Potential Bug and Unusual Behavior in Crypto.com App – [SERIOUS] – I have been schillered and silenced by mods from their Subreddit for being critical of withdrawal fees (I think that’s why?)

I wanted to bring this to the attention of the Reddit Cryptocurrency community – a potentially alarming bug I've encountered within the Crypto.com app. This does not appear to be just a glitch, as this in-app behavior could potentially have broader implications regarding the app's core functionality and how it is presented for users in different regions. So, anyone familiar with the platform, especially active users, would be interested in seeing the behavior I witnessed and make their own informed decision about the activity (see imgur link and description below):

Recently, while using the app’s "coin tracker" feature, I observed an odd behavior: for approximately 30 seconds, the application displayed some cryptocurrencies with Korean glyphs instead of the usual English characters. Moreover, there were two entries for Chainlink, both ranked 16, but one displayed in Korean glyphs and the other in English, each showing different prices.

Four screenshots, which I've uploaded as one image, here https://imgur.com/a/0GYsr6G, captures these anomalies. It raises questions not only about the app's stability and data accuracy but also about what users might be missing or misunderstanding due to such glitches.

Adding to my concern, my ability to discuss these issues directly on the Crypto.com app has been revoked. Previously, I was banned from posting in their subreddit, after merely criticizing the platform's high withdrawal fees, the time it takes to receive a withdrawal, among other things. No clear reasons were provided for the restriction, which leads me to worry about the transparency and user advocacy on the platform.

The suppression of critical feedback and the centralization I'm witnessing in a space that prizes itself on decentralization is troubling. The very ethos of cryptocurrency hinges on its ability to democratize finance, yet what I'm observing is a shift towards traditional banking models — a centralization that could undermine the industry's foundational principles. It is sad. I feel like the entire space is being picked apart and red-taped by next gen bankers.

Anyway, my personal thoughts aside, if anyone could add some insight to the screenshots from the application I witnessed the a few nights ago, it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: just to be clear I'm not completely hating on the crypto.com app I actually think it's a great tool for some things in the crypto space, specifically, cashing cryptocurrency in the United States. They have limitless options and more than any other company I've ever seen as far as what cryptos I can cash and add as Fiat currency to a debit card. I am a daily user of the application I'm just saying, I get this feeling like I can't be critical of the application. I'm a user, or more importantly a customer. I've deposited tens of thousands of dollars in their platform and I've allowed them to be custodian of some of my cryptocurrency I'm allowed to be critical of their practices for sure 100%. I'm not posting this to tell people to stop using the platform or anything like that I'm posting it because people have a right to know about this.

This company makes millions of dollars. They are very prolific in the crypto space they offer a versatile set of options as far as what you can buy what you can sell and what you can convert to Fiat currency that being said they make money off the backs of their users 100% if they didn't have users they wouldn't have a company like most outfits that exist they need users specifically they need users crypto to be deposited or purchased in app so if something is buggy or fishy or weird with the application that is their company essentially users have a right to know about it and have a right to make their own determination about what is happening and what this means.

This post is meant to be informative 100% I'm not even implying that there's anything fishy about it. Once upon a time I was a cybersecurity consultant and I'll be the first to admit, I don't develop Android applications. So maybe an Android developer would be able to explain away this sort of behavior as a typical side effect of an application that might be whatever insert problem here but this has got to be a bug. But It's troubling to see that sort of behavior in an application that's foundation is essentially structured upon pricing oracles.
