ICP

CrewFluid9474

I’ve only been trading HBAR ups and downs for awhile now. Chased two pumps with my dry powder and got lucky there on fucking ICP 😂 and also the Pancake swap pump also.Market is to risky to be honest, I won’t be buying anything to hold for a long time. I’m in and out or not at all

icebot1190

Wouldn’t invest in ICP and FET

Hitchie_Rawtin

> If whales are able to dump it to $3 twice and let it linger there for months, it means that's the true price of it. Pretty much the truth of it even as an ICP bull. VCs did pay >$100m @ $4.60 at the last round but they also made >$1bn just from the launch day so it doesn't matter how much it goes down even from that value, never mind the fact they also scooped up at $1.90 and 3.6c. Driving the price below their last buy-in is a minor negative compared to substantial purchases that did a 20,000x, 350x and 150x Having said that, I don't think most in crypto would like to find out the true value of their coin, the current market "dump" would look like a bump in the road compared to the abyss it would be.

XLM, XTZ, ICP, you'll thank me later.

HSuke

You're right about that. In that case, ICP is not functionally necessary because XDR is the native token used for compute.

Xintesh

A scam with the best tech and continuous development in spite of the manipulation and price ? It's a lot of effort for a scam. The analogy is on point, if you don't get it is because you don't understand what icp is. ICP is a network to store data and code, exactly like any cloud provider, but in a way more secure way. What you can do on web 2, you can do on icp. One of the main point of icp is big data with proof of source of training for ia, so yes it will totally be doable once the specific nodes will be deployed, the same way openai use huge datacenters. The fact those nodes will be enough/used remain to be seen, but it's perfectly fine with icp tech.

Simke11

So how did aping into ICP, DASH, FIL, ZEC, etc "narrative" work out? Took profits or provided exit liquidity?

Xintesh

filecoin is perfectly useless for ICP, not complementary. ICP is the full network, on which you can do anything, filecoin is only a store, it's like comparing google drive with Google the company. It's not irrelevant to say the truth, especially if people think it is a scam.

beepo7654

Will ICP rally soon?

IndependentBig351

Fil is not so irrelevant from ICP. They launched the same year, backed by same people, attempt to solve almost the same thing. They are like a complement to each other. Compute and storage. What is really irrelevant is who is behind the crash, the crash is there, the feelings are there.

Xintesh

We are talking about ICP, the fact other projects have or not been manipulated is irrelevant. But for early investor (i'm not), it must have been extremely painfull and I can totally understand the sentiment about the project.

Xintesh

I've been invested on the project end of 2024 (after the last "run"), since then I develop toy projects on it to learn when I have some free time and energy at night. I can't advice for the investment part because I don't know the future, but as it can do everything, ETH and SOL can do, + the integrality of all associated L2, if you think in term of potential in market cap the potential is insane. See under this angle anything under 50 is a mega steal, and that does not even take into account the tokenomic (which can be deflationary, as developers pay the service with ICP tokens, and token used are burned forever) I prefer to invest in a real project and maybe cry later, than to not invest in it and see it rise without me :D And on a side note, if you are interested in the crypto tech, you won't find anything even remotely close, so it's interesting to follow even if you don't invest.

No_Knee3385

until they pump. ICP has great tech

Significant_Grab_173

It's indeed a very Interesting and unique project. How long you're familiar with ICP if I can ask?psychologically it's hard to enter when i see the chart went 21 and dump, then 15 and dump, then 9 and dump. So I'm here trying to figure if I'm going to cry about it in a year or what. I will try the website and caffeine. Thank you for the reply.

dididither

ICP is the real deal. ICP is a threat to a lot of market participants. The genie can’t be put back into the bottle, hence discussing ICP will yield mostly flak in communities taken over by threatened interests.

Significant_Grab_173

Thought you talked about ZEC for a second 😂 I get what you're saying about being old, but isn't the idea is still way ahead of it's time? I mean, some ideas can only thrive in the right moment in time. I don't know if ICP is actually that, but they make it seems like it is.

TomtheMagician26

The token is burned to create "cycles" for transaction fees and gas for running canisters (like ethereum's smart contracts). So the cost of storing/processing data remains stable pegged to currencies used by the IMF, but if more people use the service, they will need to burn ICP to create cycles. This means more people will buy ICP because as ICP gets more expensive, you can get more cycles from every ICP, meaning transactions & data processing becomes cheaper and it is more advantageous to store ICP earlier when it's cheaper.

Sandharbor

They actually do have a decent amount of developers, and it’s a known project. Seems every time they start pumping it last for a bit then they get faded big time though.  I played around with it when they were getting hyped a year ago or so. It was usually quick and virtually free, some of their dexes were buggy back then though. I own a very small amount equating to maybe a few % of my portfolio and small amount of one of their memes which has actually done alright for me, so have higher allocation to that than ICP.  If something sparks my curiosity but I’m not fully sold sometimes I’ll just put a small amount on.  I also think it’s late in the cycle and leery of putting any newer or bigger alt positions on. 

Sandharbor

Hard not to think of “Insane Clown Posse” every time I hear ICP 😂

Post is by: Significant_Grab_173 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1oua8l2/whats_your_honest_thoughts_about_icp_serious/ I’ve been looking into Internet Computer (ICP) lately, and I’m honestly torn. We all know the project got a really bad reputation when it launched.. the crazy market cap, the massive crash, the accusations of insider selling… it all made people label it as a scam or overhyped. But when I dig a bit deeper, it actually seems like they’ve been quietly building real tech, full on-chain dApps, integrations with Bitcoin and Ethereum, and even ai related stuff now. It’s not the usual copy paste L1 project. So I’m wondering, do you guys think ICP still has a real chance to make a comeback, or just a long-term liquidity trap for insiders and whales? Curious to hear honest opinions, not shilling or bashing, just trying to understand where it really stands today. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

ICP is the future fam

RadRob79

Whatever you wind up buying, be sure you can afford to lose it in you’re looking into crypto. Or at the very least, be willing to hold until the next Bull Market. We are probably in the bull market now. Some people say it’s over. Some say it’s still going. I’ll give you projects I believe in. Crypto Currently All Time High ADA: 0.58 3.10 VET: 0.01 0.28 ICP: 7.48 86.61 EGLD: 10.13 544.17 POL: .18 2.93 TRVL: .004 1.15 Now, as I said do your own research. Just because someone (especially from Reddit lol) said it’s a good project doesn’t mean anything.

AlhadjiX

Eth could use ICP to solve scaling and UX issues. ICP wouldn’t replace Eth, but rather complete it, letting ETH remain money and settlement while ICP handles decentralized web & compute. But for that to happen, tough conversations would be needed. No point in wasting more years to achieve what someone already has

AlhadjiX

Why don’t they just use ICP as the base layer?

jimmy193

Use ethereum on ICP

kingjoeg

Someone bought ICP at the top. Buy high sell low

Shelbadier

shout out to the guy at who convinced me to ape in on $9 ICP

pedronegreiros94

Tempted to buy ICP dip. 

Future-Bet4783

Come on ZCash and ICP, my little guys I believe in you ❤️

yell0w8

Well ICP is still 100% up from a month ago so...

Simke11

Looks like we have a new batch of freshly minted ZEC, DASH, FIL, ICP & co. bagholders who once again stayed true to r/cc strategy and aped in at the top.

Nathaenyrendil

Well, it might just be hope, but i agree with them. We're seeing multiple different coins right now having pretty big upward price movements (Zcash, other privacy coins, ICP, Filecoin etc) even though Bitcoin has gone down. Alts starting to decouple from BTC have historically been an indication of a coming altseason

tp_Grizzly

Icp is just an inferior eth with nothing going for it. Caffeine AI has no real use, ICP ninja is a joke

nomorebonks

Not aware of what ICP does?

IdoLoveCrypto

Hahahaha how wrong you are. But you keep thinking that, and we will just print money. It’s wild that you don’t even know what caffeine AI is. ICP is actually a real company doing real things not just your standard crypto joke

IdoLoveCrypto

Can’t wait to watch everyone buying it up in the $20’s $30’s $40’s and above $100 It’s going to be so satisfying. Only people that can’t be bothered researching things will miss the boat on ICP

IdoLoveCrypto

Buy ICP, stake it for 3 years then retire, it’s quite simple

Gotglo

ICP, got 1000 and waiting for it to moon🚀

TomtheMagician26

There's always a second chance if you look hard enough for it. And now you've got the conviction to not doubt yourself for next time. Of course, no one knows what the next moon coin will be but in my opinion ICP has a good chance. Research fundamentals of different projects and don't give up. You've just paid for a very expensive lesson!

piggleii

Wow ICP is so cool. Wow. Wow.

Okra_Silent

Coinbase has run out of ICP while Binance keeps topping their Exchange wallet to meet increased demand as the ICP volume 30X-ed in a week Exchanges are currently struggling to keep up with the large increase for demand. 44.3% of the total supply is locked and can not be sold on Exchanges  Only 10.4% of the supply is circulating on Exchanges. As a comparison, the $BTC supply held on Exchanges = 12% Source: Zerotohero

Squidsoda

Lots of ICP posts/comments here. ELI5 “ICP good or bad?” /s

nomorebonks

ICP isn't "crypto" tech.

nomorebonks

ICP is the only project that matters and BTC will scale with it.

Welcome to the **ICP Pumpchaser’s Discussion - November 8, 2025 (GMT+0)**

biba8163

**Get it through your head, ICP is a scam. All these decentralized storage, compute, cloud, AI shitcoins are all scams.** They've been around for over 10 years. MaidSafe launched their efforts to create a "Decentralized Internet" in 2014. Vaporware. In 2016/17, you had decentralized Storage and Compute solutions with SIA and Golem. Mostly vaporware and not feasible for any real world solutions. It's not feasible to replicate centralized solutions with blockchain technology which is the most inefficient way of doing compute and storage. Next, it's not realistic that these blockchain meme tokens are going to compete with public cloud solutions providers who invest hundreds of billions per year into infrastructure and R&D. Even multi-BILLION dollar companies cannot compete to host the computation, storage, latency and high availability across geographies that the big cloud providers who have been spending hundreds of billions of dollars on infrastructure can provide. For example, AWS Availability Zones are multiple data centers within a geographical location but they are all connected by Amazons own high speed links that they have spent billions investing in so that they latency between Availablity Zones is sub millisecond and at worst 1-2 milliseconds. Then even the different geographic global locations across the world are connected with Amazons own fiber optic cabling that spans like 5 MILLION miles. This creates a global backbone network for it's cloud that allows fast transfers, reduced latency, etc when data can completely bypass the public internet and reach edge locations from where they are served to the end user applications - so multi-billion and even trillion dollar companies are leveraging cloud providers. TLDR; - For accessing smalls bits of data for low latency applications, data on the blockchain is unusable. - For deep archiving 100s of gigabtyes or to a petabyte of data going through the public internet using blockchain meme projects will take an eternity. - For high compute applications that require expensive optimized and interconnected servers in and across data centers someone living in his mom's basement spinning up his own server to provide that capacity is a bad joke at best.

GitHub rankings show developer commitment and innovation pace. Polkadot had high GitHub activity but very little on-chain adoption. ICP, on the other hand, has over 1M active canisters (smart contracts), more than 1 TB of on-chain data, a growing ecosystem of AI, DeAI, SNS, and Web3 apps fully running on-chain and CaffeineAI. So unlike Polkadot, ICP’s developer activity actually translates into real on-chain usage. Now please, enlighten me, what does Bittensor have?

Sassy_Allen

Here you go bud. Doubt these people would be using [Caffeine.ai](http://Caffeine.ai) if it was a scam. Also Ethereum copies ICP. I think you're just coping because people are realizing it has actual use cases and other chains don't. [https://x.com/icphub\_EG/status/1983121957433360499](https://x.com/icphub_EG/status/1983121957433360499) [https://www.binance.com/en-IN/square/post/31846670541249](https://www.binance.com/en-IN/square/post/31846670541249) [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9Vwdo6\_fIAU](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9Vwdo6_fIAU)

Herosinahalfshell12

Not really just a sense of Look into Definity org, ICP project and Caffeine. Get in before $100 I say.

Aerocryptic

Never seen any ICP protocol in any top spot for on chain activity on all the sites I’m looking at. But since you sound to not agree, feel free to teach me otherwise

Okra_Silent

So, we all here agree that ICP is a scam, a shitcoin and not a full stack compute platform? 

Herosinahalfshell12

What are the tokenomics of ICP is it limited supply and deflationary?

drivzzz

There is no cooling on ICP on the daily or weekly atm. On the hour it blasted to 9.80. We need a red weekly to really get a cooled off. Hope to get in at 6.50/6.

fenceman2954

I bought a bag full of Zcash at $450...I was definitely late to the game. Watched it pump to $750, so went out to dinner to celebrate. When I returned home from the restaurant, my bag had lost 30% down to $550 per coin. I almost threw up my prime rib !!! Thank God my ICP and filecoin are still pumping.

kironet996

Everyone is crazy about ICP here, the shit is down more than 90%, wtf are you guys talking about?

Okra_Silent

For 8 years dude. The amount of ICP on exchanges is lower than the BTC. 

Herosinahalfshell12

If you know ICP and it's organisation and projects ths just feels natural. No concern about selling the pump or the dips. Everyone should get in for under $100 on this one.

bizaroo933

ICP you monster

Suspicious-Holiday42

Bought some Near and ICP, lets go

Longjumping-Bonus723

ICP was undervalued. It's the next generation of Blockhain. Caffeine AI is hot and the interoperability is great. Try caffeine it's free test :)

Few_Interactions_

Anyone know why ICP been pumping, its been doing inverse of BTC when it was dumping

Future-Bet4783

Crazy how Z cash basically ignited an alt coin season. First Z cash, then privacy coins, then ICP and boomer alts. ICP seems like it’s in the spotlight now if Z cash is cooling off.

sarcastic_wanderer

ICP bagholders on the reddit campaign

Sharks4Life34_43

ICP is going absolutely nuts and had two days with over $1 billion in volume. Caffeine AI is out and people are catching on

JohanBlazer

Even TyeCrypto, the biggest TikToker known for pushing ICP, admitted this pump is fake.

Euphoric_Win8199

What do u mean dumping. ICP is going up strong, DOT, CRO, FIL, GALA...

Catnips64

Anyone else have some ICP locked up in a 8 year decay neuron?

r2cyp

"Invest in ICP" it looks like a meme token bro... https://i.redd.it/gp5yav2znvzf1.gif

Key_nine

I was thinking about buying it in the $400 range but its RSI was near 85, now it is near 92+ at $690+on the daily and monthly. I just can't jump in at these levels, just watch. I am seeing other coins follow it now, $ICP and $FIL

namieorange

I saw it at $80!!!!!!!!!!!! Same as ICP, Tao begore the punp. Idk what I'm doing with my life lol

biba8163

This is your 2025 Altseason. Have you said thank you once? - ZEC +20% - DOT +8% - ICP +32% - FIL +58% - ATOM +6% - FET +16%

milehigh89

You care so little it's all you post about. ICP was dead on arrival. 

milehigh89

Your whole ass account is just shilling ICP, if it was insane you wouldn't be desperately trying to get Redditors to pump your bags.

Antique_Tale_1865

Watching ZEC and ICP pump while my beloved TAO just loses strength is a different kind of pain

nomorebonks

That's not even true since whenever ICP gets any traction you see 100x longs thrown up for no reason other than to bring it back down. It's long vs. short liquidation doesn't match any other project in the space. You're lost sorry. Bye.

Mirko_91

Nobody is out to destroy it, the reason price is falling is because people who OWN ICP are selling, more than people are buying it. Outside force cannot push the price down, only holders can push it down. Its a free market anyone can participate and buy and sell at whatever price

nomorebonks

I know we sound the same. I know it looks ridiculous and shilly. If you've done more than 20 minutes of research and seeing how ICP put's entire websites inside of a smart contract running completely on the chain and how it eliminates the need for traditional IT systems saving trillions a year you might actually have a clue. No other blockchain is even close. They can't even store a photo. All they can do is move a coin from one wallet to another wallet. ICP puts everything on chain. It is completely different and they're out to destroy it that's why you see that price action.

nomorebonks

It's not irrelevant because ICP's tech is what makes it such a great project and the chart looks like that to try and destroy it. It was 100% intentional to try and destroy the project completely.

nomorebonks

None of those do anything. They just move coins around. You really don't know what ICP does.

nomorebonks

ICP is a software development platform and the most secure one ever - web2 or web3. You don't know what it is.

nomorebonks

Wrong on ICP. Just so wrong it's laughable.

nomorebonks

You guys still don't know what ICP actually is. It's freaking insane.

Status_Estimate4601

No they won't. They bought ICP and have 300% gains in 1 days

nomoney110

Look at the complete ICP chart, then nobody will complain anymore.

DailyUpsAndDowns

ICP has a ridiculously low circulating Supply which can't be ignored as a factor.

Sassy_Allen

Tech will win in the end. The ONLY blockchain to have apps and websites directly on chain. I also hear the rumors that Coinbase will use ICP because the CEO said that Coinbase was moving to be completely on chain and that is only possible on ICP. [https://x.com/AmSpeed\_/status/1986487195075830058](https://x.com/AmSpeed_/status/1986487195075830058)

Sassy_Allen

ICP just continues climbing. To the fucking moon ICP.

Katoch_Tubes

I built Sipnplay games on ICP and hosted on it using it’s tech stack. I can say it with confidence. It’s the best tech out there among L1

ihatearguingonline

Are you upset? I'm good bud 😂. You're repeating yourself a lot, it's kinda boring... I admitted several times, YES ICP has been bleeding to BTC since launch... Its launch was poorly timed and manipulated and it hasn't been around that long. Every time BTC dropped 90% in the past you had normie stock bros saying the same kind of shit. Yes, so far BTC has been destroying ICP's price action. Some of us are talking about potential in the *future*, based on things other than just green and red candles. This conversation has gotten very boring...all the best to you though, your English is pretty good overall

Boddis

What on earth is happening with ICP?

Mirko_91

English is not my first language. Everything i wrote to you is a fact that you can verify on the charts. You're getting upset over verifiable data. Again, its not my fault that your alt lost all its value against btc, and will keep doing so. ICP has not had its time since it launched, it keeps dumping to new lows year over year, this is a fact, not an opinion. Dont shoot the messenger whos giving you the data.

ihatearguingonline

I've been buying since April and yes I'm up a lot compared to BTC 😂. Look obviously alts are riskier than BTC and until the euphoria stage of a bull market, DCAing into BTC is your safest bet. I like BTC a lot but tech marches forward. Timing matters and if you can spot emerging technologies with actual utility (ICP/KAS), and you buy them when the retail jeets think "durr red candle means scam" , you can profit more than with BTC only while helping push the tech into the future.

Over_Explanation3348

ICP is the only real one. It’s causing some others to rise but it will flow back to ICP..

Mirko_91

The problem is you're valuing your investments in USD instead of BTC. Your dca's in btc would give you 100x better returns than ICP, pretty much literally. If your bag is underperforming BTC, its not worth holding. And its underperforming BTC since its beginning. Only since beggining of THIS YEAR, ICP is -35% in btc value. SInce 2024 its -76% against btc value. But keep telling yourself you're making good profits, i guess ?

ihatearguingonline

Hahaha I didn't buy at launch genius. I've been DCA'ing on red days and I'm up a lot. It's ICP not ITC... Yes there was market manipulation at launch. You are not the first to point it out. It doesn't mean everything that happens thereafter is tainted.

ihatearguingonline

Hahaha damn you think you're so original with the boilerplate cynical take eh? You're the mirror image of a thoughtless XRP shill. The truth is the space is fraught with scams, hype, and over-promises, but that it trudges forward because the future is digital and the winning technologies will have a place in it. To what extent and what specifically that looks like is anyone's guess. ICP isn't only crypto though. It's web2. You can host websites, apps, etc. without reliance on big tech (remember that AWS outage a couple weeks ago)? Caffeine AI recently came out and allows anyone without coding experience to quickly build/deploy straight to the blockchain (unlike Lovable/Replit/etc. that are not even close to being one stop shops). This space is way too full of cynical degenerates looking to scam one another. Some cool shit is actually being made. Kaspa is another great project that is fair launched like BTC but is actually scalable/usable en masse. Have some imagination and think for yourself man. Good luck 🙏

baIIern

Your bubble makes you think that all this is huge and big and \[buzzword\] but in reality nobody is actually using crypto and especially not ICP for anything on a larger scale

Longjumping-Bonus723

This is bullshit. The ICO was fucked up. Generally the price Action wasn't too bad just look at the position. It's #26 by market cap. ICP is great tech that's why I hold it. On chain storage and great interoperability and security. Easy. It was time the price appreciation started.

Mirko_91

ICP is now -98% down from its ATH in BTC value, instead of -99% from 2 weeks ago.
