Hope this dividends are like a 1$ per token.
I see many are talking about dividends and retiring while I am sure most of them have some thousands ICNs (maybe). I am not sure what dividends people are expecting ... I doubt the value will be higher than a few cents / ICN / year. So really ... what money that would mean ... ? few $ / year for some one that invested few hundreds usd ? that is peanuts ... in risk / reward terms its just doesn't worth. Lets be honest ... dividends are for those that have > 100k-250K ICN ... for the rest the real value is in trading (selling high buying low). And I am talking about people at least in Africa and Est Europe where few hundred USD / year profit actually means something in practical terms and not for the western countries where this kind of profit would probably mean a couple of evening dinners at an average restaurant.
Even if its just a cent its still good for that proves someone that holds ICN can earn doing nothing but just hold.
Its not earning for doing nothing. You didn't do anything to earn those BTC/USD/ETH with which you bought the ICNs? When you invested 3-4 BTC and you end up earning few dollars a year ... that is peanuts. What do you think the ROI will be ? 3-5 years ? That is BS ... that is an eternity in crypto world. The ROI has to be less than a year, and hope for at least another year of profits until all goes to shit. You will not retire after investing few BTC in an ICO ... neither will you have any Lambos from such activity. If you were able to invest a really big chunk of money in this ... you probably already have a Lambo or something similar, and most probably do not read BTT
My thoughts exactly, still, this is cryptoworld, if I wanted regular dividends and ROI I'd put my money in Microsoft.
I'm stunned that people on the forum are just speculating on dividends per ICN. Not you, but others in this thread.
There are two ways to make revenue for Iconomi. One is collecting 2% of everything invested and up to 20% of profit generated from the performance fund.
So lets say they automatically start the performance fund with the $5M USD they had at the end of the crowsale.
Annually they would be collection 2% of that which is $100K, initially there is no profit, but let's say we look 6 months out and they double the investment fund size and also make a 25% profit on the perf fund. So $10M invested @ 2% = $200K + $10M * 0.25 * 0.2 (which represents 20% perf fee on the 25% profit) = $200K + $500K = $700K that is annualized revenue, now revenue - expense = profit so will they pull out money for the salaries of 30 people? If so, that $700K goes bye bye.
For kicks, let's assume that $700K goes straight to token holders instead. $700K / 100,000,000 ICN tokens = $0.007 / ICN ANNUALLY. So let's say you have 10K ICN you would make $70 ANNUALLY if paid WEEKLY you'd get $1.35 which is 0.13 ETH or so.
Bottomline, until the OFM gets going and people really throw money into this don't expect any real dividends.
