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 think better days will come, Vanig has taking a good decision for the betterment of the investing community. I think we should all keep our fingers crossed to see if there the market will improve.
