Easy answer - ICN will be another coin to play with for the big whales just like any other shitcoin there.
Price won't represent the REAL value of Iconomi, but some close-group heavy traders short price manipulations.
ICN can't be a shitcoin if its not a shitcoin. How are you determine the REAL value of an asset ? The real price is the price at which some one is willing to jump in and buy. If there would be people buying at 10 USD ... what is your problem ? If there are people willing to sell at 0.05 USD ... what is your problem ? How is that interfering with the development of the platform and all the other things devs needs to do ?
So the whales from Polo are bad, those on Kraken are ... good? Why?
You know ... ETH / BTC / DASH / XMR ad others are on Polo ... and incredibly ... they are not shitcoins. How is that possible ?
