Social networking platforms
Social networking platforms are one of the hardest projects to pull off. Why ? Because their value comes directly from the number of people using the network, if there aren’t enough users/content creators to interact with in a social networking platform, users won’t stick around, and the platform would collapse. There are multiple ways of building a successful social networking platform as we saw from real life examples:
The Facebook method
Facebook started as a social networking app trying to attract the smallest possible network that can maintain itself, they started at the campus of Harvard University where at the time there were barely any major social media platforms aside from MySpace. Once they were capable of maintaining the network they created at Harvard they started moving into other universities slowly growing into the Global social media platform that was booming in 2008
The TikTok method
TikTok took a different approach, they started with aggressive expansion from day one. There were enough social platforms to learn from their experience, and they knew that where there is content there will be users to view the content. So they attracted content creators by being the platforms paying highest rewards for their content creators. That’s when TikTok started booming
IONs Online+
@ice_blockchain is following the method TikTok followed and more. They have the funding, the skills, and the publicity to start aggressively growing from day one. The fact that they are the first decentralised social networking platform is giving them a huge hype, and the partnerships they are creating with large influencers and public figures which are being onboarded into online+ and preparing content for their followers as I write this post is going to drive all of their followers into the platform from day X. According to Andrew Chen, who was part of countless projects that involved social interactions like Uber and Tinder. You can always categorize the users of a platform, and recruiting one category is always a higher priority for the success of the network. In social networks there are the content creators and the users who interact with them, and the content creators are always the highest priority because they drive in the users, and that is exactly what @ice_blockchain is doing with online+. They are recruiting already well known influencers into their platform as well planning on rewarding new influencers with attention based rewards, similar to what TikTok did in its early days
Why $ION ($ICE) will succeed as a coin
While the price of $ION ($ICE) has been stable the past couple of weeks, it has a huge potential at becoming one of the top XX coins in the crypto space. $ION ($ICE) will have major usecases in online+ that go beyond simply trading it for short term profit, like Creator tipping for example. This will drastically increase the demand for $ION ($ICE). Combine that with the set max supply of 21.150B tokens with 31%-32% of it in circulation, and the predictable and preplanned increase of coins in circulation through emission-based staking rewards, Vesting & Unlocks, Treasury Incentives, etc… It is almost guaranteed that demand will stay > supply for a long time, and we all know the results that come from that. Eventually supply and demand will even out which will result in the price staying in a stable area, which is why it is important to go in early.
Criticism over app/play store review time
I see many people demanding an explanation as to why the app is still in review at the app stores and not released yet. The answer is simple, it’s not.

So when you start using it, you already have your favourite public figures to interact with them and don’t close the app X minutes after installing it.
Proof of their constant hard work
The easiest way to prove their hard work is to look at their repos in Github. Even if you don’t know anything about creating software you’ll still be able to see the changes being made daily by them with meaningful comments for you to understand what each change is about:
- IONs GitHub account: where you can see when was the last update made on each service that is part of the project easily
- ION’s app changes: where you can see the changes that they talk about. Today there were XX changes made by X different developers.
Conclusion
Is it a scam ? Definitely not, the cost of creating such a project will outweigh any benefits they can gain through scamming us. Is it a risk ? Every new project is a huge risk, but remember that there will be no profits without taking risks. I personally see huge potential in @ice_blockchain and online+.
