I think they must wait with maiinet launch some time (until market will recovery and will be in green zone again). Because in this situation even maiinet cant bring much effect to price...
I expect that after launching the network, the price will be better. But in fact, I do not have any guarantees for this.
And I think that the team should start the network as soon as it is ready for it. There is no reason,for artificially to slow it down.
