even though I see a lot of criticism that ICP gets because of it’s name and being a little hard to use it’s Dapps, but I think this project is like a revolution in the blockchain space.
1) Team
before their mission, one of the thing that really impressed me was the team, the internet computer’s team is probably one the most legitimate teams that I’ve ever seen in the crypto space, with hundreds of high level engineers, this project is far away from being a scam
2) Mission
People don’t realize that icp is the only chain to run full dapps from the blockchain.
Other projects only use blockchain to interact with tokens. You can’t really use other L1’s for more than a NFT marketplace or DEFI site with at least a centralized frontend. Anything more does not run from the blockchain and is a false narrative. No blockchain runs their games from the blockchain except icp.
did you know that 60% of ETH nodes are hosted on Amazon? Or that NO NFT are actually on ethereum and the images are hosted on opensea’s servers?
this is only one example that we are so far away from true decentralization in crypto, because one way or another we are relying on a centralized service like AWS or Google Cloud, ICP is the only thing that can really take away all the centralization in crypto
3) Clarity
despite being one the most complex projects out there, ICP has one the most complete and clear whitepaper and documentations in crypto, that is a good roadmap for even an average person to understand and start with ICP
also it was very impressive to see very detailed answers by the team members in their reddit community. check this one for example
