I don't want to cause any FUD, but I would like people to be ready. Everything here is my own opinion and you should always analyse the situation for yourself.
There were a lot of things happening on TradeQwik for the past 2 months, but I think the biggest was that the wallets for the cryptocurrencies were not working and we pretty much weren't able to withdraw any of our coins - except for steem, steem dollars and golos. There was some kind of breach and William had to fix some problems with the current wallets.
We were be given a lot of promises from William about his new wallet system called POWR and things like that, but they actually never happened and the deadlines were always missed. We always hoped for the best though.
You probably don't know about any of this if you were not really active on the discord and you just put some money on TQ as an investment. Maybe you are a crown holder who is waiting for VIVA project to work. Maybe you bought tons of TQS for some passive income. I feel those people will not chat there just for fun.
The @tradeqwik steemit account is really big. If some of those money are yours on the TQ exchange I would suggest you to withdraw them immediately as the future of the whole project is very uncertain and this is the only gateway working for now, maybe ever. Don't forget that you can withdraw only 100 STEEM per transaction and if you surpass the limit you will have to be audited - something that we are all waiting for for almost 2 months too.
I can't honestly say what happened exactly and why is the VIVA team having their "big" meeting like a week from now and not sooner, but their communication with us was always pretty much dead too.
By looking at the announcement on the TQ's discord channel it looks like there will be a new TQ. I can't say how that will work, but as an exchange I liked TQ very much. Hopefully they will come back - stronger, better and more transparent.
There is a lot of money involved and not talking to the investors is very bad. Putting one big announcement that is saying pretty much nothing in-depth is not enough. Right now I would say that the best thing would be to just call it a day, give the money back to the investors and try to start the exchange again.
If you have any more questions concerning TradeQwik you can ask them on the TradeQwik's discord channel and hopefully they will be answered by the new CEO or CTO.
Thank you.
