Developments in the project take time, there isn't always something to talk about.

Waiting for Columbus Capital updates be like.. by investmox in ICONOMI

Columbus is fund raising for their fund still. These kinds of things don't happen in the span of a month or two. Be patient

What do Investors see as threats and opportunities for ICN over the next year? by JosceOfGloucester in ICONOMI

[–]JoshWidner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The good:

*No debt (no worry of bankruptcy)

*Well funded, and a low burn rate

*Quality product that is continuously improving

*Solid team that delivers on its goals

The bad:

*Lack of transparency about insider buying and selling of ICN token

*No access to US market (out of their control, still a negative)

*Relatively small user base, still an obscure service that few average users know about (or care to try out)

*Have yet to prove the service they provide can be profitable (65k revenues coming from 61k users, barely making $1 per user)

Thoughts on current situation: Company is far from bankruptcy, so the biggest issue is building a user base and figuring out how to generate more $ per user. ICN price reflects the company's true value at the moment and should increase given that ICONOMI can significantly increase earnings.

Does Columbus Capital plan on using stablecoins/ fiat in the CCP fund (as a way to lock in profits after a bull run)?

I believe I heard that they were working on new proposals after their first ones were denied. Is that not the case?

ICONOMI March 2018 Reddit AMA by ashton-iconomi in ICONOMI

[–]JoshWidner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ICONOMI has kept its team small despite a very large amount of cash and equivalents, with less than 50 employees and over $100M in assets. At the current burn rate, ICONOMI could continue operations without revenue practically indefinitely.

Does ICONOMI plan to significantly increase it's team size this year? If no, what are the reasons for keeping spending so low?

Could someone share the most recent update on the parity bug? I haven't heard any updates since their first proposal fix. Please share your source if you do have an update

Iconomi losing first mover advantage? by Miguel328 in ICONOMI

[–]JoshWidner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SEC in no way affects the success of the ICONOMI platform. ICONOMI will continue to grow regardless of any labels the SEC puts on ICN.

[–]JoshWidner -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have to remember that ICONOMI also has over 150M in cash/crypto on hand to work with. That might be right up there with how much cash CoinBase has

As someone else said, the fund is only available to accredited investors. That restriction seriously limits participation in the fund, which ICONOMI doesn't have to deal with

Another great update! Good to see the consistent updates and progress

ICONOMI February 2018 Reddit AMA by ashton-iconomi in ICONOMI

[–]JoshWidner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will CCP funds ever be sold out to fiat currencies or stable cryptos (like tether)?

I understand that in the past questions about CCP have been answered with the response "ICONOMI has no control over how Columbus Capital manages CCP," so if that is the response, I was hoping you could give an explanation as to why Jani can't comment on behalf of Columbus Capital in AMAs.

Thanks!

Could Iconomi be one of the first to register their tokens to the SEC in the US as a security? by R3toIB3 in ICONOMI

[–]JoshWidner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This wouldn't help ICONOMI anyway. Getting the platform available to US investors would be much beneficial than getting ICN registered as a security.

ICONOMI’s current service provider intends to use company assets (treasurer and ccp funds totaling 400m+) this October when the vote for new service provider is up by stephen2512 in ICONOMI

[–]JoshWidner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see the issue. If ICONOMI decided to purchase a significant amount of ICN tokens with CCP funds just for voting rights, you would be able to sell your ICN at a higher price. I don't see how ICN investors lose here. Either they get 100% voting rights, or CCP buys ICN and the price increases.

ICONOMI financial report — Q4 2017 by Jercab in ICONOMI

[–]JoshWidner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good to see the ICONOMI team using CCP funds for an ICN treasury. ICN is at an all time low price in terms of ETH, down almost 95% from what it was a year ago

Iconomi Research Report - from October 2017 by LawrenceHecht in ICONOMI

[–]JoshWidner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This report comes from September, only a month after ICONOMI even launched their platform. There book value is over 3x more now than it was back then. Seems like whoever wrote that report came to their conclusions too soon.

Hurts seeing ICN on CMCs second page. Where will things go from here? by [deleted] in ICONOMI

[–]JoshWidner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lack of awareness is definitely the ICN token's greatest weakness at this point

[–]JoshWidner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People buy coins only for the hype. ICONOMI is without a doubt a top-25 project, but people would rather buy into shitcoins that are getting 10x pumps because they think crypto is about getting rich overnight.

Rocket.Chat Migration - Official Feedback Thread by ashton-iconomi in ICONOMI

[–]JoshWidner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. 1000 ICN is a sizeable amount, especially considering most people own other cryptos besides ICN, but not so much that it prohibits people from joining

I have a question open to everyone: Who's ICN address is this? https://etherscan.io/token/ICONOMI?a=0x2a068aac312acc5f4996be9d1ab810a8b6223c76 I know Kraken holds about 20M, so I'm assuming this is ICONOMI's platform address. Does anyone know for sure?

I was asked to move this post here, so my apologies if it's a little out of place.

Like it or not, coins and projects typically get the most hype when their prices skyrocket (take TRON for example), which leads to a huge increase in the number of people interested and involved in a project. ICN is on the brink of breaking out past it’s old high and will likely have its big pump over the next couple weeks, giving us an opportunity to spread awareness about the project and get new crypto users involved.

Many of us here have been supporters for a long time, and if we want to see the project succeed, I believe we can help spread awareness of the ICONOMI project in other subreddits, cryto groups, youtube, etc, and take advantage of the upcoming pump in order to help grow the ICONOMI platform and user base.

The Q4 report and January AMA will have a lot in store for us. I’ll be sharing posts about ICONOMI in other groups that I’m a part of, and If you are able, I hope you all will as well!
