This don't make sense to me. Why the
dividends are not paid back as
ICN? If it was to be paid in ICN, then ICN price will rise instead of ETH, right?

even being a noob.... stop and think...

when Microsoft or other corporations pay dividends, to their stock holders, is always monthly/quartal/annually in dollars....
they will never pay the dividens in more stocks...
so why ICN should do that??
