SUI price chart
Despite the key update to the SUI ecosystem, the token’s price nosedived. SUI declined from $2.16 earlier today, to $1.15, hitting a new all-time low in response to mainnet launch. The launch event turned out to be sell-the-news for token holders who received SUI.
Critics in the crypto ecosystem argue SUI is “vaporware.” The term refers to “software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy, either because it is only a concept or because it is still being written or designed.”
SUI is complete vapor ware. If you get any allocation anything north of 5B is a great sale.
