First of all let me give you an introduction of what is ICON.
ICON team is building a massive platform that will allow various blockchains to interact with each other via smart contracts. Existing within what developers brand the ICON Republic, communities will connect with each other using ICON’s loopchain technology. ICON’s end game is to provide a platform where players from financial, security, insurance, healthcare, educational, and commerce industries and beyond can coexist and transact on a single network. The team is based in south korea and switzerland.
ICO PHASE :
The ICO phase started in october 2017 and it has successfully ended in a few days if not few hours.
Mainnet :
Main net was meant to be launched in Q4 2017 but it got postponed to 24 january.
The Main net is still launching on 24 january. As they confirmed it on their official telegrams and to many people via emails.( it is still 24 january today we just got to wait)
They also confirmed that you will be able to trade ERC 20 tokens for ICX coins for months so that you can have time to do it.
Predictions:
When the MAINNET get launched we might see a huge runup as everyone is trying to have his hands on this coin. However be careful we might have a dip before it goes up especially if the mainnet launch takes too much time.
( this is not a financial advice , this is just my proper opinion)
