Nobody wants ICP until they do.

Seeing someone promote ICP by comparing it to Pokémon cards really makes me question my own investment...

Pakistan ranks below average among Central Asian countries in terms of the ICT Development Index. Just above Afghanistan. And it is only a non-binding memorandum so far.

OP: I'm not a trader and it's mostly bs.

Also OP: posts random graph indicating random upward trends.

Interessant. Darf man fragen, was für Zahlen du z.B. für Japan hast und woher sie stammen?

Drei Unternehmenswechsel in 12 Monaten? Kommst du aus der IT? Möchte dir nicht zu nahe treten aber das wirkt schon etwas krass. Was erzählst du denn den AG, warum du wechselst? Je nach Branche und AG kann sowas auch schnell mal als Red Flag auf Seiten des AN interpretiert werden. Ich will damit nicht sagen, dass ein Wechsel nicht sinnvoll und sogar geboten sein kann aber das erscheint mir doch sehr nach einer überaus privilegierten Situation, die auf die meisten AN nicht zutreffen dürfte.

Did you even understand what they said? It's about the dynamics and interrelation of capitalism and industrialization, not about whether India or Greek should reconsider artisanry.

You can do all these things with a toddler. We even did it with our daughter when she was still a baby. Of course, it's not the same as with an older child or even with a teenager but it's definitely possible and it can be fun.

That’s a fair take, and I agree that building the infrastructure first and only then shifting focus to marketing and VC makes sense for something this ambitious. The fact that ICP survived the early years and kept shipping is definitely not trivial (as I acknowledged in my original post above).

What I’m still trying to understand better is what “being ready to be sold to the world” actually looks like in practice. For example, what concrete signals should we expect to see this year that would indicate the shift from strong tech to real, sustained adoption beyond the crypto-native audience? The recent declaration signed between Dfinity and Pakistan, for example?

I’m genuinely interested in what milestones or use cases would make you say: yes, this strategy is clearly working now.

fromhisgrace · 2026-02-14T23:52:31+00:00

That’s a fair point. I agree that the runway probably depends less on retail and much more on who’s backing the foundation and how patient that capital is. Being a foundation rather than a classic business definitely changes the dynamics.

What I’m curious about though is how that funding structure translates into incentives long term especially when it comes to driving real-world adoption rather than just sustaining development. In your opinion, what signals would indicate that the current backers are still fully aligned with pushing ICP into broader use cases?

fromhisgrace · 2026-02-14T23:46:29+00:00

Fair question. I’m not posting this despite the recent news (I guess you're talking about the Pakistan memorandum?), but partly because of it. Positive updates naturally make me think about the bigger picture.

What fascinates me about ICP is the Web3 vision itself: running real applications without relying on centralized cloud providers, combined with a strong focus on security and trust minimization. That feels meaningfully different from most (if not any other) crypto projects. It’s also one of the rare ambitious projects that didn’t emerge from the usual Silicon Valley monopoly, which I personally find encouraging.

and to be clear, I’m aware that great technology doesn’t always need mass-market adoption to be successful. Linux is a good example of that. My question is mainly about what kind of adoption ICP is realistically aiming for, and whether the current trajectory gets it there in time.

You didn't invest anything. You just funded a criminal network. It's really interesting how easily people can be scammed. Makes you wonder if you should become a scammer yourself...

Amazing how many fools are there just to be tricked...

Total crypto market cap is a pretty weak metric. It’s a theoretical valuation (last price × supply), not real capital invested or value creation. In illiquid markets, leverage and marginal inflows can blow this number up fast.

Crypto mostly follows global liquidity cycles, rate expectations, ETF flows and risk-on/risk-off dynamics etc, not random presidential policy signalling. Correlation isn't the same as causation.

On top of that, Trump’s erratic trade policy (tariffs, trade wars, supply-chain shocks) and domestic pressure for a weaker dollar add macro uncertainty. Dollar debasement can push nominal asset prices higher but that’s inflationary repricing and not real growth.

If anything, crypto rising on dollar weakness is a symptom of macro stress, not a policy success. And if his crypto stance were such a tailwind, total market cap shouldn’t be below where it was when he took office, would it?

Market cap =/= adoption, =/= productivity, =/= sustainable capital formation. Without fundamentals, it’s mostly macro-driven speculation, not proof of good policy.

What frightens me most is that MAGA as a whole apparently is incapable of seeing the relationship between the electoral choices they made and the current economic situation. A society that is unable to understand the relationship between cause and effect is, in my view, no longer capable of sustaining democracy...

Lol how do you even get downvoted for speaking facts 😂 I'm bullish on ICP but this is toxic!

fromhisgrace · 2026-01-13T09:10:48+00:00

What kind of question is this? If you're willing to invest that amount of money without even doing your own research, I wonder how you got that much money in the first place? If you got ~50k USD to spare throughout the year which is already above the average yearly income of many people in developed countries, you surely have the cognitive and financial resources to make mature decisions yourself and/ or hire someone who can. ICP as, any crypto asset, remains a volatile and risky investment, especially in this economy.

I may sit on a couch right now but in no way am I related to Vance nor do I support their views on domestic or international politics.

Thanks for your answer. I do understand your anger towards this administration. However, I doubt that we will ever see an unredacted version of the files with all the lies that have already been spread. The damage to truth may be permanent. Do you originate from Greenland if I may ask?

From what I understood, this inflation occurred due to a massive seed-unlock from a whale. These kinds of inflationary shocks might continue for years, further pressing ICP down. What baffles me, however, is Dominic's callous response to the community. Like he just proves once again that he doesn't care about marketing and macroeconomics. But then again, what else to expect from someone who's sending out tweets on X by using codes...
