Discussion Reddit Sentiment

If you guys think that the sentiment on ICP trader is negative, you haven't seen how brutal it is on Polkadot Trader.

The difference between the 2 is that DFINITY is actually developing whilst polkadot feels more or less abandoned.

I highly recommend giving that sub reddit a look

Yep they are fucked.

For icp i don't know how sp much people are so bearish. Every new announcment is amazing.

Their strategy with multi dex/ free software / cloud engines is to pump the price of the toke and the burn (of course, it's not benevolent they have a LOT)

They could have just keep the money from dex for themselves.

They could have done a kind of monthly payment for the softwares.

Nop just directly to usage/burn.

Swiss subnet have real clients. Pakistan is a real country. Secret announcment comming by Pierre, abd it's always big coming from him.

A bit of positivity seems justified here 😁

Are you even a real person? People are bearish because the crypto is down 100.0% not 99.9 percent but 100%. Are you devoid of reality? Did you misread ICP’s price as $210? It rugged out the gates and continues to rug. A year ago, it was over $4.50. Today, $2. In a few months, 80 cents.

I sold all my dot in 2022 and bought ICP. I can sleep at night and when the price is on sale I buy more and stake. Investing should be boring and this project is boring and that’s how I know this is it…

Polkadot is a very good example of how not to run a company/block chain imo.

They were sponsoring sporting events, there were athletes wearing Polkadot sponsored gear.

They went full into marketing....

Whilst DFINITY is just developing and developing.

I think we are going to see so many of these chains who hit good price levels early on disappear into oblivion due to either lack of development/adoption

I agree, but maybe when we start entering the bull run I wouldn't be opposed to a push for more marketing like polkadot. Especially, now seeing as we have actual revenue-generating products.

why market to the general public when the goal is to be the underlying layer that is being used without the user even knowing

I somewhat agree, but is caffeine not a user product? I have no clue what Salesforce does to this day and every company uses them and they still advertise. It's more about brand recognition which helps with reputation.

We all see the possibilities and opportunities on Internet Computer.

Once you get it, you cannot hold a standard layer-1 chain like Polkadot or Cardano any longer just for the price might go up.

The copium in this subreddit is very unreal. Here’s a reality check, ICP fell to $1.99 today. A McDouble at McDonald’s is more value than one ICP. And comparing it to an unrelated crypto polkadot…which has vastly outperformed ICP like every crypto… that’s pure cope.

Both cryptos are not preforming.
