Friend.tech, a decentralized social application that has become popular in the Chinese-speaking community recently, welcomed the launch of Big Brother Maji yesterday, triggering a frantic rush in the entire community. His Key broke through 4 ETH in less than 10 seconds and achieved an astonishing increase.

This has also caused the price of his own keys to plummet, from each 3.89 ETH dropped to 2.64 ETH. However, Tom Wan also emphasized that the idle funds on the platform still remain at around 10,510 ETH (approximately US$17 million), which means that large investors have only taken profits, but have not yet withdrawn funds from the Friend.tech platform. They may enter the market again at any time, and the market is active again. The odds are still very high.
