iEthereum and liquidity…

We all know that the best time to have bought BTC was back in 2010-2014.

Why was it the best time? Obviously because the price of one BTC was cheap. However, there was an assumed greater risk associated with buying BTC. The assumed greater risk was because BTC had very few markets, if any, and very low to non existent liquidity.

I would beg to pardon that there is a greater risk now at $100K plus verses sub $1, but that is not how the market perceives this reality. The greater risk is associated when the asset has no liquidity, trades in small volumes and carried by few exchanges. Humans are strange creatures.

The market’s perception of iEthereum value is currently low. However, with greater the risk comes greater the reward timeframe with iEthereum is now. iEthereum has very little liquidity in terms of the greater crypto marketplace.

How do we change that? How do we help the iEthereum marketplace build liquidity? How can we build liquidity in the iEthereum space?

With an open source and decentralized project such as iEthereum; the options are less obvious and less congruent than just making a decision. Any action will have to be taken by individuals, institutions or developers and these actions will be self representative verses speaking for the project as a whole.

The options we have as part of the iEthereum community is: 1) provide liquidity and/or 2) provide liquidity incentives

They are connected concepts, but there's a key distinction between providing liquidity and providing liquidity incentives:
