About Internet Computer

What is Internet Computer (ICP)?

It is a new way to create and run online services that does not rely on the servers of large companies. Instead, it uses a network of independent data centres, meaning everything runs directly on the blockchain. This means that developers can build and users can enjoy truly decentralized applications that are free from corporate clouds and other costly or insecure intermediaries.

The ICP is a secure, open network on which you can store data and run programs. These programmes, known as decentralised applications or DApps, operate directly on the ICP network.

ICP brings the concept of serverless cloud services to the public internet, enabling almost any online service or system to be developed on a decentralised network. It uses ‘canister software’, which is an evolution of smart contracts.

On the ICP, these smart contracts are called canisters. Canisters are like digital containers that hold the code and data required to run a program. They can interact with web browsers, mobile apps and other canisters. This technology enables computers to connect and share information without the need for a central server, such as those provided by AWS or Google Cloud. It combines individual computers to create efficient subnetworks that can host these secure canisters.

ICP’s goal is to create a new, open internet that offers users more control and better security. This vision is often referred to as the ‘World Computer’, in which everything runs on a decentralised network.

How does ICP work?

Nowadays, the internet is highly centralised. Many of the most widely used web applications are proprietary, closed-source and hosted by a small number of data centres controlled by major technology companies. Furthermore, if a single crucial data centre fails, large portions of the web can go down simultaneously. The ability of centralised, corporate web services providers to restrict or deplatform programmes is another major concern, particularly for privacy activists.

The Internet Computer aims to provide developers with a basic option by facilitating a more decentralised approach to application development, hosting and serving, enabling websites to be launched straight onto the public internet. The Internet Computer would encourage open source and transparent software development.

For example, if the Internet Computer were described in the MIT Technology Review, it would “move between servers owned by independent data centres around the world” rather than “run on a dedicated server in Google Cloud”.

Imagine ICP as a means of exchanging cryptocurrency for computational power: the network sets a price according to how much processing power a developer’s project needs. Once the cost is paid, the website will be able to access the public internet.

From social networks such as LinkedIn and TikTok, to software such as all the apps you know and love, to whole new apps that haven’t even been conceived yet, the Internet makes it possible to build and run any type of program. The CanCan project, which the ICP team refers to as a ‘decentralised TikTok’, has made its source code publicly available as a proof of concept.

Internet Computer FAQ

How much will Internet Computer be worth by 2030?

The projected value of Internet Computer (ICP) in 2030 remains speculative and depends on various drivers, including institutional adoption, technological milestones, global regulatory frameworks, and the overall trajectory of the digital asset market. While several analysts and financial models provide long-term targets, these estimates can vary drastically.

Long-term price forecasts cover a wide spectrum. For instance, moderate outlooks project Bitcoin could rise to between $150K and $250K (USD) by 2030; pessimistic scenarios suggest a potential drop back to a few thousand dollars; while ultra-bullish forecasts see BTC climbing to $500K or even hitting the $1 million mark.

Canadian investors should treat these 2030 projections as purely hypothetical and focus on evaluating Internet Computer’s core fundamentals alongside the evolving cryptocurrency ecosystem.

How high will Internet Computer go?

The potential peak for Internet Computer (ICP) depends on a variety of factors, including market demand, real-world adoption, evolving cryptocurrency regulations, and the overall health of the digital asset market.

No one can guarantee how high Internet Computer will go—not even the most seasoned market analysts or experts. As a Canadian investor, it is essential to perform your own due diligence by tracking market trends, project milestones, and the broader growth of the blockchain industry when you analyze potential price targets.

Is Internet Computer going to crash?

It is impossible to predict with absolute certainty whether Internet Computer (ICP) will experience a "crash." Like most digital assets, Internet Computer's price is subject to both rapid surges and sharp corrections.

Market sentiment, investor behavior, shifting regulations, and the overall performance of the crypto market can all influence its valuation. However, the risk of a significant downturn may increase if you notice the following warning signs:

Weak Fundamentals: A lack of real-world adoption or utility.

Speculative Hype: Excessive social media buzz without underlying value.

Liquidity Issues: Low trading volume or a heavy concentration of coins held by a few "whales."

Consistently monitoring market trends and project updates can help investors better evaluate potential risks.

Is now a good time to buy Internet Computer? Should I buy Internet Computer now?

There’s no such thing as "perfect timing" in the crypto market. Whether now is the right moment to buy Internet Computer (ICP) depends on your personal investment strategy, risk tolerance, and your outlook on the market. Many Canadian investors analyze price trends, technical indicators, and the project’s fundamentals before committing capital.

Given that crypto prices can shift rapidly, it’s essential to conduct your own due diligence and weigh short-term volatility against long-term growth potential:

  • Long-term Belief: You might consider a gradual entry using Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) to build your position over time.
  • Short-term Trade: Focus on the current trend direction, key support levels, and trading volume.

Is it safe to buy Internet Computer?

Investing in Internet Computer (ICP) carries inherent risks, as no digital asset is entirely "safe." Like most cryptocurrencies available to Canadian traders, ICP is highly volatile, meaning the price of Internet Computer can experience rapid and unpredictable fluctuations.

Before purchasing Internet Computer, it is crucial to conduct thorough due diligence: research the project’s fundamentals, evaluate its practical use case, and monitor current market trends. Most importantly, only invest capital that you are prepared to lose. Utilizing platforms with a strong track record, such as BTCC, and employing secure cold storage wallets can further help mitigate your exposure to potential risks.
