The fastest transaction I’ve ever seen in ADA was yesterday when I swapped 75% of my ADA bag for ICP.
Lmao this is the most reddit crypto post I've seen in a while. ICP has privacy features which puts it in the privacy category and you have it sorted by MC. What a muppet lol.
Disclosure: yes, I own some ICP, but I bought in more recently, so I'm not some longterm bagholder. On what time scale? It's up 160% over the past year, which beats BTC. And yes, I think it has a bright future. It's the most impressive new blockchain tech I've seen in recent years. High throughput, onchain computing, can run AI as smart contracts, allows for interoperability between all the biggest projects, etc, and much more. Dfinity is a legit foundation with hundreds of researchers and devs working full time at their headquarters.
Does ICP have a future? It does look like a ghost chain in price movement 😅
How do you measure "dominance"? If you create a thousand shitcoins with 0 liquidity that "have" a huge marketcap because of a huge supply, in theory, the percentage of the global crypto market cap made up by Bitcoin becomes lower, but none of them have any actual real world relevance. Remember when ICP was in the top 10 for a couple of days when it got released? Did the dominance of Bitcoin fall suddenly at that point, or did just the metric change, without any actual real world change in how dominant Bitcoin was in the space?
"ICP already does this" what exactly? JAM introduces a lot of things lol. Such a vague comment.
I haven't thought much about it, but I could see ETH flipping BTC in maybe 4-6 years, or SOL in about 6-8? Smaller chains would take even longer due to market cap and momentum alone. I take a wait and see approach though and don't really believe any one chain will take over the whole market, ever. I think we'll have one big interoperable mega chain in the future. >I read some of the link that you posted. There is a lot more to decentralized network security than 51% attacks. Bridge attacks is one that comes to mind from recent history. Funny you bring that up. [ICP actually lets you port over BTC value without bridging at all in the form of ckBTC.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBV4oSaCknk)
I don't pick favorites and I'm not married to any one coin. I hedge my bets and ride the whole market and just reassess periodically. I'm holding BTC *and* BCH right now, for example, as well as ETH, SOL, ICP, and a few others. Not sure what you mean by ETH being "exposed". It's still very much a contender. It had a surge and crash in dominance early on, but has trended back up since then against BTC. It's also had two major upgrades in the last two years that have dramatically improved the network and reduced fee's. As for security, I mentioned this elsewhere, [but the only qualitative study I've seen on the topic recently concluded that Ethereum is more secure](https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-ethereum-51-percent-attacks-coin-metrics-research). How are you measuring "security"?
It's down against other prominent L1's with more features and use cases, not random memecoins. Other chains have good tokenomics and scarcity as well. That's not unique to bitcoin. The ethereum inflation rate is actually negative and ~45% of ICP are staked for 1-8 years, for example. The only benefit that BTC has is it's first mover advantage, and that doesn't guarantee a permanent position as the number 1 chain, it's just an early lead. Other chains are catching up and will surpass it if it stays on it's current path.
ahahahah not at all. I have about 37k invested so far, I was thinking of putting in 13k more. I wanted to hear everyone's opinion and then pull the favorites of everyone who comments and then do some research on that token (if I haven't already done so). Right now I have RNDR, AERO, GRP, ARKHAM, SHIB, ICP, WIF and GNO. But I'm looking for something new, something that hasn't been exploited yet.
I follow this quite closely. Even the devs heavily involved in LN like Matt Corallo are trying to tell people LN has a ton of problems and isn’t gonna scale BTC anytime soon. It’s just a typical surface level understanding of a crypto that is common. I’m no expert but if the people working on it think it’s flawed then I tend to listen to them. There are solutions I believe. In fact mistakes of my alt investment is in solutions to scale Bitcoin. There are projects like ICP and Zenon Network that are using some kind of canister/vault to interact with real btc. And also Tectum which takes a completely unique route by simply not moving btc at all on chain and swaps ownership instead.
I feel like everyone is ignoring the obvious…. CkBTC on ICP. It’s functionally allowing https calls and near instant and free transactions with btc
i would not dump 10k all into 1 project but here are a few i would divide it into Jasmy, hbar, swftc ,ICP, GFI, XCN, CRO
ICP is based, only chain capable of storing full stack applications. Not totally sure on its privacy coin capabilities though
It depends on how much interest people show toward exploring new tech. ICP is great but hard to understand for normies.

I agree we need lower fees, but you’re not going to solve this at L1. We need better L2s, lightning just has too many flaws (and no, i’m not ignorant on the matter, i operated a LN node for 2.5 years before winding it down) I personally really like ckBTC on top of ICP as a L2 since it doesn’t require any bridges, is trustless, and really fast. You can send directly from L1 to ckBTC L2 and vice versa (of course if you go trom L1 to L2 and back you’re still dealing with L1 fees)
LMAO ICP followed by Monero followed by fucking **WORLDCOIN,** the eye ~~scam~~ scan garbage thing. ​ Ridiculous
Chainlink has good tech but terrible tokenomics right now. The foundation keeps dumping millions of coins on to the market every month. [Circulating supply went from ~517,000,000 to ~587,000,000 in the past year.](https://studio.glassnode.com/metrics?a=LINK&category=&m=supply.Current) I had a decent sized bag and swapped it all for ICP when I realized this. People aren't ignoring it, it's actually very popular, the price action is just muted due to the high inflation rate.

ICP has great narratives and use cases! 👍
What do you guys think of ICP? Any potential or scam?
Why you think ICP isn't a good project. It would be interesting to know why?
I currently have 3 cryptos in my watchlist that are in the top 5 best performing cryptos of the day (among the top 100 cryptos). For me, those cryptos are ICP, Ethan’s & ORDI. I do not have Arweave or THORchain for good reason. Obviously the top 5 cryptos each day fluctuates and I don’t particularly have a large watchlist. But it’s encouraging to routinely see my watchlist coins in the top 5 or the top 10. Could mean I’m doing something right.
Yes, I have a decent chunk of ICP simply because the sub hates it and we all know what happened with SOL after receiving non stop hate.
People don’t like ICP I always like to keep some, it goes up and it’s done well lately.
ICP I’d avoid RNDR. AI meta has run out of steam with NVIDIA tanking by 10%. Not familiar with the other two.

Curious but what made ICP shoot up to $600+ in 2021?
Yeap. ICP already does this now and not 20 month from now as the polkadot team expects it. Project literally not needed.
ICP, LCX, Avax, Chainswap, BTC, Ring AI, RNDR
That depends entirely on the blockchain in question. BTC? Of course not. ICP? Go wild, put w/e the fuck you want on there. It was literally designed for this kind of thing in mind. You can't make any definitive rules like this for all chains though, because they vary wildly.
Lot to unpack here >Interest rate changes doesn't effect the rate on current debt The "current" debt, i.e., that which is already issued, was mostly issued 10-30 years ago and is set to mature as the Boomers all start retiring... >debt is maturing all the time so it just averages out Doesn't change the demographic reality of the Boomers, the largest generation by population in recent memory, are all retiring and gonna be tapping into their Treasury-backed 401Ks. >the gov usually just pays debt off by issuing another to replace it Exactly. The Treasury has nothing to pay it all back with, as they spent all their money on hookers and blow for Hunter and JPow, so they're looking for someone to roll over onto. Thing is, bond prices go down due to higher Fed rates, which means the Treasury will need to issue *more* bonds at *higher* rates and *shorter* durations to cover their existing obligations. This is inflationary b/c government debt is intrinsically a state-backed promise to create money out of thin air. It follows that cheaper debt, higher interest rates, and shorter durations (i.e., all the characteristics of a junk bond) all mean *more* money created out of thin air *faster*. The debt won't be due back immediately, sure, but the markets are forward-looking, aren't they? > it also reduces overall lending which is disinflationary This is \[historical\] correlation, not causation. Reducing \[private\] lending, i.e., lending by individuals and private corps, is just bad for the banks (b/c that's their source of income), which means they're insolvent too and will soon need some free money from the state (if they don't already). Bailouts are inflationary for obvious reasons. >raising rates only moves inflation to the future This is what I've been saying all along. The disconnect b/w us is that you're thinking we'll be able to push inflation off for another 30-50 years like we did last time. However, like I said above, more bonds, higher interest rates, and shorter durations all mean that **we can't even afford to buy** ***time****.* Inflation is gonna get a lot worse a lot faster one way or the other, and there's no person or organization (not even the state itself) that can unilaterally stop or even meaningfully delay that. >its a bridge until some other solution can fix inflation like technological boom to increase abundance of goods/services, or fiscal reform *Now* you're saying the quiet part out loud. We're all hoping to be saved by the AI boom or by some New World Order. I'm not too hopeful on AI b/c the state is cracking down on AI as hard as they can right now. This just means that the tech industry will get crippled like finance, healthcare, energy, and pharma all did due to state regulations, so AI won't be able to save us for the same reasons that advancements in energy or pharma won't be able to. Similarly, I'd be a lot more hopeful about a New World Order if I wasn't so worried about getting mowed down by Russian and Chinese drones in WW3. A world order requires collaboration in order to formulate, and the countries of the world don't look too excited about collaboration ATM. >Its also true that as lending/credit becomes smaller proportionately to government money, the disinflationary effect of raising rates is less and less effective You're observing all the right effects, but you're acting as if this is all gonna happen at some point so far off into the future that it's not worth worrying about right now. I'm saying it's happening already, and it's been happening for years now under all our noses. **TL;DR:** From reading your comments, you're clearly a well-informed guy who's noticing all the right things. The only disconnect b/w us is that I think, just like some people in this sub are high on copium about ICP or ALGO, that **you're high on copium about the West**. You're seeing all the right things; seems you're just having a hard time accepting them. or else you'd agree about exactly how fucked we all are.
yes it is. It is what got me interested in ICP, for the most part i’m also mostly focused on Bitcoin. it’s essentially a copy of a bitcoin node that runs on ICP with private keys split up and distributed across the naked. it can directly sign bitcoin transactions. You can have it generate a UTXO and deposit to it, then after it has 6 confirmations on Bitcoin L1 you have it in your ICP wallet and send it in there like any other token, with 2 seconds confirmation time. you can also send it directly back to a Bitcoin L1 since ckBTC can sign those directly It doesn’t have any of the usual issues that wrapped bitcoin in other chains has, since it interacts with L1 directly, it’s not a wrapped asset.
ICP is already getting some crazy things built. My favorites: Omnity Bitfinity Dopamine Finance (coming soon) You'd be crazy to ignore them + ICP at this point, given the hype that Bitcoin DeFi is getting.....
It's been on mainnet for over a year. ICP is very slept on lol.
These: Smart contracts able to do Bitcoin inscriptions, Sign Taproot txs, ICP could be a bridge manager for BitVM.
The ICP and Bitcoin integration is a big deal, it's basically making Bitcoin more useful by letting smart contracts do cool stuff directly on it's chain.
I am highly bullish on ICP right now.
ICP and Bitcoin are teaming up with Schnorr signatures, which means more DeFi options right on Bitcoin's blockchain! No more middlemen, just direct interactions.
ICP and stacks are going to both do well as L2s for BTC
Bullish for BTC and ICP
tldr; The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) is set to enhance Bitcoin's decentralized finance (DeFi) capabilities by integrating threshold-Schnorr signatures, enabling ICP smart contracts to directly interact with the Bitcoin blockchain. This integration will allow for functionalities such as signing transactions, inscribing Ordinals, and bridging tokens directly on Bitcoin's base layer. Expected to launch in mid-2024, this move could significantly expand Bitcoin's utility by facilitating new DeFi applications and services without relying on centralized bridges. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
I've been looking into ICP more and more and I'm hearing good things about them. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do in the future. Just took a look at ONDO and AIOZ. If you got in early on both of those you're laughing right now. What exchange did you buy RNDR on? I was looking into it and the erc-20 is still selling but I wasn't too sure where to buy the new token RENDER on solana network.
ICP would rather crush a Faygo
One of the things about crypto that annoys me is the constant hype and BS narratives. I'd just like to say how impressive this post is, they could have said they will crush Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Algorand etc. But no, the ICP posse are going to crush Solana, a crypto that will definitely crush itself. I really appreciate how low the ICP community are aiming.
This is a great example of reverse shilling where OP creates a shill so bad that people look at ICP in disgust after seeing this post. I love it
ICP, 😂😂😂. It's just a shitcoin
Solana crushes itself, ICP is no better.
There’s def a big risk. If it hasn’t shown any significant strength yet in late 23-early 23, then its not looookin to good. IMO my favorite are projects that pump when everything else is red, kinda like link is known to do. Two of these are ICP and GFI. Yeah they’re my bags, and I said it.
One cue: cycle burns. ICP is very much needed and if you don’t see this, that is because you have some personal contempt going on inside of you that prevents you from doing proper research, otherwise you wouldn’t have shat the section with such an unreflective comment ..
Just wanna say, You all are gonna miss out on the Internet Computer ICP, just like you missed BTC and ETH. Come back to this comment in the future and you'll seethe.
I just don't see how it's helpful to come up with imaginary use cases for random shitcoins. OP is clearly confused about what they're even asking. Throwing names of random projects into the thread doesn't help. There's enough snake oil claims coming from the shitcoin developers themselves, without making up snake oil claims *for* them. I'm surprised the ICP shills haven't shown up..They are usually all similar "use case" threads.
maybe a handful of them will get good gains but to hit their previous ATHs would be shocking to me. SNX ICP and AMP are a few of the ones i have had larger positions in for a few years now.
Right? ICP continues to be a diamond in the rough
Loaded up on AMP AGIX and ICP
LOL. ICP is not a privacy coin. It's deceptive marketing by a Binance owned cmpany that runs notoriuosly short on Monero. Always check twice. There is a lot of misleading information and outright false claims to lure in unknowing speculators by even the biggest companies in this market. **Do not trust. Verify!**
Grabbed Swftc too. I keep forgetting about ICP. Maybe I should grab some.
ICP and SWFT coin are what I snagged more of
Nothing else like ICP in this space. It's being ignored since it makes so much other shit irrelevant.
I don't understand why ICP is never included in DePIN charts. Well I do really - they don't want to acknowledge it.
I’m one step ahead of you piggleii. My current crypto portfolio is 99.999972% ICP, 0.000028% cash.
Jasmy, ICP, XYO, ALGO, and SWFT
The thing is, where do you host the website? Allow anyone to host the frontend code and allow users to verify it somehow? Host it on one of the decentralised platforms like ICP (they still do takedowns though, so they're not censorship resistant really)? Making the smart contracts decentralised is fairly trivial but there doesn't seem to be any good way to make it so there isn't a postal address and name tied to the website somehow.

You can lock your icp on the nns wallet with a ledger btw. Dapps on ICP are fully hosted on chain with updates that can only be made with a dao vote. Coin holders can review changes to the code and approve the update. The entire icp blockchain runs on what is called the nns dao, it can always be updated, unlike other legacy blockchains that need forks. It's all hosted on chain no aws involved. All changes to the network has the be approved by coin holders with dfinity only having 19% voting power thsr is going down over time. What makes it so good is its essentially a on chain version of AWS. Web hosting , ai ,social fi, etc is all hosted on chain. Chain key technology patented by the ICP team allows for entire blockchains to run inside on ICP smart contract(aka canisters). The bitfinity btc l2 running inside one ICP smart contract is a great example. Transactions on other blockchains can be made through icp smart contracts(look up ck-BTC). This integration is done with for btc , almost finished being integrated with eth and just started being worked on with solana. I would expect a node hosting data of that caliber to be expensive. It brings the cryptography of crypto to the internet. https://dashboard.internetcomputer.org/ is a good place to get started. ICP is over hated and very undersold on this sub. Chainkey technolgy is currently being copied by projects like near and on chain AI by the AO computer. The industry is shifting towards what ICP is already doing. I would recommend doing a little research to see if it's your cup of tea. The founder Dominic Williams did a on chain ai demon recently for ICP.
Gotchu maybe it might be time to sell them poly bags lol. ICP has something cooking from Octopus Network that is going to help cross chain crypto compatibilities.
Eventually with full danksharding (not just Dencun), Polygon PoS and validiums may go extinct. Though maybe not Polygon for another reason: they're creating a cross-chain Agglayer protocol that will help with cross-chain composability. L2s and side chains also hold their native tokens on Ethereum itself, and it is bridged over to the L2/sidechain. (All MATIC is on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token, and the MATIC on Polygon PoS is a bridged version.) This allows for users to exit the L2s back onto L1 in case of failure. While you could use ICP to store rollup data, Ethereum doesn't have a way to read that data without an oracle.
I see. So Modern layer 2s post dencun upgrade pretty much make polygon obsolete. As far as data storage goes, it can be stored on ICP for a hell of a lot less than any other block chains.
Is ICP really that good ? I don’t what so impressive about it from my readings. Can you quickly summarize the reason you believe it’s going to be a hit. ?
Just a reminder, today is the last bigger unlock of the ICP.
What's so good about it? It costs $20-50k to build a node, which only wealthy people can afford and after you've built it you have to get permission from the token holders to operate your node. So it's not really decentralised. Also, staking ICP requires you to move your tokens from the safety of your hardware wallet into an online wallet, where they could be lost in a hack or scam.
It arguably has the most mainstream adopt-ability, this pisses off quite a few folks but it’s the truth. Even Vitalik has said that ethereum has roughly 5 years for it to be mainstream adopted. After that? No one knows. ICP/Dfinity even has better tech than ethereum but isn’t popular. It’s not an OG, and again - even ETH folks can’t deny the tech is better. All in all, if mainstream adoption doesn’t take hold within the next 5-10 years, all of this could come crashing down within a decade Not trying to spread FUD even though this comment sounds like it, just pay attention to what leaders in the industry are saying.
BTC for sure. ICP must be in that list as they're the only blockchain that is 100% on chain
BTC and ETH are expected to grow over long term, I would put the majority of my money in those monthly. I would also put a little bit into altcoins such as SOL, ICP, or ADA maybe. Litecoin could be a good choice too. I would suggest BTC and ETH are longterm, and the others should be short term. But, no matter what I or any other person on Reddit might suggest, start here to learn and always DYOR. https://academy.binance.com/en
