Regarding ICP and nICP, an observed phenomenon is worth discussing.

This project has always had a strong technical narrative, but after five years, there are few tangible applications and external collaborations. The ecosystem seems more like a closed system built in-house, with liquidity mainly limited internally.

If the team truly wants to activate the ecosystem, why not promote the internal ICS trading platform to connect with mainstream exchanges? Wouldn't that quickly open up the situation?

Perhaps the underlying logic is that resource investment and expected returns haven't been properly accounted for. Technical R&D is costly, ecosystem support also costs money. If the team prefers a conservative fund management strategy, they naturally wouldn't heavily invest in promotion.

However, this approach might pose a long-term challenge to the vitality of the ecosystem.

Basically, ICP is a project that hits a ceiling of technology and has been stuck in the same place for the past five years. I'm really tired of the closed ecosystem approach; it's better to just admit there's no money for promotion.

Ah, no matter how high the technical ceiling is built, the ecosystem still needs people to live in it. Well, basically it's just the embarrassment of having money with nowhere to spend. Five years of self-indulgence, that's a bit absurd. Not connecting with mainstream exchanges? Then it's truly a self-ruining situation, who can you blame? Being conservative is indeed stable, but if this continues, the enthusiasm will really die.

Being technically strong is one thing, but after five years, are you still just indulging in self-amusement? Isn't this a typical case of "I'm really awesome but no one knows"?

After all these years of working on technology, it's still the same as always; the ecosystem remains unchanged.

No matter how advanced the technology is, building an ecosystem in isolation is a dead end.
