The decision for this pause was made based on multiple factors, a critical set of reasons being the current cryptocurrency markets and how it affects the investing community.
what i don't seem to understand is how the pause a good thing because this in a way will reduce investors confidence in the project. this is my personal opinion.
I agree this goes both ways because if the pause goes on for a longer period of time then ofcourse it begins to generate some repercussions which would cause investors loose more interest
