When the 13 million remaining ICN are released to the team won't there need to be a more transparent buyback procedure. If the team knows when buybacks will occur this will give them the ability to sell at an opportune time. I trust Tim, Jani, and the Devs will probably hold a majority of their tokens because they believe in the project as much as anyone else. This still creates a situation where if they were to unload a portion the inside information they have could give them an unfair advantage over the market. I also do not think they themselves would intentionally manipulate it but if say you knew you were going to sell % to cash out to bitcoin/eth/fiat and you knew when the next buyback occurred it would give an advantage.

Thoughts?

In traditional markets projected P/E can range with ratios of 10-25. Depending on economic conditions and the industry. The economic conditions in crypto have been favorable recently with total market capitalization in
(Jan. 2013 $1.5B)
(Jan 2015 $3.6B)
(Jan. 2016 $7.0B)
(Currently approaching $13.0B)

Example: Projections for Iconomi in its first year net $10M profit that is .10C per ICN if we base share valuation on traditional markets ICN has the potential to reach $1-$2.50 per share. This is crypto and it tends to be much more volatile. ICN has the potential to trade at much higher than standard P/E ratios although as with any crypto it will probably have many peaks and valleys. Prepare for upward trajectory and several pumps and dumps. Ultimately the value will reside in how much money is accumulated in our funds and then how the entire crypto market preforms over the course of the next year

This gives you a look at how streamlining investing and reducing fees can generate huge cashflow through a relatively new platform.

(In just under 2 years)
To date, Robinhood has processed more than $12 billion in transactions. The company, which has 1 million users whose average age is 30, has raised $66 million in funding.

Iconomi can offer traditional investing on the platform to create revenue and draw more users in and introduce them to the new Iconomi.

By the time they announce the ICNX and ICNP will be accessible and their website going live at the end of December it will be to late to get on board for these prices

DigixLAMBO transferring Lamborghini assets to the blockchain. Somehow I think this one will depreciate in value.

Large-scale Adoption and Value

-ICN provides a clear gateway into crypto from fiat for anyone in EU.

- People don't like change Iconomi brings the old economy feel for investors a hands off managed fund point,click, deposit and let your money grow.
Ex:User friendly apps such as Robinhood and Acorns for investing in fiat have seen tremendous success in just a few years and they do exactly what Iconomi does just in fiat.  http://blog.robinhood.com/
 

- For inexperienced individuals who do not have time or do not want to control multiple wallets private keys that could result in significant loss if mismanaged

-Iconomi will be the first to get into the crpyto fund investment space

-Currently no real solid competition in this market

-Funds operational by Q4 platform operational early 2017. No other project has went from intial concept to market so quickly.

Many of today’s most successful industry disruptors (for example, Netflix Inc. (NFLX), Uber, Etsy, AirBnB and so on) seem to satisfy a few purposes, streamlining a popular product or service by eliminating excessive features and expenses, and catering to the next generation of independent Millennials. Iconomi introduces simplicity, accessibility, and potential profit to the average individual.

Market Outlook


In traditional markets projected P/E (Price/Earnings) can vary with ratios of 10-25. Depending on economic conditions and the industry. The economic conditions in crypto have been favorable recently with total market capitalization in
(Jan. 2013 $1.5B)
(Jan 2015 $3.6B)
(Jan. 2016 $7.0B)
(Currently approaching $13.0B)

Example: for Iconomi in its first year $5M profit which is very realistic and in my opinion is a very low projection that is .05 cents earned for every ICN if we base valuation on traditional markets providing dividends ICN would be valued at $.50-$1.25 per share. If in this case you had 10,000 ICN the whole year and bought in at ICO prices you invested $1,300 and received $500 in dividends.

The value in ICN is the potential amount of money on the platform that's where the value comes in. My Q2 2017 valuation for Iconomi with Augur being a basis for 50MM-75MM. My Q4 2017 projection is something in the range of Litecoin valuation. Litecoin is designed to be a digital currency and also a store of value. Iconomi provides the same store of value in its index because of the diversification of its holdings and potential for gains based on future large market players with real value not just speculation. If the debit card option is made available to all platform users with daily conversion limits it will provide instant liquidity. This is something financial investment companies in the traditional economy do not provide.

Many of today’s most successful industry disruptors (for example, Netflix Inc. (NFLX), Uber, Etsy, AirBnB and so on) seem to satisfy two purposes: streamlining a popular product or service by eliminating excessive features and expenses, and catering to the next generation of the DIY-inspired, independent Millennials.

Max Kordek is escrow. Team in reputable and product is the first of its kind. A solid project but anyone who was expecting 10x at launch could only achieve with market speculation which means nothing long term. Hold ICN project has short term potential if funds and platform are all finished by end of Q1 2017 we will see this reach 50 million market cap minimum by end of 2017. After that is strictly about attracting a user base for platform and funds and widespread adoption of crypto as a viable long term investment.  Normal investors that either do not have the ability or time to manage their investments will see this as a legitimate option for diversifying their portfolio.

Do we know if the team is holding all ICO funds in escrow in original form of initial deposit or was it all traded to BTC?

Kraken is a Fiat exchange and a fiat exchange is exactly where we want to be listed. Iconomi has the ability to bring in money from outside crypto. Polo is people trading from one coin to another we will get added eventually but it is not necessary now. ICN on a kraken is the best thing for Iconomi with other exchanges adding later. Kraken has been very selective about what gets listed look at what is traded they are all coins in the top 20 market cap that actually have potential.

I am a small time investor Antshares was the first ICO I participated in but from the moment I started to familiarize myself with the crypto space. I realized the potential of Iconomi there are going to be people interested in joining the crypto movement soley because of Iconomi. It will provide a professional, easily accessible, and intuitive platform to do so. There is plenty of room to grow;

Thank you for quoting Mr President. It is an honor.

The Vanguard Group is an American investment management company based in Malvern, Pennsylvania, that manages approximately $3.6 trillion[1] in assets. It is the largest provider of mutual funds and now the second-largest provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the world after BlackRock, with about $451 billion in ETF assets under management, as of March 2015.[3] It offers mutual funds and other financial products and services to retail and institutional investors in the United States and abroad. Founder and former chairman John C. Bogle is credited with the creation of the first index fund available to individual investors,[4] the popularization of index funds generally, and driving costs down across the mutual fund industry.[5]

Vanguard is owned by the funds themselves and, as a result, is owned by the investors in the funds.[6

We can officially credit Tim Zagar with the creation of the 1st crypto index fund?


After the Wellington board had (reluctantly) agreed to accept Bogle's offer to start the first index fund offered to the general public, Bogle established the fund. Initially called the First Index Trust in 1976 (later changed to Vanguard 500 Index Fund), it raised $11 million in its initial public offering. Sounds familiar The banks that managed the public offering had been hoping to raise $150 million, and after the disappointing results, suggested that Bogle cancel the fund.[13] Bogle refused, relishing the fact that he had just established the world's first index mutual fund. Vanguard at this time consisted of three employees: Bogle and two analysts. Growth in the first years was slow, a situation not helped by the fact that the fund did not pay commissions to brokers who sold it (which was unusual at the time). Within a year the fund had only grown to $17 million, but one of the Wellington Funds that Vanguard was administering had to be merged in with another fund, and Bogle convinced Wellington to merge it in with the Index fund.[13] This brought it up to almost $100 million.
