Anthony Credator and Neriwa hijacked the project.
After Gio and his team resigned it was intended and planned to re-launch the project as a truly decentralised community coin. That was a real chance for ebtc to regain trust and enthusiasm of the community. This idea was destroyed by Anthony.
Now with Anthony acting centrally and dicatorial we have a new Gio style management which main characteristic is intransparency.
Therefore there is not much hope left.
At least this means there is someone in charge of eBTC tokens whose interest is profits. Maybe eBTC bagholders still have some hope.
