Mr. Nguyen Hoa Binh, Chairman of NextTech, has become the focus of debate due to his opinions on blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. This comes amidst the context that this businessman was once the "patron" of the AntEX project and several other tokens in 2021.

The collapse of the entire platform, along with the investors' money, remains a major question mark in the community. Shark Binh claimed that the "tech team" acted wrongly and that he was also a victim in the incident. However, this statement, made four years after the event and lacking evidence, failed to convince the community.

Furthermore, Mr. Nguyen Hoa Binh has expressed a contrasting attitude towards cryptocurrencies and blockchain compared to four years ago. Having previously invested in and promoted this new technology model, the chairman of Next Tech now strongly criticizes it and warns users against participating.

Shark Bình criticizes blockchain.

In a recent Facebook broadcast, Shark Binh stated that he doesn't know blockchain code, only that he's a user and investor. He admitted to having gone through a period of "delusion," but ultimately lost everything. The businessman shared that besides financial losses, his reputation was also damaged. Therefore, Mr. Binh advised small-scale investors to stay away from this field.

"A great technology for complicating simple things," the NextTech leader commented on blockchain. He argued that this model is resource-intensive, difficult to control, and creates security and money laundering implications. However, Mr. Binh did not mention the values ​​of decentralization, the inability to modify or erase information stored on the blockchain, or other advantages.

The businessman also asserted that 99% of cryptocurrency projects fail, lacking practical and positive applications for life. He added that this market is risky because it is entirely controlled by technical experts who hold the keys. Furthermore, there is a lot of manipulation behind the scenes.

Mr. Binh cited the example of people hacking their own projects to withdraw funds. He even warned that USDT, a widely used stablecoin, could be confiscated by the US government and not returned.

Shark Bình stated that these were lessons learned from his own failures, prompting him to warn the community. Additionally, he made several controversial statements about the cryptocurrency market, such as: "If you invest, you have to accept the 'win or lose'. If you win, enjoy it; if you lose, you have to accept it," and "Most people who invest in cryptocurrencies are poor."

AntEX controversy

Mr. Binh's broadcast focused on the businessman's personal views on blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. However, these views were somewhat related to AntEX, the cryptocurrency project launched in 2021, which he "sponsored".

Specifically, Mr. Binh said that users who want to find someone responsible for the incident should target the right people, in this case, the "tech team." When someone questioned why they didn't contact the authorities after losing money, he stated that there wasn't enough evidence or legal basis.

On the afternoon of September 29th, an anonymous account posted a rebuttal to Shark Binh's statements, asserting that the chairman of NextTech was the one behind the AntEX collapse. Furthermore, the businessman claimed to have benefited financially and suffered no losses after investing in the project.

That same night, Mr. Binh's official Facebook account posted a counter-accusation. The NextTech chairman asserted that a person named LVL (CTO of AntEX, Next Tech) was the mastermind behind the "dumping" scheme, causing losses to investors.

Mr. Binh has been very active on social media, commenting on debate posts in recent days.

Previously, Tri Thức - Znews contacted Mr. Bình to inquire about the investment, losses, and the reason for only speaking out about AntEX now. However, NextTech's leadership did not respond.

When searching for AntEX tokens or related information on the internet, there is no trace of the project. The official website and social media pages have disappeared. Mr. Nguyen Hoa Binh, one of the strategic investors of this start-up, also stopped sharing information about it since the end of 2021.

Currently, only exchange data remains, announcing the conversion of ANTEX tokens to the Rabbit project in March 2023. Accordingly, the conversion rate is 1,000 ANTEX for 1 RAB. This type of rebranding is referred to by cryptocurrency investors as "redrawing the chart." As a result, the history of token price fluctuations is erased, essentially starting anew.

Unlike other projects that have also been rebranded, the AntEX development team has completely erased all traces of its previous involvement. In Rabbit's introduction, there is no information suggesting any connection to the Vietnamese start-up. The development direction and roadmap have also been removed.

To date, the RAB token has completely disappeared. Community channels, roadmap updates, and transaction methods are no longer available.
