I think the important thing is to be able to pay it to enter a large market and if the volume does not benefit the market then the coins will be deleted and that is also a benefit for large markets.
That maybe true for a centralized ICO project, but opposite for a decentralized currency where we rely more on organic growth.
why pay for listing top exchanges if they are simply removed without volume, its better to spend this money on development
why do you ask like that because it has all become the determination of the market if there is no volume why is maintained, if the money is only for development and no market will also be useless to each other
Well, I got AXE listed on most of the exchanges so I know how it works, if you get listed on big exchanges and dont have money to pump the price, people will not buy anyway, so it does not matter where you list. People who choose AXE only because it is on big exchanges will not buy anyway since we dont have ICO funding to pump the price. With limited funding, I made the decision to use all of them for community development and zero for exchanges, and we got decent exchange listings given our cap and community size.
