Lol...

My thought exactly..

This is what we call "a storm in a teacup." Wink

Two members who are not really "developers" to begin with left for a complementary business (who will continue to serve Iconomi with their research and knowledge), and we have a splitting of Iconomi into two teams? Grin

Talking about spinning a non-event into a crisis. Jeez.. Cheesy

Whales take advantage of any novelty to destabilize prices and appropriate your tokens.
Each day that passes, it will be more difficult to try to keep the ICN price low Grin

HOLD. Cool

Ok, I've held my tongue too long...

You're right. It's not a crisis. It's just laughable. They got more than enough money in ICO already. There's no need for this to be a new company. They could execute the exact same thing within Iconomi, using funds they already have.

The fact they type out some quick explanation in a blog post doesn't change that, and people dancing along to their tune (like you) just come across as naive. Actually, YOU personally come across as somebody who is working for them.

People who say Iconomi are making great decisions, money making pros etc... Maybe you're right - they're good at making money... for themselves.

This team are full of lies and broken promises. And now they are literally running a second ICO, and passing it off as something different. They've packaged a second ICO as "these 2 guys who work for Iconomi are starting a separate entity" and people are actually falling for it.

I've seen so many people mock second rounds (including fanboys on Slack) and I believe one of the Medium posts even said a second round is a bad sign. Yet when Iconomi does it, it's all good, because they worded it just right enough to make it look different. It's not different at all, no matter how many mental gymnastics you do.

Have they even sorted out the major problem they had, with their platform inevitably causing major price movements in the market? The problem they couldn't solve on their own, and had to ask INVESTORS if they knew somebody capable of solving it for them.

Honestly, some of you here are wedged so far up Iconomi's ass that they could literally cancel the project, say "Actually we're taking a year off to rethink this whole thing" and you'd STILL say "Nice move Iconomi! Another great decision from the team. You all need a nice rest. This is good for Iconomi in the long run. Mewn!"

... and anybody who even voices opinions like these are accused of spreading FUD. Open your eyes. These people are taking you for a ride, because they can - and because you're letting them.

Anyway, go ahead and shout me down. Call me a fudder. Think I'm an idiot. I'm just sharing my honest opinion. Hopefully it will resonate with some people. The ones who agree are probably already gone, or slowly closing their positions.

To the ones who disagree... I said it before; I wish you luck. I just wanted to get this off my chest.

Edit: Woah! So many people replied while I was typing this!

I will agree that it's not cool to make new project while other is not working. It's sketchy, though it can be good for them and us, there is risk always. They made second project just to supplement first and to be sure that one of it really gets on top one day.

I personally think that their new baby will not succeed because their business model is not clear as ICONOMI and in all cases depends on people who are making new projects, so it's very high risk thing.

Though, ICONOMI will be fundamental project which will support this new one with the success of their own,but only if they will launch that platform and it will work as planned. Good luck to all of us!
