How Nigerians react as ‘Hamster Kombat’ fails to meet their financial expectations after launch

The highly anticipated cryptocurrency-based game, Hamster Kombat, has left its community of investors, fondly called ‘CEOs’, in disappointment as its native token, $HMSTR, failed to deliver the financial returns they had hoped for upon its listing on major crypto exchanges today.

After nearly five months of dedicated hype and investment, the token officially launched on September 26, 2024. Many early investors were optimistic about the game, which merges blockchain technology with gaming and promised lucrative rewards for its supporters.

However, those hopes were dashed when the value of the $HMSTR token plummeted soon after hitting the exchanges. The drop in price has left investors, who had expected significant returns, grappling with financial losses.

The creators of Hamster Kombat and top executives had banked on the public listing of their native token, HAMKOIN, to drive profits and boost the game’s appeal. Unfortunately, the poor market performance has sparked frustration among investors, many of whom were banking on the project’s success to secure significant returns.
