Bitcoin’s third quadrennial halving just occurred. Bitcoin block reward decreased from 12.5 to 6.25 coins. The most important thing about this halving is that Bitcoin’s expansion rate is now below most central banks’ inflation target of 2% for the first time. The second most important thing is there will be 3 billion US dollars less in sell pressure each year. Lastly, the price impact of this halving will play out over 1 – 1.5 years.

The last Bitcoin block(629999) with 12.5 BTC reward right before the halving included the following message in its coinbase data: "NYTimes 09/Apr/2020 With $2.3T Injection, Fed's Plan Far Exceeds 2008 Rescue" This was a reference to the Genesis block message: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"

So as per the new announcement by UltrAlpha, for Presale participants to unlock their remaining (95%) tokens they have to invest in their crappy products to get token released.
For a $1000 investment in their product, you get peanuts released from your allocation so imagine how much you would have to invest again.

So people who already invested in presale for tokens have to invest again to get tokens back with no garuntee of getting back what they will invest now.

In last 1 year, they have released just 5% of tokens and as per schedule, they release 5% each on new exchange listing. (They are listed on just Bitmax in last 1 year)

Most of original team has left and no major updates from team.

For the foreseeable future, I don't expect to get my 100% tokens back and would have to write this off as a loss.
