ICP

tojasma

Same advise I have offered to LINK and ICP maxis. Best to sell off such bags already as they may likely never recover from the crash.KOLnet is more of a viable investment for me at this point

Dro1100

I completely forgot ICP was a top 10. Ouch, what a fall

dhork

> Crazy to think how many projects were born, mooned and suddenly died in those 5 years. This really is the digital wild west. You down with ICP? (Yeah, you know me!)

SoylentYellow05

ICP

BilboOfTheHood

Why did anyone ever hold ICP? Started out a shitshow and never really made a comeback who was buying this shit.

matRmet

Pour one out for Sol and ICP holders. Wild ride. And yearn, no one talks about the 90k drop on yearn.

DigitalInvestments2

I'm going to sound like a broken record here but this has to get across to people. Stop buying meme dog coins right now and buy bluechips like Celo and ICP. Projects like these have never been seen at these prices. It's literally a once in a lifetime opportunity.

DigitalInvestments2

I have to agree OP, have an upvote. Since we are in a bear market, (I know that nobody likes hearing that) we have the opportunity to buy blue chip cryptos like ICP and HBAR and prices no one has ever seen before. We know these projects have budgets of billions of dollars, VC backing, real world partners and hundreds of devs. Does your meme coin have that? Think twice before putting your funds into a dog coin instead of ICP.

UltraGardenDesigner

ICP is a semi switz coin ;)

Bucksaway03

ICP memes are old news. It's all about Luna now

Accomplished-Design7

Well, LUNA definitely beat ICP

ShadowOne_

Surprised I’m not seeing any comments talking about ICP… The way it provides scalability for apps running on it is incredible and taking fees from those hosting apps instead of the users makes it much more likely to gain mainstream use

SA_Ichi

Tether dying has about the same chance of ICP going back to seven hundred dollars, hth

DiligentQuality7256

I have 100 ICP, ladies

HappyFiasco

It's the new internets. It uses blockchains to transact with a pubic ledger. Everybody can see it. The blocks are chained together into a staking node, which is mined in Panama. The price of each crypto coin is based on the lines of a randomised chart, powered by binance, and constantly moves up and down depending on how much forehead sweat is produced by the coin holder while they study the graph action. Popular coins include BTC, Eth, ICP and the stablecoin ADA This concludes my intro to crypto currency investing, NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE please like and subscribe.

ICP

tika_dengu

Is it stupid to buy ICP at these prices?

Blooberino

ICP. I can't believe there are still people who shill this coin. It was literally birthed from Satan's asshole onto an Indian burial ground.

Mediocre_Piccolo8542

ETH has unlimited supply but a burning mechanism, so it has some sensical monetary policy. Cardano is more similar to BTC. All three have solid monetary policy and are not some shitcoins with arbitrary supply which can be changed ( hell Luna) or some shitcoin which is being burned just for the sake of short term price increase and exit liquidity for its founders. The price itself is a simple demand. For BTC itself it was almost worthless at the beginning, while ETH and ADA the price was defined by their ICO's - basically estimation how much money they gonna need for development from early investors, but once it is launched the market decides. In case of Algorand/ICP the price actually went down after launch, so buying after launch doesn't necessarily mean it will go up.

cmftblehouseshoes

I’m worried I my investment in DOT is basically like invested in ICP

HappyFiasco

I'm new as well (only about 3 months in crypto). I'm definitely not an expert, so you will find better advice than from me. But here's what I've learnt so far: - start by signing up to a centralised exchange (CEX) like binance, Coinbase or Kraken. It's easier to start at a CEX than a DEX (decentralized exchange) because the UI will be a bit more familiar, they have educational resources and customer support. Try out trading on a DEX once you have more experience - Research the two biggest coins Bitcoin and Ethereum. These will probably be your safest investments for now. Once you understand both of these ecosystems, if you want to branch out further I'd recommend researching whatever coins are in the top 10 before looking elsewhere. However we've seen over the last two weeks that even if a coin is in the top 10, it doesn't mean it's a safe investment! (Referring to Luna/UST collapse) - look into different types of investment strategies than decide for yourself what your strategy will be, then stick to it. Lots of people like Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) as a simple way of long term investing but there are many other ways - learn about staking coins. Most coins have some form of staking rewards. This can be an effective way to earn passive returns but is not without risks - learn how to read charts. Learn about supply, liquidity and market cap - Stablecoins are very important in crypto, but they have their issues depending what they are collateralized by. Research the difference between fiat, crypto & algorithmic stablecoins - cautionary crypto tales to look at include the collapse of Bitconnect, ICP, Luna/UST, Titan, and many more. Understanding how these coins collapsed will teach you warning signs to look out for. - A bull market is when everything is going up in value, bear market is when everything is down. We are currently in a bear market. Nobody knows exactly when (or if!) it'll change back to a bull market - stay away from leverage trading! - on youtube 99 bitcoins have some decent beginner explanation videos of Blockchain & crypto in general. Some of their explainer videos are a couple of years old but are still relevant and are explained in plain English without telling you what to invest in. But be careful of all Crypto YouTubers in general. They can be useful in getting to know a product, but take any advice from them with a grain of salt - don't ever discuss crypto with family or friends unless they talk to you about it with genuine interest - the biggest eye opener for me was what happened in the wake of the Luna/UST collapse. I wasn't invested in it but watching it all happen live from the outside was a sobering and humbling experience. So many people thought it was a safe bet because it was in the top 10. Billions of dollars lost. People invested their life savings into it. So many people posting about suicide on the terra/Luna subreddit that they had international suicide hotlines pinned. Use this as a learning experience. Only invest what you can afford, and diversify so you're not invested in only one asset.

Lobster_Messiah

It’s subjective, of course. If it was a fact backed with empirical data that Dash was a dead project, it would likely have very little money in it. But people hold on due to hope. Look at SafeMoon. It’s r the thousands of meme coins. Or even old school coins (remember BBQcoin). The more serious projects slowly rise to the top typically. But if you read ICP’s white paper and think the fundamentals are strong when few others do, it’s a subjective opinion. Once you realize that, you start to see all the snake oil salesman. Even if you think only 85% of all cryptocurrency is garbage, scams, clones, memes (etc), that still leaves about 4,000+ projects.

shib_army

you are missing ICP internet computer

crypt0_sports

Nah it’s just coming to an end of this cycle just like it did in 2017/18. Most of the top 50 will be replaced by new tech, innovation and actual utility other than the false promises of coins like XRP and ICP just to name two. And hopefully stable stablecoins.

Playforever97

Price action doesnt always define if its a shitcoin or not lol. The R&D behind ICP is probably the most qualified in the whole space and the blockchain itself is probably the most powerful. Tokenomics, launch and price performance so far have all be shit i admit it. But the team and tech is undeniable with some basic research.

SecretCryptoAcct69

Hey DFINITY / ICP folks, y’all are jerks. EOM.

No_Chains_In_Hell

Nobody will buy ICP without thinking of juggalos therefore it will never take off

nuclearxrd

Could anyone explain why ICP has been performing poorly for the past year? Does it have a chance to come back to at least $100

LeftHer4Xbox

1% in LRC? Disgusting. Should've easily been 20% of your portfolio. Should've just bought ICP for all that jazz.

DigitalInvestments2

I'm buying 0xMR and ICP 50/50 during this dip. These are my choices because they have real world utility and solve real world problems, unlike most other blockchains, which are vapourware.

DigitalInvestments2

Now is a great time to buy into crypto but I wouldn't buy BTC because it already pumped. If you invested 1000 usd, it would have to go to 100 million dollars for you to get rich and that's not happening any day soon. You are more likely to get wealthy investing in undervalued L1 projects like Fantom and ICP. ICP particularly because it can be used to bridge all web2 websites to the WEB3 crypto world.

DigitalInvestments2

SOL has broken at least 9 times to date and one of the main validators left a couple days ago and dumped all of his coins. The same VC that backed SOL also backed LUNA. The same shills on youtube backed both projects as well and were likely paid by those VC backers. I don't think SOL is going to make it but I think more stablecoins will fall first. Fortunately, I sold my SOL for NEAR and ICP a long time ago, so I'm safe. Both of these chains use sharding/subnets to scale, which is a much better solution than proof of history and nodes with astronomical requirements.

Accomplished-Design7

I didn’t think any crypto would surpass ICP but UST sure did

JJslo

Initial distribution is a good way of determining if something is a ponzi. By that criteria Luna is 100% ponzi, Solana 98.4, Avax, ICP, Near, Flow about 60%. Seems about right.

therealestx

I mean if you consider buying NFTs and trading one shit coin for another being useful then yes. For me Solana, eth, Avax, Dot, near are all speculative assets that have no need-gap. Everything that is built on them has massive dependencies on the centralized web 2 stacks they seek to replace. If they were to disappear it would have 0 impact on 99 percent of the world population. People talk about DEFI as if trading, borrowing, and lending one coin with no useful purpose for another is actual finance and sustainable. You can make a case for Bitcoin as a medium to transfer values and just hold it there. Other protocols like AR, FileCoin and ICP are unique Blockchains that anyone can build useful software like e-commerce, websites, social networks, storage services, communication apps, and other client interfaces in a truly decentralized way that have nothing to crypto. Even then their need gaps are questionable. I am up the mindset if something does not have a need gap that is not covered by other decentralized or federated platforms and there's no really any need for it to exist using Blockchain.

TheEighthHokage

ICP is the best tech in crypto. I am always dumbfound by the lack of mention/interest in ICP on Reddit. It is game-changing tech and boasts one of the best teams in the space.

AintNothinbutaGFring

Hey, since you've researched things "properly" can you explain how exactly ICP is supposed to be decentralized? Can you run a node without permission? It doesn't use PoW or PoS.. so what exactly is the consensus mechanism, other than dFinity just having the final say? What addresses have the largest holdings? Don't canisters require approval to run, and isn't that approval centralized?

rs06rs

You mean ICP's become meme now? whaaat!!!!

Woodpecker3453

The hate is justified. Very little is known about their token distribution (tokenomics), their code is not open-sourced, and it is extremely hard and expensive to run a node on the network (I know that's not the exact term they use but it's the same concept). For example, to run a node, you must fill in an extensive questionnaire about yourself, then they must approve you, and then you must buy their overpriced hardware, you can't even use your own. The fact that you need their approval says a lot about this project. They made the barrier for entry extremely high for a so-called decentralized platform. Their lack of transparency and the fact that it's more centralized than not, is why ICP's repution is deserved. It doesn't matter how many scientists/engineers are involved if they're just going to build another centralized version of Amazon Web Services.

0Bento

I still don't understand what ICP was supposed to do. There was so much technowaffle at their launch I was like "either I'm an idiot incapable of understanding crypto and Web3.0, or this is just a load of nonsense." Turns out it was the latter.

smugwash

From ATH to ATL ICP $700.65 to $6.11 99.1279% Bitconnect $471 to $0.67 99.855% Luna $119.18 to $0.000000999967 99.999999160% Luna is the new record holder

failatgood

You are aware that ICP is a functioning chain that is currently at the bleeding edge of its domains’ technology, right? Or is your opinion entirely constructed of what Reddit says and you don’t actually use any of these technologies? So incredibly sick of hearing this baseless negative opinion on ICP, you’ll notice it’s only held by people that don’t develop/regularly use blockchain technologies. Anyone that does is aware of how groundbreaking this project truly is. Please, research things properly and don’t just spout garbage opinions that the mainstream holds, most that speak badly of ICP aren’t even aware of HOW the initial price dump occurred

lifenvelope

barely broke 100. ICP was almost half a grand buddy per coin buddy!

Bucksaway03

ICP has got nothing on LUNA

hkv6

I wouldn't jump to any conclusions just yet. One thing is for sure though, when the dust settles, Terra Luna is going to end up as a meme, just like Bitconneeect and ICP. On a more serious note, I have no idea what was going through Kwon's head at the time but the guy is too smart to be left out poor so I'm pretty sure he cashed out good with all of this, even if it wasn't planned. I mean, a fire starts in your kitchen and quickly moves on to the living room. You already know what's up, you just grab whatever you can and move it out of the burning house. It's all going to end up in ashes, might as well save some 'value' while you still can.

LiQuidZ03

ICP, Farm off the top of my head...guesses only

SecretCryptoAcct69

Dont listen to him! ICP is the future!

SkyJebus

Im sorry. Im used to harsh rejection for counter popular narrative. Any project that moons into the top 10 almost seemingly overnight will statistically not last long term. I've seen it many times and I'm always left scratching my head and saying to myself... How did I miss ICP, LUNA, SOL, etc... You know why? It's unnatural inorganic hype + well coordinated greed propping their projects up. Ultimately, many fail. Lots of money will be extracted tho.

Harold838383

ICP, hopefully sol, shib and doge

Woodpecker3453

Just ICP

CryptoDad2100

Buy the rumor sell the news. Pretty much every coin pumps (some harder than others) prior to a major listing so the early birds get to make a killing. ICP being the clowns they are happened to pump & dump a bit more than others.

idevcg

> If icp had the hype it’d be ICP cause their tech is actually the best, but such is life. what??? lol, two centralized shitcoins being called best tech... You do realize that if decentralization didn't matter, centralized databases would be far more efficient than any DLG? The only point of a blockchain is for decentralization. SOL is certainly getting a lot of investment and developers, and I'm not saying it won't succeed. After all, good tech doesn't always succeed, while bad ones might because most people have no idea what they're doing, and those who do simply picks the best place to make their money.

Loose_Screw_

ICP seems pretty hated around here, maybe I should buy in.

Zlatan4Ever

Bitcoin because Ethereum is old tech and an old dinosaur. ICP takes Ethereum and makes it 100x better in every way.

poojoop

No, this sub hates sol. And people who like sol like it because even without real Defi the ecosystem is booming. Developers are moving to SOL in droves, network has some scalability issues and the downtime is fucked - but even with these limitations - SOL is better positioned than any other chain right now. If icp had the hype it’d be ICP cause their tech is actually the best, but such is life.

Chumbag_love

The name is stupid and sounds scammy. I’d hate myself if I lost money on something called ICP, and I fucking love Faygo and the real ICP.

Affectionate_Hand_76

ICP is like the ex that keeps on dissapointing.

Accomplished-Design7

I guess you should just buy ICP, don't think it can go lower.

Cactuszach

Exactly. This sub has been VERY loud telling me to buy, off the top of my head, ICP, LRC, Luna, had lots of people shilling Ape, and probably plenty of other failed projects I cant remember. This sub doesn’t have the best track record so far.

St1Beisser

ICP has to be a successful coin when big player try to dump it. They fear the success and try to destroy ICP before they have to change their own Imperium because they wil loose massively as soon as the Internet Computer goes mainstream. Just have a look at big Webhosting Provider and existing CMS developments they will loose many customer because ICP is a game changer. If you want some more arguments, compare the costs for 1GB a year on Ethereum to 1GB a year on the IC Even Smart contracts will be deprecated because the Internet Computer has canister. Offense is the best defence - the gray guy -

SeverusSchnaps

This feels weird, ICP weird. I bought LUNA yesterday afternoon just to have a relic of the past. Like I still have some SHIB (5 USD), DOGE (10USD) and Safe...I cant say it... I have those just for fun and to say...I have LUNA also. This morning I woke up and notice a CMC notification...Like WTF people...this feels like resurrecting grandpa just to poke him with a stick till he dies again. It will not go to 100 dollars again and you won't have 20 Million then.

assuredlywr0ng

ICP.

Ianko88

Yep , Coinbereau also damaged ICP very bad

Energytransformer

ICP is amazing, check this out: https://youtu.be/y_HGRDlJhMM

Ianko88

Because If tomorrow will be a nuclear attack, ICP will be 100% functional

Ianko88

I am not crying about the price ,I bought all the way down , and what matters if i tell what ICP does ? You need to do research on your own and see it with your own eyes .

Ianko88

Manipulation is everywhere and all the time they are trying to destroy the competitor , at the end of the days the best tech will win and with the Bitcoin integration and Ethereum integration on ICP , will be the kick-off start for the next bull run .

kyle_h2486

Shut up dumb ass. You bought at $400 and you’re down 95%. Go cry somewhere else. You can’t even tell me what ICP does.

Ianko88

Thanks to people like you also affected the price , and i am so grateful for the bag i own now , thank you , just remember me in the future when the price will skyrocket and everyone will fomo so bad , i will be somewhere on a sunny beach relaxing with a cold beer and reading your positive comments about the ICP

PiePerson15

>centralized Node structure: If an angry government hits up bezos and asks him to stop AWS support for cryptos, 99.9% of coins, which rely on cloud services, will instantly be paralyzed. The only 2 projects that the government can’t touch are Bitcoin and ICP. And btw 30% of btc nodes also rely on cloud services so it’s not fully immune. Really makes you think which crypto is decentralized and which isn’t. Nodes: Yes node selection is currently permissioned by dfinity (I could argue that permissioned nodes are a good thing when a network is in its early days but that’s a story for another day), but it’ll be fully decentralized this year. Governance: The biggest whale (not dfinity) controls like 6% of the voting power.

therealestx

See, this is the problem here. So much misinformation about anything that underperforms or the community doesn't like. The nodes are expensive but still relatively cheap compared to running a validator node on ETH, Solana, AVAX, near, even running a good BTC miner. An ICP node machine costs about 10 grand and generates between 1800- 3000 dollars months in profit. Right now it takes 32 ETH to run validator nodes. The others are over 100k. For ICP you buy your hardware and install it in a Data center. That's it. No staking needed. No, the nodes are not proprietary. They only need to need minimum specs and have to be run from inside independent Data centers. Insider holdings are similar to DOT, near, Avax, Solana, Flow, and other big L1s. [infographic](https://i.imgur.com/YO1IK7H.jpeg)

Tangelooo

Isn’t it very expensive to run a node and once it scales it won’t really work? And aren’t all nodes proprietary to ICP? Those are the negatives I’ve heard along with how a lot of VCs hold a significant portion of it.

therealestx

A year ago no one cared or understood what was going on. Some people are starting to pay attention and talk about the technology side of things rather than just speculation. I am guilty of it as well. Believe me plenty of people care. Apparently you're not on Twitter enough or ICP communities in their own ecosystem like DSCVR and Distrikt to witness the growth in both tech and community. I don't see why it should die given the fact that it's still a top 50 project with great prospects in terms of development and what you are able to build on it.

SpikeHimself

everyone hates ICP they stand against everything that crypto was invented for

Paskee

Good luck to ICP hodlers. Hope it works out for you.

TOXICCARBY

Why is anything against ICP getting downvoted?

partymsl

This sub also hates ICP and loved LUNA. Now we know who survived and who not so.

Mister_VWP

ICP is a hard no matter what I will not trust it. And its the only one in that category even above safemoon. Thats how bad ICP is.

therealestx

I have been accumulating since January. We're seeing things that are simply impossible on traditional Blockchains happening with the whole Bitcoin stake running inside the ICP. Direct integration with ethereum and many other blockchains incoming this year.

Heelin_Coo

I'm scooping up ICP for the rest of this bear market. I won't be buying thousands, but I'll definitely be DCA more and more on a regular basis. BTC integration is almost complete, too. I still think there'll be another decent dip, so I'm holding off on how much I invest for now. FUD doesn't make any difference to me. I bought in around 6 months ago with a small bag. My bags are going to be a lot bigger over the next 6/12 months.

therealestx

Also can you provide any evidence of the devs selling their locked ICP or do we not bother with backing up claims here?

therealestx

The majority of sell pressure isn't coming from neurons being unlocked. Most are choosing to restake. It's coming from shorts borrowing ICP and dumping it on the market. That's why Binance is giving retail investors 20% APY to stake with them so they can lend it or possibly use it themselves to short it. That's the only thing that makes sense.

rootpl

The Internet Computer (ICP) also had a lot of VC backing and they basically rugpulled everyone.

crypt0_sports

ICP was Luna before Luna before it had its first key stroke of code. 70% of devs still hold. They’ve already shown what they will do when the price goes up - dump on retail. We’re good
