Don't expect dividends before OFM. There are only 3 possible dividends channels before OFM:
1. Selling Golem tokens - how much dividends this 20% profit of 5.000 eht is going to be?
2. ICNX - that is if people will invest into the index. It shouldn't yield much dividends at the beginning. The expected fees from the index is ~2% annual (not official numbers)
3. Selling future ICOs invested - we don't know where and how much Iconomi is going to invest, when those tokens are going to be tradable.
Dividends are going to play big role when OFM is active with sustainable userbase.
1. I'd expect the profit is dividend? so 20% ~ 1k eth?
2. where did you get that number from?
The numbers are not yet official, like I wrote. More of estimation. 2% management fee for CTFs is pretty standard. You won't get ALL profits from ICNP, that's for sure. ICNP was seeded with ICO money, so no reason for you to get 100% profits (it was not a direct investment)
being an eth based token its price gonna decline in accordance with bugs discovered in etherum. no need to speculate, you should consider yourself lucky that price did not go below ico buy levels.
Edit: yet
Maybe, as long as the platform is not active. Once you have OFM active, the price of ICN will be mainly determined by the quality of the product and the amount of users and money in the platform, and not by the underlying blockchain.
indeed, that is the only reason i have not sold a single ICN yet. however, the nightmares are real! it can happen any day.. any time.. any moment. i am relatively new in crypto but the frequency of bugs discovered in ETH are alarming.. maybe you guys migrate to a more stable platform? NXT and Stratis look promising
if you invest in project then you must trust the tim and respect they decisions . Nobody forced you to buy icn
