It is like a buble. Why would a fiat investor put money, or invest money in index managed by a company like that?
Add to that that this is crypto, and most potential fiat investor don't even know what that means.
The fiat investor will invest in the index if they trust the company is good at managing the index or because they like the platform ... that has nothing to do with the value of the ICN token. The token it was a way of gathering money for development/fund/index ... and now is just a way to spread the dividends. The owners can trade that as they wish at the price they wish. If I believe the value of the token will be 10 USD ... I will just not sell at 1 USD ...
If the price goes to 1$ that means there are people that are willing to pay 1$ for an ICN. Why? Why the f**k does anyone care ? Is their decision/risk/money. Maybe they think / hope that when the platform is ready the price will jump to 10-15 USD ... and 1 USD is a good entry point. Why not let the market decide the price. No risk for the devs and for the gathered money.
And please .... let's not start again with the bounty BS ... that was not the point of me bringing it up. Its really not relevant at this point. It was just an example to justify my opinion that the token not being listed on Polo / Rex is not because of fees that needs to be payed.
