Many visibly expressed their discomfort to this impending approach via social media, alluding to it as a potential exit scam. This comes as no surprise, especially as Africa based scams, such as malicious cryptocurrencies like Africrypt, recklessly robbed multiple folks of vast amounts of investible asset since years prior.
