No, it was not a lie.
yes it was lie. the devs said many time here and on slack they will list on big exchange on october. they always say "we are in the final stage and big announcement soon" over and over. now they are supposed to announce new exchange next week, they say it won't happen.
the devs are thiefs thats what happen. they post all the time on bitcointalk until they collect the money. then they won't pay fee to put the token on normal exchange. they even put on gatecoin that has zero volume. look at it.
this sad project will fail because the devs are thiefs and dont know how to run business other than steal money.
Please don't make such statements without evidence. Aventus team is working hard to move forward and develop the project. Current price is indeed very low, this is the combination of factors, one of which is China regulations, lots of Chinese investors had to sell all AVT tokens after token sale because of these regulations (very big amount of AVT for some estimations).
Positive factors that might influence the price really soon:
- New office in London
- Expanding of Aventus team with new developers
- Listing on bigger exchanges
- Updated (or even new) site
- Beta launch
- Trial ticket sale
