about having a link to Microsoft, but Microsoft doesn't mention them at all. https://www.google.com/search?q=site:microsoft.com+iota

The quote they have from Microsoft https://blog.iota.org/iota-data-marketplace-cb6be463ac7f appears to be from a sales guy https://www.linkedin.com/in/omkareshwar

The first result is a link to a MS blog post about Azure integration with IOTA: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/azure-blockchain-upda...

But no mention of the marketplace demo (the subject of the article). You're correct, the quote is from a Sales guy involved with their blockchain strategy.

Making the claim of there being a partnership with a company because you have a container available on their cloud hosting platform seems a bit overstated to me.

Correct, the partnership referenced in the article instead refers to the marketplace demo.
