Do you guys think this project has a chance of success? I believed that when it was an official launch from Pavel Durov's team, it would definitely be a success ... But the ban of SEC changed the situation. I'm not sure if this Free TON project should be considered as an independent market participant.
I think that how successful this coin will be determined by the community itself. Remember about this ton crystal was taking the community as the main aim to provide the fully decentralized platform that was getting driven by the community.
It's not the same as the TON gram that was being created by the pavel. More people join the TON community and it will bring a lot of impact as the development of the TON is based on the contribution that has made by the commmunity.
This is not the same as any other centralized platform that has claimed to be the decentralized platform.
