I was early miner of DASH and must to say that some guys just had GPU miners while othere were runnig CPU one and that was obious that "fishy" was going on. Now from perspective i think allso to that translation from DARK to DASH was just to make greater foll effect not improve coin at  end.
"spork" - that was funny part of interview. All was even ok and iformative and as you said trashing DASH.

Mass adoption off course because imagine 21m active users who have average 1BTC in a wallet are much harder to attack BTC in various ways.
With mass adoption is harder to:
-control price no massive dumps and ups BTC will be good as money
-% of scammed BTC will be less
- harder to hack btc holders so a whole economy is more stable

massive up and down attracts speculators and traders, huge jups in price are scarrying regular users.
Try convince you mother to buy BTC that will be worth 30% less in next week.
Huge jumps are bad for people in general.

If ICONOMI will be something like Poloniex for investment funds and will bring new fresh $ into crypto getting over 10$ per one is not big deal.
While other big stock companies can "print" new stock when they want ICN amount is fixed and because of that can generate a lot wealth with good run.
If income will rise a price of ICN should rise to similar to stocks or even more because with real stocks u need pay broker and various fees + IRS that is annoying. ICN has simple usage and a mission : )

For me they are delivering.
I agree they are missing some timings.
Lunch was not really ICONOMI side fail.
But i won't put ICN into scam category for sure.
If you are ICN holder you can sell all now and get 200% from it. - who was scammed?
Even with some fails on the way project is moving forward.
Devs have locked their funds so i believe that they will bring price much higher in six months.

Looks like DAO 2.0 is coming those attempts to keep cash on blockchain are scary.
ETH can be exploited once again and Melon could get rekt.
While codding you can fail in something and it can  destroy whole project.
I don't believe in those advanced programs build on ETH chain.
In long run if ETH price rise maintenance cost will rise too.
With ICN you just pay fee and go there will be a lot more gas needed.

Whole crypto is based on dreams and vision. Its high time to give money back to people from bankers.
40% whole world economy is IOU/debt based system that is doing nothing to improve our lives.
Bankers are leeches and wee need get rid of them. Crypto is good way to start.
O think we are looking at some kind awaking.

How large was that wall ? 4m$ ? you are talking like it would be something huge buy in reality its just few BTC.
ETH walls have 800BTC and sometimes someone dump all into it in one SHOT.

Whales when want buy they put sell wall to scary noobs and push market in theyir favour.
When whales want sell they put big put buy wall to show some moron that there is some support near.
Good trader would never show you his position like that

BTC is for me long run hold.
ICN i treat more like effective ETH miner that won't go down with value soon.
If Iconomi will get Poloniex Coinbase scale it will be very interesting.
In UK they started 1st TC etf so such stuff will be legal in Europe.
While classic ETF are good ICN ETFs are more flexible no agreements 0-fines accessible 24/7 week
dividends paid directly. I see many advantage of ICN even with taxes because your profit is transferred directly into eth
and your will is to convert it to fiat or not.

In my bank account interest is charged with 20% income tax automatically everytime they pay profits.

If you have BTC and you plan long ruin with ICN then maybe wait a bit.
Or divide your investment into part like 5x20% and buy every week.
Trend in ICN is obvious uptrend so try catch in deep.
ICN price can hard  crash only on some fatal error with platform.
During BTC rise ICN holded strong ~30k sat so i don't belive in much more opportunity for you to get them lower
than 30k before platforms.

Clasic PnD move was on BTC like always uptrend have to be broken by market.
Give it a little time and BTC will continiue move forward.
Iconomi will rise soob becouse many cash soon will be reainvested into alts...
And we have 6000BTC to buy stuff.

As store of value BTC is crypto gold.
LTC silver I don't see that maybe Monero will be.

The next stage will be coin that are used for something ETH as vessel for payments can be good.
ETH as store of value is BS because of "political" forks with real money you can not turn back time.
Other coin if they will be usefull it will rise in price if not...

Transaction time of BTC? last time when i have send money to steam to buy PC game it took me 30s to pay and get stuff on account.
3 confirmations are not required everywhere.
Block size i think it will be reworked some da.
Alts will get some cash $ inside but in long term just best and REAL useful will survive.

BS
Yuan is at the same price (against dollar ) as 3 weeks ago, when it hit the lowest point since 2008.

but on bitfinex you can play with x100 leverage so hmmm i think if they want be in BTC they will

Was like that:
Fiat 0,13$
BTC 22 000 sat

When you have OWN 6000BTC in performance and lets say it gives you JUST 100% income this is 6000BTC / 10 000 = 579year
579/365 = 1,58$ daily per 10 000ICN just from OWN ICNP that capital was rissen in ICO so they have it.
Imagine that ICONOMI team GOT another 6000BTC into performance fund and you have 3$ from fees (1.58*2x)

People move 1000-2000BTC to scam ICOs so getting 6000BTC into performance is NOT impossible IMO.

So as you see 3$ day / 10 000ICN is quite easy with good management to earn just by performance fees.Add to all OFM fees and ICNx fees ^^
3$ is even low target IMO.

To have 10x pump with ~10 000 BTC volume you need to be on Poloniex not Kraken.
Kraken is good exchange but not best pumping one ^^

Faaster he sell the better for whole ecosystem will be IMO.

Kraken is not best PnD exchange most epic pumps are on POLO with 10 000+ BTC volumes.
But at leat at  kraken we have fair price of ICONOMI.

ICO was about 10 000sat for 80-90% of tokens.
Now you have 3800sat best offer on open legger.
We need real exchange with some volume.
