To be honest it perfectly makes sense to delay public sale abit,rather than keep it on for too long,these are hard times for ICOs.Hopefully this bear market will be over soon.
Until when will they delay to sell the token because it seems that it can't be sure the price will be good and stable again. This will be a confused thing.
Article said until sometime in early 2019.But soft cap is reached already,so project is not in any danger,so no worries.
Good things that the development team feels because they have achieved softcap and will end the sale tokens next year. It becomes a long journey that they will go through to think of something good to attract investors.
Once a project has very solid concept and wants to attract more investors and big partnership, surely it is necessary to take things very cautiously, Agate is very deep project that intends to compete with big organizations like PayPal and the likes, definitely the journey in this project will seem long, everything has to be put in other.
