Just my guess, the losses experienced by investors because of FUN Token are also experienced by freebitcoin, especially since they have a very large portion when they start investing in this token, the development carried out in their casino, namely dplay, may not produce what is expected. This is the risk of investing in crypto, you can get a jackpot but also lose everything, if they invest in Bitcoin now their assets must have increased in dollars due to the increase in the price of BTC.
So maybe all these issues are the result of investments not delivering what was expected.
You might be right; the value of FUN tokens only went downhill which they might not have expected and they probably also had higher hopes from the casinos they created.
I don't think the low FUN token rate is the reason why Freebitcoin started having various issues. Before the announcement of the partnership in 2021, the FUN token rate was already at a low level and the Freebitcoin team probably understood the risks at that time. Moreover, the low FUN token rate didn't affect the performance of the Freebitcoin site in neither 2022 nor 2023.
