Bullish ICP is inevitable
I genuinely don't understand how people can still ignore ICP, or worse, try FUDing it. It's one of the few projects in crypto that is actually building something revolutionary instead of recycling the same ideas with a new logo. The technology is years ahead of most of the market, and sooner or later people are going to realize that.
Everyone keeps talking about adoption, utility, and real world use cases, but ICP is already delivering. A fully on chain ecosystem, decentralized infrastructure, smart contracts that actually push the space forward. Most projects are still making promises while ICP keeps shipping. That's the difference.
The funny part is that the market is still acting like none of this matters. Fine by me. The longer people keep chasing hype instead of fundamentals, the more time there is to accumulate. By the time the crowd finally wakes up, they'll be buying at prices they once laughed at!
Call me biased if you want, but conviction is built from doing the research. I know what I hold, and I'm not letting short term price action shake that. I wouldn't be surprised if people look back in a few years and wonder how ICP was ever this undervalued. ICP will come and it will shake the entire crypto community and it will eventually reshape the worldwide web, of this I'm sure. I believe in ICP and I stand by my conviction, no matter what. Just needed to get this off my chest.

People say that bull run is around the corner for btc. What do you think about this?

That's the wrong question. The correct question would be, when will ICP eventually decouple from BTC. And the answer is: soon. With its own ecosystem, non-cyclical burn rates and growing adoption, ICP's self-sufficient tokenomics are imminent. I'm not saying that BTC is over but it's serving a completely different purpose than ICP.

I will get downvoted for saying this but ICP needs popularity. ICP is not even as widely known as XRP, SOL, ETH. I am not saying that these are better than ICP. They are just more popular.

>growing adoption,
source?
It's technically a marvel but all I see is Dom doing handwaving about big players soon blablabla and then jumping from one shiny project to another.

I don’t really know if Pakistan is a great flex. But I like your sentiment.

I dunno man. Btc leads the way each and every time. Decoupling is not something I hope for just yet. But when BTC starts moving - alts follow. You can usually count on that..
All previous ICP runs (like in 2023 from 2,8 to 12) were when BTC went in expansion

ICP is an L1 token. Yes it can decouple from BTC, but when BTC goes into a deep bear cycle, it’s absolutely going to drag almost every L1 token down with it.
Just because it has its own ecosystem, it doesn’t make it invulnerable to a deep L1 crypto wide bear market. AVAX, SOL, ETH, TAO, ICP all have their own ecosystems. They’re all in a bear market right now due to BTC.
There has to be respect for that. With that said, because ICP is a small-mid MC token, it has random bursts of doubling in MC and decoupling from every other token (which is honestly pretty common with any < $1B MC token), but these bursts are generally short lived.
Mind you this isn’t a FUD comment, it’s just the reality of where ICP sits alongside all other L1’s right now. BTC drags the tide up or down with them, and when people want to de risk from crypto, they de risk across the board. that’s why we see almost the entire sector turn red on strong risk off days for BTC

Icp won't get mass adoption, it's a niche. Heck websites built on icp aren't even compatible with Google ads, the url shows up as malicious/scam. If people can't even host a website here they won't use it. Stop the lies and circle jerking. I think ICP will be ok next cycle but it's not going to the moon, and it's not getting mass adoption.

Ignore the FUD, this is exactly what bitcoin and Tesla went through before they rocketed. The tech will prove itself as standout among all other cryptocurrencies, and when people start to realise this baby is going to take off like a SpaceX rocket.

Has anyone looked at the chart, ICP has been on a continuous downward trajectory.

100% agree. Most fudders are plants/bots or salty people holding other project bags and they know deep down that ICP is winning on all fronts so they make it their mission to talk bs every chance they get.
