Unpopular opinion: These recent complaints about marketing, lack of DApps and the claim that @minhokim has "no plans" for ICON public blockchain is just hysteria over current price stagnation fueled by cancerous P-Reps. (Who publicly spread FUD about their own project.) $ICX
$ICX was never an Ethereum competitor. Long term holders have always claimed that ICON was different because of its partnerships with big companies and SK's government. ICON is supposed to be the glue that brings it all together. (Private companies using MyID, for example...)
What's changed? Why do we need more Dapps all of a sudden? Why are people demanding price action in the short term even before freaking MyID is released??? (which is just the first step)
"Screw years of development, giant banks, exchanges and other companies ready to use MyID in the future. What we need is f*cking CryptoKitties! Link is pumping and I want to be rich now too! Min should be giving money to youtubers to pump our coin!" Is this really logical to you?
You say that ICON public chain is dead but, in reality, it's still the closest project to being mass adopted by a whole country in my opinion. Dapps and transactions are absolutely irrelevant for this goal in comparison to government and enterprise adoption.
Besides, many of those claims are simply not true. @ICONHyperhack is bringing a whole bunch of new developers and projects into the ecosystem. A very recent marketing project has also been approved. So what's this uproar all about?
Just for the record, I'm not against more marketing or anything like that. But there's a big difference between criticism with an action plan and hate attacks. I saw PUBLIC REPRESENTATIVES spreading FUD and saying people should move to other projects. Can you believe it?!
ICONLOOP's job is not to pump $ICX but to build products for companies and the general public that will need ICON's public chain... And they ARE doing their job. Have you been living under a rock? Price increase will be the product of mass adoption, not the opposite.
If you ask me, I believe ICON's true weak spot today is the current system for P-Rep delegation. The community was supposed to vote for the best people but, in reality, we have many that are only interested in the ICX rewards and keep on bashing the project online.
If I had a company interested in using ICON's services, I'd be very apprehensive seeing that, out of just about 100 P-Reps, many are publicly bashing the project and don't really give two fucks about it. This needs to change now or ICON's future is at stake... (no pun intended)
Anyway, I'll get some hate for this but I needed to speak. Good people of ICON community, don't let yourselves be manipulated by parasite P-Reps who only spread FUD and publicly beg for money. Don't let other coins' 2x pumps affect your rationale. (and you're still making 13% pa)
Remember why you really invested in ICON and check for yourselves if the promises are broken. Patience is key with $ICX. Mass adoption doesn't happen overnight. If you're not in for the long term, there are plenty of better projects for you. ✌️
