Hmm.. I'm not sure if you have an agenda, but what you've said is clearly a bit of a stretch. Honestly, I am not sure if you're trying to undermine the project or if you had mistakenly bought into the lies fabricated and perpetrated by the FUD group.  But I'd like to take this opportunity to set the records straight.

Does ICN constitute a bearer share or a registered share of Iconomi ltd in Slovenia?  Definitely not! 1. You're not eligible to vote on bylaws or any affair pertaining to the company. 2. You do not enjoy any right as a stockholder. 3. You're not eligible to become a director.. and the list goes on.  I'm sorry to say that you're not a shareholder of Iconomi or its parent company.  To me, ICN is more like a crowdfunding token and a profit-sharing plan - with no voting right or guaranteed dividend written in any official document, and nowhere mentioned on the ICO site that ICN constituted shares in the Iconomi company.  Obviously, when it comes to Crypto, there's lots of grey areas.  But calling it a company share or security offering is definitely stretching too much.  Furthermore, Iconomi has stated outright that no US participation will be allowed in ICNX/ICNP sales.  I think it is very wise of them to decide not to enter US retail market as US's protectionist monetary policies (and measures taken to prevent capital flight) are not so different from China's at the moment (a country I consider hostile to Crypto).

So whoever told you that Poloniex cannot list ICN because it violates SEC rules, I'm sorry to say that they were lying to you. This is my space, so I'm pretty sure I'm correct in this regard.  The truth is.... I'm really tired of this -- people just pull stuff out of their hats in an attempt to mislead the blind & the uneducated.  Please stop perpetuating those lies fabricated by those FUD groups.  It's just BS and nonsense.

On 2nd thought, I don't really care what you believe. If you believe the FUD, just sell your position and walk away. Simple as that.  

PS: Honestly, I'm very curious why so many FUDders seemed to be attracted to this project.  Is it possible that they might be from competing projects?     There's just so many lies perpetrated by people without knowledge. I am not sure if they're doing this intentionally.

Not really man people count on BTC ETF  that news if hit hard can blow up BTC price or make it fall a bit like few times before.
I don see reason why SEC will not postpone decision once more since they play ping-pong for 3 years now...
But BTC ETF news makes it viral once again ": ) even China blocking exchanges didn't stopped it.

PS: I prefer hold becouse selling now is not best way to exit.

there's still Livecoin, Mercatox (both in UK) and Liqui (Ukraine) to trade ICN.

Depends man how will that plays out that mean BTC ETF is not going on like was for 3 years.
Thye postpone once again.
China have locked BTC withdrawals now for next months that is 2 months.
BTCC china CEO have runned away to Canada ...
Up and what now ? Massive BTC dump and cash goes to alts.
And ICN is for me one of best picks close to NEM, ETH, Dash, XMR to be pumped on that alt wave. ^^

Markets sometimes can trick you ^^ with your predictions. 

1. No one was prevented from speaking at a conference! Pure lie.

2. There is no BTC ETF! It's an ongoing game waiting to happen for the past 3years - and still it didn't happen.

Get your facts straight please.

I really hate lies.    Some of the lies are so outrageous, this FUD thing is making me sick to my stomach... so immoral..  And it would appear that it did have some sort of effect on casual investors.  I'm wondering if a reddit AMA session would help in this case.

1. Ok, I was wrong about that. This is a serious issue because I have been following ICN closely and I still missed the confirmation that ICN spoke at the conference. I apologise for being wrong -
communication needs to be better.
2. They are expecting a decision on the BTC ETF on March 11th, the BTC price rise is a speculative response to that. It may or may not happen, but the price will rise in anticipation.

I'm not a fudder, I think ICN has a great future, but the essence of what I said is right.

900k buy orders back from the pumpsters (250k was it 5 hours ago)

They seem to plan driving people into "panic buys" of the coins they fuddled out of panic-selling people to make a profit (just guessing, but with that amount they could easily drive the price up to 0.0005 again)

It´s crazy, but if you don´t panic it´s quite interesting to observe the graph Kraken 

Fear mongering still works in 2017? Didn't the Rothschild's do the same thing after they lost the war so they could buy up all of the enemies shares?
Never trade based on fear. When the ICN platform launches, I don't care if it's 2 days, 2 weeks, or 2 years from now...if you get caught on the outside ICN will be damn near impossible to buy. Do you really think Kraken, a US exchange would list ICN if there was going to be an indefinite issue for US citizens? Now....you can do whatever you want to do with your ICN. I'm buying and holding. I look at Iconomi as the future version of the DOW Jones industrial fund. I'm exited and lucky to be part of this project. You do realize that out of ALL crypto currencies ICN is consistently ranked in the top 12 and at one point was in the top 10...while the product is still in Beta. I'm a REAL investor. I don't trade based on fear. Reminds me of Chinese investors dumping Bitcoin due to Government fear tactics. Nowww look...Bitcoin is close to reaching all time highs. Whoever sold is kicking themselves in the ass right now. Oh yeah...I'm up 80% in the stock market and 400% in the cryptosphere. I have balls...I don't fear dump...it always pays off. Word of advice...if the trolls say sell, BUY. They don't have your best interest at heart. They want to see you fail.  

+1
This is a long term project. The potential it has is beyond imagination. Just think about the money that let's say 5 big hedge funds are managing and compare it to the entire crypto market cap..

That's just a glimpse of the potential of a solid crypto fund managing platform
