Give it time. One of the shill whales will be by to give you a half baked answer, but they'll tell you how awesome ION is and you should buy more now cause soon it's gonna be worth $100. If they answer your question, I'd still go to the ION Slack channel to verify from an official team member.

Just remember, these "whales" paid to be important. They didn't earn such status via their skill sets or hard work they've put in. They present themselves as highly important to the project. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This is another "feature" of the coin/token I'd be highly worried about. A crypto project that is creating a class system. People with more money get to pay for special treatment. Said whales are privy to inside information about the project. They can use said inside info about the project to make market moves or to give bad advice to the "peon" ION holders so they can capitalize and improve or profit off their holdings. For example, WildShark preaches and preaches how awesome ION is and your should buy and hodl. Yet he dumps his MN earnings on to Bittrex every single day. He sets it to automatically do this. A ask him why he shills for the coin yet dumps his daily earnings. And Korvas, the other big shill whale on BCT will never properly address and answer your question. He'll give you a run around word salad, aggressively defending any negatives you may point out, leaving the main point of your question unanswered for several thread posts.

tl;dr: don't trust the whales and get your questions answered by an official team member on the Ionomy Slack channel. DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD THE WHALES TELL YOU!! They only have their best interest in mind. Remember, these folks got taken for a big ride with Paycoin. They are only out to make themselves whole from those losses. They will do it at any cost. BEWARE!!
