Has anyone else's opinion on ICP completely changed over the last couple of years?
When ICP first launched, I dismissed it almost immediately because the conversation was dominated by the price collapse. I never looked beyond the headlines. Earlier this year I decided to spend some time actually reading the documentation, watching developer talks, and exploring a few applications built on the network. I still don't think it's a perfect project, marketing has clearly been one of its weaker areas, but I came away with a completely different opinion of the technology itself. Today I own a small position, not because I expect overnight gains, but because I think the long-term vision is more interesting than I originally gave it credit for. I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience where their opinion changed after doing their own research.

Very similar experience. I avoided ICP for a long time because every conversation focused on the chart. Once I started looking at what was actually being built, it became much easier to understand why some people remain bullish despite the price action.
I'm probably where you were a year ago. I've only ever heard people mention the launch, so I haven't really looked into it. Maybe it's time that I do.
I still think the project needs better visibility. The technology seems to get more praise than the marketing, and that probably explains why so many people overlook it.
Alt L1 chatter is fine; I still want holder/LP reality before size. Soft on-chain glance: https://gmgn.ai/r/79XCfNUq. DYOR / NFA.
Before size I want holders + LP reality. Soft on-chain glance: https://gmgn.ai/r/79XCfNUq. DYOR / NFA.
