They get f**** because they store their NEM on exchanges and rely on exchange allocations or allowances to deposit, withdrawal.
If they opt in in their accounts, they can move their claimed Symbol to any lively exchanges. Many exchanges to trade Symbol.
What you argued can be used to talk about DeFi too. Are DeFi tokens better than NEM or Symbol?
.... BUT the NEM Group stated that they are working closely with exchanges in the BETA phase of Symbol to enable them to smoothly integrate the wallet. Sounded like everything will be available directly after Snapshot because the NEM Group was working really closely with the exchanges....
All exchanges received all opted in tokens in the genesis block the same as all holders who opted in in the wallet.
Exchanges have been able to run a node since shortly after launch, the same as the other ~1500 nodes being run globally
If there are external factors at play…they are not Symbol chain related. The same statement is true for any third party blaming internal/external forces for a lack of distribution/listing/withdrawal/deposit for their customers.
Did you even read what I have written? NEM Group told everyone that they are working closely with exchanges to ensure they have everything ready before the snapshot. If they have on influence in the Exchange listing they should just said nothing.
Same for this last minute tweet that the snapshot needs additional time after the snapshot date to not get rolled back. This was said in a way and on the last seconds before snapshot to maximize confusion and of course they did not care to clarify this after the snapshot was long done.
I give it to them, they are quite clever scammers. But how could anyone expecting an ecosystem to grow around NEM with these scammers at the helm? Only attracts other scammers which is clearly visible when looking at NEM partnerships/projects.
