I mean you have ZCash, with all that high tech stuff, but the coin distribution is hell, now it will remain inflationary forever and it will keep stagnating. ICN coin distribution is similar to Bitcoin's.
Ultimately ICN is an ETH smart contract so I would guess if ETH doesn't do good ICN may start suffering because of psychological impact on betting money on something that depends on something that's crashing.
Well i agree with you because usually the coins that be builded on ETH's network, will has same is like ETH.
Usually the coins price going down or the coins had got hacking for example DAO coin and augur coin,
They have been stolen because of there are problem with ETH's network.
