1. ICO price was 1 ETH for 175 NET. ICO price was $1.30USD per 100NIM, it means ICO price for 1 NIM = 0,013 USD. Now the price of NIM is 0.000806. Do the math yourself. It is 16x times smaller than the ICO price. If you had invested 100, now your investment is worth 16 dollars. What a great deal!
If you invested 100 USD into Bitcoin a year ago, your investment is probably also worth about 16 dollars now. Is Bitcoin dead as well?
2. They bought a 1.1 million dollar villa in Costa Rica. Read the fucking transparency report. It shows clearly that now they have a 1.1 million dollar villa describe as an asset. I don't think they bought the villa before the ICO.
They did neither mention they bought a villa, not that they did anything in Costa Rica. All they wrote is that they diversified into real estate.
3. They spent over 5 million dollar in the first year. Probably in 2019 they will spend another 5 million dollars for the software development (RUST, design, etc...) and market study. By the end of the next year, the project will simply be bankrupt and close exactly like Beepool without any warning.
The project can not close. That's by nature in a decentralized network. The team is no longer necessary to run the network or blockchain.
4. Their burning rate per month is higher than 250,000 usd because now it includes extra costs of traveling, more people in the team (they hired a bunch of newbies), marketing boat, etc. Probably for the moment, the burning rate per month is about $350,000.
Might be true, might be false. Still doesn't change a lot.
5. Beepool and Philpool both closed this week due to lack of keeping the joke alive for too much. The project just became worthless and it is just keeping alive. Like internet bubble, there will be a day when we will read a medium post: "Unfortunately, due to the high cost of the project, we need to shutdown the nimiq network. But still the source will be available on GitHub"
6. Robin lost a lot of weight ( ~ 50kg ) and you can see this by comparing the last videos from April with the really videos. Also there is a huge change in the mindset of Robin and the way he is looking in the camera. Most of the people from the nimiq community believes that Robin lost weight due to the fact that Robin used to consume coke and eventually he became an crack addict. In Central America coke is definitely way cheaper than in other places. This is the simple reason why at the moment Robin (the main guy) is not present in the videos and he lost a lot of weight
Can you please stop that "Robin (the main guy)" thing? The team repeatedly said that they are organized democratically and there is not a single main guy.
Somebody made accusations. There is no proof and part of his statements were shown to be wrong in the replies.
8. Why they pay shillers at all? The team said in many times that they will never use the shitcoin shillers to shill
Who decides what is a valid advertising strategy with evangelists and what is paying shitcoin shillers? Not you.
9. The active community is less than 30 people. Do you want me to count the active users in the last 30 days? Everybody else left the project for good. Including Robin the main guy
Yes, please count them and list all of them by name here so I can verify your countings. Thanks.
10. The killswitch are the seed nodes. If there wasn't any killswitch why in the world they have seed nodes and they keep them online. Moreover, a few months ago when they used to have problems with the seed nodes many of the users complied on discord that they couldn't use the safe wallet. By the way, the seed nodes cost more than $20,000 per month for the team to maintain it. Why it costs so much? Simply, the project is not salable and it will never be salable. Nimiq just transformed itself into an internet bubble that will pop this year, 2019
You can easily add seed nodes, just as any other altcoin, through the configuration file. You only need a single node to be available to continue operating the network. They provide the seed nodes as an additional service.
Where did you get the hosting costs of the seed nodes from? The transparency report has a category for "Digital Operations, Equipment", which totals to $239k, which is less than $20k per month, but also includes software licenses, hardware costs and so on.
