Over the past few months I came across ICON so much and yet I've never paid much attention to it because I was too busy learning other things.
I stumbled across this article on $ICX today and decided to give this a read. It's so in-depth and well written it's mind boggling to me. I generally prefer sharing my own thoughts to sharing another's but I had to share this one.
Here's the Medium article I'm speaking about
TL;DR: Go give a read.
$ICX is headed in the direction of being considered as mother of blockchains that aims to put countries on the blockchain. It has huge value proposition short and long and super long term, with and without taking money into consideration. Since its inception it's started off as a collaborative effort. They'd rather be the standard than waiting for someone to create it. This is a blockchain we wouldn't want to miss being a part of.
Price wise, it's a great time now to get in, since it's not present in most major exchanges yet and it's dropped to around $3 right now from the ATH of $12 in Jan 2018. Although there's not much clarity on the staking aspect just yet.
