You can't really expect that after 4 years of not wthdrawing your coins to the main chain they can still help you.
Why not ? they burned the Waves ? I don't think so.
It's time to be serious in crypto business. He invested his money in 2016, just 4 years, not 50 years !
Is it possible my banker say me: "you have not used you bank account for 5 years, so now, your money is ours." ?
It's not possible for everyone to observe continously forks, swaps, deadlines
(sorry for my very bad english)Try to contact Ethereum of Lisk to collect your ICO coins, same story
4 years is a long time in crypto. Especially when you participate in an ICO it's very smart to stay focussed.
And not much of an excuse to "not observe", the team sent multiple e-mails with their progress during and after the ICO and the deadline for withdrawals. I still have them in my inbox.
Don't get me wrong: I really hope he still can collect his ICO coins but I don't give it much of a chance.
For more information, I did not receive a email from them, it may have ended up in spam, I don’t know.
And for the first time I tried to get waves more than a year ago. They changed so many sites that I was already confused. In general, I wrote to them, explained the situation, but received no help from them.
It seems important that the waves team can easily verify my words, because I still have access to the bitcoin wallet from which I participated in ico. Yes, I didn’t hit the deadline, so it’s really at their discretion whether to meet me halfway or not.
