Honestly, is there a plan to make the value of ICN grow overtime ? What gives value to ICN ?! Profits turned into buybacks, ok, but what stops the platform from dumping ICN right after ?!
I think one of the special feature Lisk has is blocking it for further adoption. The DPOS system is great but the fact that Delegates are choosing which percentage of stake to distribute to voters is the BIGGEST down. The redistribution should be automatically set to proportion distribution no matter what and at 100% to all voters. If not it's a damn stupid game or marketing his own candidacy !
There is maybe some ups and downs, but at least the blockchain/coin is well alive and definitely going up on the long run. Most of "tokens" will fail, but most of "Blockchains" will suceed !
