Is profit you talk of realised profit for USD or this one profit on paper still keep in ion?
Yes, I'm talking realised profit. I'm an investor, not Ionomy.
Don't need to share personal information to corroborate just look at some data points.
Ionomy ICO'd at $.25 so imagine someone bought just 20k ION enough for a masternode =
$5kAt its peak ION hit $7 =
$140kI don't even need to factor in staking rewards to show that you didn't need to sell much to easily recoup your investment.
Ion is Avenue maybe for some indie dev, yes. But is not so attractive one for dev when this ion has only so little number using it. Some good Dev will not be there with so low number of user.
If you're a dev ION is just one element of an ecosystem you can leverage from. As an investor, if you don't see any value in ION that's fine don't invest it's not my job to convince. Just look at my posts here 3.5 years ago you are not the first nor will you be the last to say I'm wasting my money.

You will be honest maybe as we talk nice now. 3.5 year old ionomy did you think will have so little number of user still? I think you did not.
I don't lie

I just share an opinion. Today I don't care on the size of the userbase as the foundations to take ION beyond $7 are still being built. Ask me this question in a year and if nothing has changed then yes I would be concerned. Fundamental points of differentiation/innovation take time to develop. The soon to be released token system isn't an ERC20 ripoff it is true integration with the ion blockchain. As far as I'm aware this is a unique proposition, not another
