62 satoshi now... not looking good but if wildshark and korvas were here they’d tell you its gone up in usd value. I’d still prefer the satoshis and not buy ion.

Surely team ion’s bank balance is getting low? With them paying themselves a wage and the low value that premine cant go far.

speaking of wildshark was he finally banned perm or did he just slink off after finally realising how bad ion investments were?

I’m pretty sure they must be running low on funds, and that may be part of the reason why they’ve not been able to push anything out for ages. Even by their own incredibly slow standards, this year has been a stand out dud of a year in terms of delivery. They never fully discuss funding but they allude to it occasionally in very vague terms. The ‘community controlled’ ion core dev fund apparently has ~3 million ion in it, so even that’s not a vast sum of money.

The broader problem is that in common with all alt coin projects of this ilk, they’re way too immersed in this little bubble to be able to comprehend the fact that none of the stuff they’re working on really appeals to people outside of altcoin obsessives. It never has and it never will.

I’m sure Korvas will read this at some point, so I just want to leave this little nugget here for him to remind him of his own delusion: how’s this working out for you, champ?

When BTC returns to $20k ion will be much higher than $0.04.

i agree on low funds thing. dark matter was just a second/third round premine in disguise. bittrex volume is abysmal and it’ll eventually delist.

Their biggest failure was continual rebasing of the coin and website versions. They should have focused on services giving the coin value. there are hundreds of altcoins that do the same thing. They thought devs would flock to them but they wont. They should have taken triple a titles with millions of players and built services that used ion rather than rebasing countless times and circle jerking over features nobody would use.

O well. Matlack will need a new angle else he and his crew will need to get real jobs. Maybe the can get Josh Garza in as a contractor.... he’s got experience in sucking a bit more blood from the stones lol.
