I bought this coin because of the technology and the development behind it. I thought ICON was going to lead south korea into the promise land.

I bought REQ at 5 cents. sold most at 25 cents, but over 250k into ICON at 2 dollars and some change when it opened on binance.

I then sold off some FSN and the rest of my REQ so I could muster up 100k ICX tokens because I thought staking was right around the corner.

Fastforward 3 months later, staking details yet to be released, token swap still underway, no REAL technical developments yet...

Am I unequivocally fucked or is there still hope that maybe one day ICON will hit 10 dollars again?

I would have never thought in my wildest dreams that ICON would be at 1 dollar and 30 cents today...

Because I was too busy in college trying to fit in and make friends and not be a crypto nerd which ironically is what made me stay poor.

I also missed wanchain and other because I was trying to get my "education".

Based on the way things are going right now, ICO price is where this thing will be in 3 months.

it just broke the 2200 support. things aren't looking good, man. there's a high possibility it'll dump to sub $1 soon. i'll keep holding my tiny stack though just because i believe the team will deliver.

"support" for altcoins doesn't exist if they are trading against BTC imo.

I believe the team will deliver too, but I have believed the team will deliver for what, 6 months now. And i'm still here on my ass twiddling my thumbs.

Depression kicking in.

Went from 1.2 Million USD to 150k now.

if ICON goes sub 1 dollar ill have gone from over 1 mill to under 100k

No I didnt "invest" over 1 mill into a shitcoin, it hit 1 mill worth.
Also, I didn't cash out because I thought staking was right around the corner. My goal was to be able to make like 50-100k a year from staking to where I could live and never have to cash out my initial investment.

Like a dividend stock or ETF/Index fund with the stock market.

>> No.10243195

No I truly thought staking was right around the corner.

I have a friend who put 20k into a coin and now makes over 200 dollars a day from staking alone.

Staking isnt a meme, but its a hard gamble.

why would you want to stake a super ultra speculative asset when you can take out that milly and buy real estate which gives you same or even better returns?

- Cash out 1 Million
- $300K max short term capital gains
- Invest $700K in broad index fund
- 7% average interest = 50K per year
- $200K to play and lose in crypto

People need to stop buying into the crypto passive income masternode bullshit. You never ever hold that much money in a completely speculative asset that could go to near zero in a matter of weeks. Stock market actually would have given you that income with minimal risk compared to crypto

I know your pain. All in on ICX since day 1 Binance listing and they have continuously underperformed. I know everyone says oh they’re underrated etc, but at this point it’s clear it’s just another project that has no real merit in the crypto world. Everyday I’m waiting for updates on staking or anything but it’s just continuous delays.

I had over 330k at ATH. It’s not fallen below my buy in price and I got in on day 1. I can only imagine the others who have gotten gooked so bad.

Basically the ICO holders and those on the inside dumped and easy millions while the rest of us suffer.

Holy fuck, that's rough. At this point you're doomed to hodl. No doubt it will eventually surpass the old ATH. Could be a year tho.

This will never reach ath again.
Your best bet is to sell and rebuy at 50 cents.

I would love to see it hit another ATH.
I'm willing to wait a year if that means it even hits 10 dollars honestly.

Dude literally anything is going down the shitter, all those people pointing out a single crypto like in your case Icon have no idea that everybody lost a shit ton money by investing in other coins. Icon is in my opinion still a top hold if you compare it to REQ which is down under its Ico price. Icon is still 13x or something above ico price which should tell you something about this project. But with Bitcoin getting fucked in the ass by market manipulators this market is doomed, it is led by the biggest pile of shit, just look at the bitcoin subreddit this should tell you enough what kind of people have invested in crypto

M8 I'm not just trying to FUD or rub it in. But I am really good at following trends and short term predictions of coins. Icx seems to have lost its glow. I dont see buyer support, fomo or anything even when btc is going up.

That code mistake really let ppl down and I think they were like wow.... so it was a chink/gook scam.
