I know all the old adages of 'don't invest more than you can afford to lose' bla bla bla. And for the record I DO NOT think my investment in AVZ is lost.
But goddamn, this halt came at a terrible time for me, just as I made the decision to start a new business in something that was going to have a very long lead time to any sort of income. And coming up to a year of not having access to a good chunk of my savings it has made the whole thing sooo much harder. I've been in AVZ since the 0.06 days so still would have been up enough to be worth pulling out a chunk if I needed it. And all because of a few wankers in the DRC and a giant knob in Russia - Fuk you guys.
Anyway, it sucks, and after almost a year of holding on that's my little vent.
Still positive we'll get this thing moving eventually. Still think AVZ the best option for DRC, and the light this issue is getting in DRC will force the hand of corrupt authorities. Massive thanks to all those on here that have continued to contribute research/translations/tweets over the past year to help us all stay at least somehow informed. It's made the situation a lot more bearable. (As has the somewhat cathartic spreading of memes calling out corrupt DRC ministers).
Lets get this bloody thing moving already!
