Project is dead

what hapend to George Poopescu, Zacj Coburn, Anik Dang? is the founders working or abandon project? Feel suspicious what hapend... help

Don't ask how I found it, but that's there this comment which I remember, but we can't know if it was really an official statement, it's only this guy's word that the following is the team's statement.

I literally spent only 1$ on this thing only to have a token in my wallet to remind me of the project in case what they had promised would become reality! I guess I spent too much on them, they've given up on 1ST and they've added fiat $ depositing! I guess they only wanted to use this community for advertisement.

1ST core members, and I award; Joe Zhou, Marco Cuesta and Dan Temkin, finests scam artists since 2016.
oh and they removed George Popescu as Advisor, knowing all the shady shits he's been in.

Repost from February 26 2018;

Let's look briefly at firstblood.io source of funding, as stated on https://www.crunchbase.com/search/funding_rounds/field/organizations/funding_total/firstblood firstblood.io recieved 6.1 millions USD through it's private sale (VC funding round, stated on crunchbase, but I think it was a private sale, correct me if I'm wrong) and 5.5 millions USD through it's ICO. That's 11.6 millions USD total, as you can see on https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/firstblood/#charts, as of now the market cap of circulating supply (some concerned have been raised by a reddior about the actual amount, as it was stated by 1ST team that the tokens kept by the company wouldn't be released until the dApp would be fully released and mass adopted; here is the link to the reddit post; https://www.reddit.com/r/FirstBloodio/comments/7zx149/founder_lockup_transparency/) is 25,113,948 USD, so still above ICO price in term of USD raised, but in term of BTC and ETH, which was raised during the ICO, which EVALUATED MUCH (ETH was around 13 USD, now is 855 USD; BTC was around 600 USD, now is 9660 USD) since the 26th of September, so from historical data from coinmarketcap.com on 28th of september 2016, the 1ST token was worth 0.00025112 BTC and is now worth 0.00003 BTC and went below followed by the Bittrex delisting message on the Bittrex website which is the biggest exchange trading 1ST tokens in term of volume.

Let's take it from there, how did we learn about the 1ST delisting? Through a message directly from Bittrex. No pre-announcement by the team, absolutely no notes or announcements on either the website, discord channel, twitter account, or the dev team blog. Also note, no post or announcements after the delisting from bittrex, members (I am guessing other concerned investors) have tried to reach through the different platform mentioned above to try and talk to the team to wonder what is going on. My feel on firstblood is that so far, it is SOLELY focusing on it's gamer community and absolutely not on it's investors. Great lack of communication concerning financial aspect of the firstblood ecosystem. A dire example of this lack of concern for it's investors, is that the only place where you can basically, talk to the team about concerns, developments, etc. is on their discord channel, and it is strictly forbidden to talk or discuss 1ST token price of any financial aspects, which is in my opinion ridiculous.

We all remember the massive firstblood pump and dump of this summer from June 13th to July 10th, the graph on CMC speaks for itself, when firstblood was paired 1ST/CNY which were subsequently closed due to the china exchange ban. So here is my REAL CONCERN;

Firstblood.io knowing that the chinese government would eventually close its exchange in an undisclosed near future because of Mr. Zhou, who, I think must know finances, being managing partner of a crypto hedge fund; https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/newblock-capital and founder of https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/alt-options-llc and stay on top the news, and even private news from exclusive members group, let 1ST main volume go through from 1ST/CNY and on the chinese exchange ban news all chinese whales that pumped the price hard for a month dumped hard in a very coincidental timely fashion with Mr. Zhou travels in China. Raking in thousands of BTC from investors, volume being 71.8 mln is USD daily volume on the hardest day of the pump, BTC being around 2.2k USD. This is pure extrapolation and hypothesis. But market and price manipulation is very very common in the cryptocurrencies ecosystem. And with the NOTORIOUS Firstblood.io radio silence over anything NOT related to gaming tournaments, additional features to the platform or various partnerships. It is really REALLY concerning. I do not think I am the only concerned investor here. We will await an explanation.

When will these guys end up in jail? That's the real question.

So FirstBlood collected    465,312  Ethers.
                                 

Is the project still alive?

I find it very possible that OKex is reporting higher volumes than the real ones, it's safer to just ignore that exchange.

what provides liquidity for 1st token on OKex? 

Who are your advisers? What do your advisers bring to the table? Are there any earlier backers of your project? What companies are you partnered with or seeking to partner with?

Most importantly, 1ST is not even used in their platform and the games they support. I don't know what's the point of using a typical point system and lottery rewards for PUBG... And who pays for these lottery rewards anyway?
They could go on with their plan of using their own token as a reward.

In any case, I bet they have implementation problems with Ethereum chain, they should do a swap and go for the ARK platform which seems to offer more tools and so far is very stable.

They aim to support the most popular games, however it will be hard to do so. For now they only managed to introduce Dota 2 into their platform. I'm not so sure about this platform. There are a lot of kids playing games that can lose their money there.

I think this project will be a winner because the have a great team and the project is well worked out and complete.There is a lot of money in the gaming world so for investors this also a good platform.

yeah it looks like 1st is the new bitcoin, no doubt.

This is a good project, at the moment volume of trading is quite good on OKex. I am also using their royale app and i really like it. Market will be going on bull mode sometimes in the future, we might see something around 5 to 10$ you never know , like how bitcoin started and ended up hitting 20000$ . Bull market+ actual platform with token will actually be unpredictable for price. So stay tuned!
