Had people sold when ion hit $8.18 they would have made over $300,000 profit. Alternatively, had they sold nothing, staked nothing then today the loss would be approx $8,000. Reality is for people who ignored your garbage it was something in between.
Alternatively had people bought $10,000 of BTC in April 2016 that would have got you 24 BTC ($400). Selling on the BTC high would have generated approx $450k which isn't a million miles ahead of ION if you factor in POS.
Nonsense. ION volume is so abysmal that aside from the "team" (who also have the control of most of the free-ION-shitting masternodes) no one could really sell any significant amount without crashing the market.
Whereas you can sell the whole ION marketcap's worth of BTC many times over and the BTC market won't budge.
So there's your context - illiquid shitcoin based on lies versus the granddaddy of all crypto. Wasn't even a choice for anyone with a brain.

Go to CoinMarketCap and look at the 24hr trading volume. You'll see that people had many months to easily liquidate ION bought in April 2016 for a substantial profit.
Your trying to turn my response into ION vs BTC which it most definitely isn't. It's just me responding to you with some FACTS.
The context I see is history repeating itself. You said Ion was shit in 2016 and look at what happened. it's 2020 and here (yawn) we go again.
Lies you say.......... I suggest you go Kinder Garden cop another thread as there is nothing to see here Officer Dibble
