I know it all depends on the success of their investments, but lets say they only return 10% in the first year (which is still impressive imo), would that mean 10% of 4.5mill so 450k turned into eth then split by 100million, so each icn see's 0.0045 usd/year? So if i hold 1000icn i see 4.5usd return a year as a dividend?
OMFG ... 4.5 USD / year ? That is huge ... to the moon ...
So ... lets do some calculation ...
1000 ICN x 0.00020000 BTC\ICN (ICO price) => 0.2 BTC invested for 1000 ICN
4.5 USD in dividends / 1000 ICN / year => 4.5 USD / 745 USD/BTC => ~ 0.006 BTC / 1000 ICN / year
So the ROI would be 0.2/0.006 => ... ~ 33.33 years ... this is huge wtf ...
So ... lets discuss further about dividends and where should you keep your ICN in order not to miss the precious dividends.
My prediction is like this: people will post pics with Lambos, and to the moon sheet, price will slowly go up until the dividends are payed because people are retarded and refuses to make simple calculations ... this will be the perfect time to sell ... people will smash their head on the cruel reality and will dump the tokens as fast as they can. So you will be able to re-buy them at ICO price ... or under. Then the next waive of delusional expectation will come.
This dividends BS is just that BS ... the real value is a pump and dump. IT has to be pumped to 5 USD, then people will dump to some stupid delusional guys thinking this will go to the moon. There is the profit. Then those will realized they've been high doing that and will dump also but at an ICO like price ... then normal people will buy back and voila ... profit. And the cycle will resume ... but not with dividends ... probably second cycle will be with the mighty "platform" ... sure ... managing funds. Of course no one really knows in practice how it will be. But is good to be use for another pump and dump.
It's like with any crypto project. They are all great in theory, but without getting adopted by the mainstream most of them won't survive.
That's where iconomi is in my opinion way better then other projects: they have a financial product, which offers an easy bridge between the large group of people who have no idea of crypto besides that that's the place where huge money flows and where the future is.
If the team succeeds with their marketing (PR team sits at wallstreet) and makes some deals with major platforms, magazines and so on to attract a wide investor base, I really see no point for your sarcasm. Pump and dump will always be a thing, look at the stock market! But this won't make ICN less valuable that it is.
