Artrade (ATR)

Sorry, taking two minutes here to rant about a project I used to follow a while back.

Hi @ArtradeApp , just so you’re aware, you’re selling the gram of gold in raffle at $210.

The ounce price is around $4,170, which is about $134 per gram.

Can you explain where the discount specified in the white paper is here ?

Even with the biggest staking plan supposedly offering a 40% discount, you still end up at $126, close to the normal price.

Do you really think investors are that stupid ?

What used to be true isn’t anymore at all.

You still talk about a DAO, but I don’t believe your community voted to close the Telegram chat, for example…

There are no more votes submitted on the dedicated platform (@deanmachine) nor any polls for drops or anything else that could involve your community.

And yet you still put transparency forward while even communication has become nonexistent or
censored.

I won’t even mention your AI-generated posts on X, will I ?

We still see token sales going through, like again this week, but still not a word from the team.

All this to price gold above market and let people think your marketplace is still running.

I tried to warn you not to build up a SOL reserve at $200, to get back on the right track regarding the DAO, transparency, and communication, but I see you’ve chosen the easy path.

I wasted a lot of time trying to support the project’s original idea, but you chose the easy path, you chose to seek profit instead of persevering.

Today the marketplace is empty, the idea that blockchain would be at the heart of the story has disappeared, and the advantage of holding the $ATR token to get good prices has even disappeared since your prices have become so inconsistent.

I admit I still took some profit in this whole story because I could sense it was going badly, but I still hold a few tokens because I acknowledge your perseverance.

Who knows, maybe you’ll eventually realize this and change direction.

I know this post will most likely go unanswered, given the type of content and communication you put out today.

But I hope it will still be here when the spotlight eventually returns to the ecosystem, and people start digging a little deeper.

Sorry for this digression everyone, but I think it’s useful to share this kind of feedback, it could help some people.
