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??
Moreover if it push up ETH price and we would get dividend in Eth,won't it be good for us?
it all make sense after all ICN runs on ETH network. both ICN and eth price will rise later so any of these token can be a good choice of investment next year. i have been investing with eth for months already and definitely a good token to trade with.
Eth has a long way to go before the price starts rising again. Im talking months and maybe even years so be prepared to hold for that one. Its going to be long and fell like it was longer but dont fret because im holding with you.
