I think you completely misunderstood my point. Let me respond to your argument.

Native Americans are an indigenous people, not a religion. Israel, on the other hand, defines itself as a Jewish state.

My point is that this land belongs to its native people — Arab Jews, Christians, and Muslims — not exclusively to one religion.

A European Jew who arrived in Palestine by ship does not automatically become the rightful owner of that land simply because he practices Judaism. His religion does not erase his European ancestry or give him the right to displace the people already living there.

The land belongs to its indigenous inhabitants, regardless of whether they are Jewish, Christian, or Muslim. Religion is not nationality, and religious identity is not a property deed.

[Conan Takiaddin @ConanTakiaddin]

Sorry, but you need to study the history of the Middle East before making claims like that.

Arab Jewish communities existed long before Islam, and Jewish tribes lived in Arabia centuries before the Muslim conquests. Christians were not wiped out by Muslims either. They remained an important part of the Levant for centuries and still exist today.

And if Muslims had truly eliminated all other religions, as you claim, how do you explain the ancient churches, monasteries, and synagogues that still stand across the Middle East, some of which have remained places of worship for centuries?

The people of Palestine did not magically disappear and get replaced in the seventh century. Over generations, populations changed languages, religions, and identities. Many Palestinians descend from the ancient inhabitants of the region.

Genetics does not support your claim that ancient Jews were completely unrelated to neighboring Levantine populations.

You’re confusing religion, ethnicity, and ancestry. History is far more complicated than your narrative.

[Conan Takiaddin @ConanTakiaddin]

I don’t care what Elon Musk’s Grok says. Musk is a supporter of Israel, and I strongly condemn his stance on the atrocities committed against Palestinians.

I’m not denying the rights of Jews who are indigenous to Palestine. My point is that belonging to a land is about historical and national identity, not simply religion.

Palestinian Jews, Palestinian Christians, and Palestinian Muslims all belong to that land.

But sharing a religion with people who lived there thousands of years ago does not automatically give someone from Europe, Africa, or Asia the right to arrive on ships, establish a state, displace the existing population, and claim exclusive ownership of the land.

That is what I call occupation, not a religious entitlement. Being Jewish does not automatically make someone indigenous to Palestine.

[Conan Takiaddin @ConanTakiaddin]

@menachem_raskin @wanna_be_syd @grok European Jews share genetics of Levantine people who are indigenous to the land.

Also, you completely ignored Mizrahi Jews.

Arabs only emerged there after the arab conquest on the 7th century, so they are in fact the actual colonizers …

[Conan Takiaddin @ConanTakiaddin]

Arabs did not suddenly appear in the Levant with Islam. Arab peoples and tribes lived across the Arabian Peninsula, the Syrian Desert, Jordan, Palestine, and Syria centuries before Islam. The Nabataeans were Arabs, and Arab kingdoms and tribes existed in the Levant long before the Muslim conquests. Among the Arab populations of the region were Jews, Christians, and later Muslims. My point is that religion and ethnicity are not the same thing. This land has been home to Arab Jews, Arab Christians, and Arab Muslims for centuries; belonging to a particular religion does not, by itself, determine someone’s ethnicity or exclusive ownership of the land.

No hype.
No empty promises.

Just data.

350 leads.
<$3.50 acquisition cost.
4.5x projected ROAS.
Buyback and burn roadmap.

The future of $ION is being built step by step.

[Ice Open Network @ice_blockchain]

💫 Over the past few weeks, we have been quietly testing, measuring, and learning.

No hype.

No big promises.

Just real campaigns, real users, real feedback, and real data.

Our first target audience has been developers, and we tested multiple campaigns across Tier 1 markets, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Europe, and other high-value regions.

These are some of the most competitive markets to advertise in, but they also bring the highest-quality leads.

So far, the campaigns have generated close to 350 leads, with an average cost per lead of $8.26.

After optimization, we managed to bring that cost down to under $3.50 per lead.

For an early test, this is a very promising signal.

Based on our current estimates, the lifetime value of a user exceeds $250.

With a 15% conversion rate, the model points to a potential ROAS of around 4.5x on ad spend.

For those who have never launched or scaled a product before, ROAS means return on ad spend.

In simple terms:

If we spend $10,000 on ads, a 4.5x ROAS means the campaign can generate around $45,000 in revenue.

In today’s market, where ads are expensive and scaling a product profitably is extremely difficult, this gives us a strong foundation to build from.

But this does not mean the work is finished.

It means the first real test gave us data worth taking seriously.

We are now preparing for Phase Two.

Phase Two is designed to get everything ready for the full launch.

That means:

Improving the product based on user feedback.
Preparing a stronger set of ads.
Trying to push acquisition costs even lower.
Optimizing conversion flows.
Improving onboarding.
Preparing the infrastructure for scale.
Making sure the product is ready before we open the floodgates.

We know some of you want things to move faster.

I understand that.

But this is not the moment to rush blindly.

This is our most important shot at rebuilding properly, and we want to do it with discipline.

The early numbers look strong.

The feedback is useful.

The acquisition model is starting to make sense.

And the direction is becoming clearer.

Once Phase Two is complete, we will push the campaigns much harder, scale from profits, and move toward Phase Three.

Phase Three is where the team becomes increasingly autonomous, where we no longer depend on tokens, and where we can activate the buyback mechanism.

From there, the goal is to start increasing the treasury and, at a later stage, activate the burn mechanism.

This is not about empty hype.

This is about building a product that can acquire users, generate revenue, scale through real business channels, and create long-term value for the ION ecosystem.

We tested.

We measured.

We learned.

Now we improve, prepare, and get ready to scale.

The whole market is down, not just $ION.

I believe the founder @ice_z3us didn’t launch the project yesterday because the entire crypto market — especially Bitcoin — is bleeding right now.

But as a $ION community, we still believe in the project, the vision, and the future. 💙🚀

Real communities are built during hard times, not only during pumps.

Stay strong. Stay patient. $ION will rise again.

[Conan Takiaddin @ConanTakiaddin]

This is what real building looks like. 🔥

While others chase hype, the $ION team is focused on something bigger:
real users, real revenue, real utility.

A new brand built for mass adoption, scalable marketing, and long-term ecosystem growth.

Pioneers again. 🚀

[Zeus @ice_z3us]

✨ Even though it is Sunday, I have personally spent more than 20 hours yesterday and today making sure everything is prepared for Monday.

I am honestly very hyped about tomorrow.

The next two weeks are extremely important for us and, in many ways, they will help define the future direction of $ION.

For those of you who have ever run ads or marketing campaigns before, you will understand what I mean when I say this: promoting Online+ through platforms like Google, Meta, and other major advertising networks was extremely difficult because of the nature of the product and its connection to crypto.

That created real limitations for us.

We could not properly promote it, scale campaigns, test audiences, optimize lead costs, or reach users in the way a normal product should be able to.

What we have built and are launching tomorrow is different.

From the beginning, this product has been designed with advertising compliance in mind, so we can finally run proper campaigns through platforms like Meta, Google, search, social, and other business acquisition channels.

The goal is very clear:

Bring in real users.
Generate real revenue.
Create real utility for the $ION ecosystem.

My focus right now is simple: I want the company to generate revenue without needing to sell a single token anymore.

Once we reach profitability, we can move with more strength into the next phase: token appreciation, buybacks, burns, deeper utility, and long-term ecosystem growth.

I want this project to succeed more than anyone.

I want you all to know that I am doing my best, every single day, to beat what sometimes feels impossible.

What I can promise is transparency.

Positive or negative, I will keep sharing the progress, the data, the feedback, the next steps, and what we are learning along the way.

These next two weeks will show us a lot:

Whether the product is strong.
Whether acquisition costs make sense.
How real customers react.
What feedback we receive.
What needs to be improved.
And how fast we can turn this into a profitable growth engine.

What I can say already is that we are pioneers again.

This is something new, something nobody else is doing in the way we are preparing to do it, and that is one of the reasons we are keeping the product name private for now.

Not because there is anything to hide.

But because we want to protect the launch, protect the team’s work, and avoid unnecessary FUD around a product that deserves a clean start.

New product.
New brand.
Same company.

Just like Online+ has its own name, brand, and domain, this new product also has its own brand and domain.

That does not mean it is separated from Ice Labs.
That does not mean anything strange is happening.
It simply means we are launching it properly for the market it is built for.

Tomorrow is the beginning.

Now we execute, measure, improve, and prove.

[Conan Takiaddin @ConanTakiaddin]

This is the direction $ION needed.
Real product. Real users. Real value. 🚀

[Ice Open Network @ice_blockchain]

💫 We owe you an apology.

One week ago, we said Phase One of the new ION direction was expected to launch within two weeks.

We were wrong.

Phase One is already finished — and the controlled launch is scheduled to begin first thing Monday.

That means we are moving one week earlier than expected.

Over the past week, our small team pushed harder than ever. We have integrated AI deeply into our development, QA, testing, iteration, documentation, and automation workflows.

In total, last week, we processed more than 17 billion AI tokens across agentic development pipelines, automated QA loops, regression testing, edge-case simulations, code reviews, optimization tasks, technical documentation, campaign preparation, and product validation work.

While we were sleeping, our agents were still working.

Testing.
Breaking things.
Finding issues.
Re-running flows.
Improving outputs.
Validating user journeys.
Preparing the product for real clients.

This is exactly the speed we were missing in the past.

We had strong ideas before, but we often lacked the execution velocity needed to bring them to market fast enough. This time, things are different.

Phase One is not a hype launch.

It is a controlled launch with a small initial client base, where we will calibrate campaigns, optimize acquisition costs, collect real feedback, improve conversion flows, and validate demand with actual users.

The goal is simple:

Build a product that brings real utility, real monthly revenue, and real value back into the ION ecosystem.

This new direction is connected to the AI industry, but it is not dependent on crypto hype, KOLs, market noise, or empty speculation. It can be marketed through real business channels, including search, social, and direct acquisition campaigns.

We have already prepared multiple campaign angles. Once we begin collecting data, I will share updates as transparently as possible: what works, what does not, what we are improving, and how the product is performing.

Some people will say this is just marketing.

That is fine.

If it is only marketing, it will not survive contact with real clients, real campaigns, real feedback, and real numbers.

The project is 100% open-source under the MIT license and will be shared publicly at the right moment.

For now, we launch, measure, learn, improve, and grow.

This is the rebuild.

This is the speed we needed.

And this is how we make ION stronger, sharper, and useful again.
