Interesting, but consider this:

1. The platform is basically done. That has been said from quite some time now.
2. Poloniex and other exchanges await. Sources?
3. Buybacks start TOMMOROW. You don't know that, same thing happened with the anticipated launch then the price dipped.
4. Digital Asset Management Platform launches later this year. Speculation, especially with the change in team members

Same thing was said earlier when the platform was planned then the price dipped terribly. With news of the upcoming new company ICO, ICNP and OFMP I am beginning to feel ICONOMI is looking at collecting too much money without fully delivering a solid product yet. That's just me. Who knows perhaps if the price dips tomorrow like it did before I might buy low, or not. Time will tell. I'm just sick and tired of the lambo and rocket pics, the missed opportunities and constant FUD.

I made 10K+ USD profit which isn't bad. Who knows what might happen tomorrow.

I personally got bitten before by how paranoid and impatient the crypto market is, at a point which may defeat all logic. Being a patient HODLER may have paid off for long term eth holders, and paid off very very well indeed, but looking at all the other tokens/coins and projects, it seems quite risky.

I dumped 75% of my ICN tonight, made a decent profit, and will see where the rest goes, though I'm not too optimistic, if the same delays strike again like when the platform was supposed to be launched it's death to ICONOMI. I'd rather keep a good share of my profits, and decrease the risk.

Side note: curiously, tomorrow is April fool's day

Man! What is wrong with you?! If you hate ICONOMI so much, why do you keep holding it and testing it's beta platform?! If you were really sincere about how much of a failure it is prior to the beta launch, why are you still holding?

Trying to manipulate the market and shaking up weak hands is not ethical or productive. If you don't  care for ICN I respectfully ask you to preach to a different crowd, as I know many here will agree, your subjective, seemingly biased and questionable comments are not appreciated.

As you are a Newbie, let me introduce you to the evil creatures who live in the undergrowth of the crypto world. They are mischievous, slimy and manipulative creatures who pry on Noobs, weak hands, and people with anxiety disorder.

Their weapon of choice is FUD. Their strategy goes like this:

1. Create fake news to build up anticipation (example: saying that ICONOMI are going to a conference and assuming a BIG announcement of launching the platform is made)
2. Work up people using various fake accounts, by posting Lambo pics, moon pics, posts about anticipating the big reveal ...etc.
3. Agree with your fellow cretins on a set date and value for dumping
4. Dump as agreed
5. Erode value by attacking coin, founders, and questioning their integrity
6. Buy at set low
7. Rinse and repeat

This is the typical evil crypto cretin strategy. It is usually best not to buy into it or they will reproduce and hurt more people.

I would like you to consider this thought.

Someone out there convinced people that ICONOMI team will make a big announcement during the conference, despite no announcement on their part.

That someone started posting all the Lambo and moon pics to get people hyped up, and have them believe that the conference will be the big one.

Price rises to predetermined level. All the manipulators dump on conference day, when no announcement is made.

They create FUD. Buy Low again, and wait for the actual announcement.

Don't look at the lost opportunity of selling at the last high, rather, look forward to the steady increase in ICN value leading up to the actual announcement.

Be smart and don't be a subject of manipulation.

They listened and now it's going to be better.

What's happening on Kraken is just panic selling.

Though you are more likely a Fudder, your Fudding and Trolling attempts are more like snatching candy from kids, telling them there's no Santa then sticking out your tongue and going like na na naaaa na! Oh! and giving them the finger as you pull up your pants while running away from your marvelous attempt.

I think choosing Kraken for launch didn't come as a coincidence. As Kraken holds one of the highest BTC trading volumes, it's safe to assume that ICONOMI is more focused on having BTC holders buying up ICN before it's traded on other Altcoin exchanges like Polo, if ever. It makes more sense, because in essence ICONOMI will be the forefront for altcoin trading, but BTC is currently more accessible to the general public when compared to Altcoins.

The next big step for ICONOMI isn't being listed on Polo (though it may help), rather being accessible for FIAT holders which would provide the exponential growth we're all looking for. Having implemented Cashila, I can see they have experience in this area, though for ICONOMI a better go to market strategy is needed.

Yes, high profits as in dividends. No where does it mention that people will disregard the increase in BTC, drop in all other Altcoins, then assess the usefulness of the entire project against token value when it's all about the dividends.

Considering that ICONOMI team have never made any claims on what ICN price would be, where it might be listed, or made any promises which may insinuate that people may put in 1 dollar and collect more than 40% profit or even any profit at all by reselling their tokens 72 hours following launch, Whoever keeps saying things like "we've all been duped" or "it's a scam" or such FUD, is most likely one of 3 types of people -IMHO- :

1. You are and underage person with little money and big Lambo dreams (i.e. unrealistic expectations with no grasp of how the real world works), and as such, you are not to blame in any way, though we respectfully ask you to attempt at gaining more information, leveling your expectations and not basing your expectations on Lambo pics posted by people who are out there to manipulate you

2. You are within the legal age of being prosecuted for such claims, yet given your location or sense of security gained by sitting in your bedroom behind a keyboard typing away, you have decided to make decisions -based purely on feelings- and blaming others for your decisions. To you we say, this is not a forum for lamenting on your emotional decisions, be it your self destructive love for chocolate, bad relationship decisions, your decision to buy that awesomely modified fast Prius or how you took out money which you actually need to pay bills and put it in a very volatile investment vehicle with hopes of becoming a millionaire within 72 hours

3. You are a troll or FUDDer hoping to drive the price down, bank on the first two guys' lack of information and poor decision making

Here Here

12. They made several good decisions, including delaying launch until Ethereum network fork was done and the network stabilized, they dealt with Liqui in a firm and appropriate way, they dealt with bounty obsessed people with tact and lastly their team formation is highly organised in term of responsibility and investor care.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. Although, unsupported by any evidence, and with no idea about who you are, how many "investments" you've done or your ability to assess their engineering skills, I am happy to inform you that your thoughts are as unnecessary to me as they are unsupported.

Aren't you the guy who was threatening court action for your bounties?

Here's a few explanations to what's going on:

1. Not all traders have accounts on kraken and it takes time to create one
2. BTC price hange
3. BTC network
4. Intentional heavy dumping for dropping the price, re-buying at below ICO then waiting for other Exchanges to open to dump after correction

I dunno if you're trolling or not. If you're not, I will just politely tell you that your expectations and plans are highly unrealistic.  

Tone it down a notch, and by a notch I mean up to 1 dollar tops in the first month

Ah yes of course. Especially that comparable ICOs definitely sold below ICO price. Like ummm Lisk for instance, nah scratch that, it was 5x ICO price, hmm waves then, nah perhaps later but upon on launch it was higher than ICO too. Doesn't seem like you have much of a case here, unless you have more sinister motives of creating FUD and banking on people with weak hands.
