We see every day a new ICO project launch, but it is very hard to take the decision, the project may be a scam, or even this new projects  not a scam no guarantee the project will succeed, the question here do you think the advisors can help new projects to success, do you think the advisors give the new projects trust?
Note that there are many successful projects without any advisors.

And what do you see in the relationship of advisors and the success of ICO (or fraud)? Advisor is a specialist in a particular area, which is accessed if necessary. It is needed to make the right decision and to succeed ICO. For example, you have decided to conduct an ICO for a project related to brewing or mining. For your part, you provide the idea (even just create a website and whitepapers and find people who will work for you), and the advisor already checks the implementation of your idea in a certain area in which he is an expert.

Good advisors has impact in a projects life ,sometimes most teams are good technically in software and hardware aspect but a project teams might lack marketing strategy, good advisors always have good experience about what moves to take in a bad market

So you think advisors good only in marketing.

It depends on the role of the advisors, in serious companies they do take the advise or suggestion of the advisor in the subject where he is an expert but when it cones to icos i think most of them list the advisors just for the sake of marketing and to lure people to invest because i have never read or heard the role of advisor after an ico.

no because first of all those that create an ICO aren't looking for success of their project. there is no project really. their only goal is to make a lot of money quickly by raising it from people who are buying a virtual number on their computers that has no other value other than on exchanges where they dump.
secondly because we don't have any advisors in this space. we only have newbies and experts. experts don't waste their time on ICO projects with that goal and newbies who do, are doing it to scam others.

Advisors are just a name to legitimize a project

Since every project has a team of advisors, it wont be bad if their attention is called to issues that requires better understanding from. It is true that there are so many experts on cryptocurrency but in my opinion, I think there is no end to learning.  We learn everyday unless we choose not to

You even mentioned that lot of projects succeed without advisors and lot of them turned into scams with them so they are nit take place much on the success of the projects so you don't have to decide the quality of the project based on their availability.

Advisor has no impact to the project itself and it's only give a small increase on its popularity but not for a platform which already created a partnership with the advisor to create a new protocol.
Casper lab has so many advisors and the team is also working with the advisor at the same team and that's the different case

Advisers are of two types.
One that advises about technical aspects of project, design, marketing, blockchain, smart contracts, economics etc. There types of advisers are useful for project especially when the team lacks expert of respective fields.
Another type of advisers are those who just gives advertisement and buzz on media. They do create some interest but are not worth the cost they come with.

It can help provided the advisor is a respected member of the community like Buterin, because no person of good standing will accept as an advisor if the project will not do well in the market, the advisor should have the technical knowledge and really is an expert in his field I have seen people employing advisors which we do not know or if the resume is real.

The Advisor topic was something that guys like McAfee and R. Ver used to earn money and create hype for the project. But people realized early that this consultation wasn't that important. There is no importance anymore.

what is the policy of the advisory person. if indeed the advisor has the responsibility to be willing to help the project, maybe there won't be a scam coin and the coin will go according to the target.

Yes f course! As a pro and sometimes, pioneer of this industry we can help new projects to succeed. A lot of investors are depending with advisors. What do I say? We invest sometimes because there are good advisors. So, probably in terms of exposure the new projects, advisors will help them to launch successfully. And if they help new projects they freely promote also your projects. In short, mutualism.

yes. advisors will still have a role in finding or giving direction in advancing a particular project. because with the job advisor the project team will be well directed. besides that the advisor will also provide strategy advice. so for me the advisor is still needed in the success of the new project.

I followed a project trip since last year, and I think advisors cannot be a benchmark that projects that have the best advisers will be successful. Because I see for myself, there are still many projects without successful advisors. It all depends on how their team works, if their team is very good and experienced, I don't think advisor is needed here, but with the advisor there must be added value by the investors.

New ICO projects rose because of advisors that already advised many projects from the past. Especially those advisors that are truly crypto enthusiasts. Just so you know, having a known personality in cryptocurrency could lead to the success of your project ;). Like hire Roger Ver as an example. And having a known personality advising the project will lead to many investors.

I think that is not enough to help, good projects must be audited and have permits that apply in every country, and adjust them to the regulations in force in the country, those conditions must be met

If a project is good enough. It would require no advisers. It's just the newbie projects or the fancy ones that requires advisers.
Most of the so called advisers shown on whitepaper of most ICOs are self proclaimed ICO experts. They just let their photo get published for a low fee.
While some are genuinely helping the project with their experience.

Do you mean advisors add value to the token or coin itself even there is no action from advisors?

Since blockchain technology is relatively new, there are very few experts that are well informed on the nitty gritty of blockchain, hence the majority of self acclaimed blockchain advisors brings little or no success to any particular blockchain projects.

The need to involve advisors in any project is dependent on the team and based on the qualifications/level of expertise amongst team members to handling task.

I think it really depends on the project. Some projects just pay money to advisers for posting them on the team page. Some projects do care about their product and hire advisors who can help with improving product/marketing/vision. Anyway, ICO is a scam. Any.

Even the best of the best have some advisors..it is better to learn of someones mistakes ::)

Advisers can help with project success. Decisions taken to join or not, it's just a personal matter. Also pay attention to other aspects of making decisions to join new projects and not be afraid of failure.

The main focus is yourself or the investor's IEO/ICO project itself. If you have known that the project doesn't have an advisor and the project has an advisor then it is an answer for you and the other investor to make a decision to choose a legit project.

You have to know, to make a project can run well, I mean the developer always try to make their project can be accepted by all people then they should have an advisor or someone who has knowledge against it. You can see on the concept the project itself, usually the advisor will give a different thing from the other project and this thing can make most investor believe that this project is really promising.

In my own opinion, there's a good and bad side about advisors.

Let's start with the bad. Some advisors are just pretending to be "experts" in projects that they're not really involved. They're just making good pitches to include their pathetic faces in the website and get some tokens and dump it afterward.

The only way that these advisors are good is that they have a strong profile background with verified and established LinkedIn accounts. For sure, with their backgrounds, they would be a huge plus to projects if they would become advisors and help them with their suggestions and advice on how these projects can grow.

This is just my only opinion about them. I'm also a crypto advisor but I don't want to be on the bad side. :D

Advisors have their own areas of specialist that's why they are called advisors ,they always have high impact of new projects and old projects ,some of them are very familiar with market conditions so they can stop project teams from making a huge wrong turn

For me it depends on who is the so called a advisor is! if its popular like Mcafee will it will help to influence but to those not popular i think its just a waste of money. Since investors nowadays are not the same as before they dont care about who is the advisor. they are more interested on the project profitability.

Yeah I believe that an experienced advisor that helped already to promote several projects, can bring a lot of value to a fresh one. This is just another experience bonus that would help to avoid bad team decisions.

I think so, as long as advisors are popular, that might attract investors.
But I think there are some advisors who are not really acting based on the job, their names are just use to gain investors and they might only get paid for using the name but not on the actual job.

but sometimes the role of a person with a big name is also important for marketing. some projects even rely on it to attract investors into the project. inevitably, all of that really happened. but it depends on the ability of the developer, where the market will not be able to only with the support of people with big names. real development that must be done to attract incoming investment.

Well advisors add some substance to the authenticity of a project and whenever the fans of those advisors see such project being supported by their mentor, it might trigger them to go for it.
This had so much impact in the past, but it seems to have reduced these days. One of the most important criteria in choosing a project, after which the team has been verified to be real, is the product.

advisors and ambassador are often only other expressions for known persons who are used as an advertisement.
that can also backfire. first i think of mca****. but you should never have disadvantages with such people. whether the advantages outweigh the costs is up to you.

It all depends on the specific project and its team. And good consultants can really help the project to achieve the desired results and goals. So I think advisors in their field will not be superfluous in the project.

Yes, definitely .
But you have to know the advisor , if he is truly real person.

Most of the people would not like to be tied to scam projects so it is a plus to see advisors.
There are a lot of areas where advisors could help, and the one of them is economics of tokens.

I think consultants can make the project look more formal and give people some confidence in the project. I think it's just a marketing tool.

certainly the role of the advisor is very important for the growth and making of project plans. advisors are those who have truly been long and experts in the world and their respective fields. of course it will be very helpful.
but it is no guarantee that the project can succeed even though their advisors are trying to influence investors to join.
Like the Lyfe project, there was an advisor from a large enough exchange CEO who joined. I am not saying this project is not developing, but they are slow. Their products are released but do not have an effect on increasing the purchase value of their coins on the market.
Hopefully this will be an additional information for all of us.

very helpful, the advisors are very important to promote the new project. if the way they promote the project is in good and interesting language, it really helps the project get a lot of support from investors. but it can be the opposite, if the promotion is not good, the project can be difficult to get investors.

Yes. If a project is supported by TIm draper or Elon musk, you would have to think this must be a great project that an experienced investors are into it. Spacechain and Tezos were few of the projects I've seen so far that those two are known to have invested. Some find Macaffee to be a reputable though he is mostly just shilling for money per tweet but the project he seem to have been an advisor seem to have a god success as well.

advisors are important but for the current project to only be an attractive investor, advisors should have experience and knowledge in the field of crypto that is very experienced because the impact can make the project's success

I see that after the period of calling ICO capital, the advisers did not seem to have many roles for the project. Most teams develop themselves, advisers are effective only during the capital call phase

Advisors are the least people you should rely on when investing in a project ,I've done some mistakes in the past on a project because of its very well known advisor and the project ends been a shady one,do not rely on advisors and some are even fake advisors that know nothing about cryptography

Yes definitely but it takes the right ones not just anyone

Besides adding credibility and trust to a project, advisors provide guidance and knowledge to the team. Depending on the agreement between the organization and advisor, most roles consist of an education clause, where advice must be delivered to the team in order to improve upon current developments, and also an influencer clause, to encourage new members to join the community. All in all, advisors wear multiple hats that can benefit both the development process and community growth within a new project.

I have seen many reputable projects that had known advisors but still the project failed.  I don't believe this advisors play any special role in the success of projects , if not we will not see many failed projects in the market

Sometimes its good and sometimes its just the other way around,a very popular advisor can drive investors to the project ,its called awareness ,for example john McAfee is part of the reason some investors invest in Apollo currency

of course advisors may not help projects success but at least the project no scam.

Humm is the future of the project, and during the project announcement period, the advisers play a very important role for the project to be known by many investors and investment funds.

Macaffee had been part of many token creation since he got involve in crypto there were lots of the projects he shills were still not successful actually. One particularly was the the bitfence which right now were renamed bittrix but still uncertain where its going. I certainly doubt this guy's approach but there was a rumor about him earning per tweets he made about a project.

Advisors can be hired and they are really helpful to a project since they got bigger background and experience, but since you relate it to a project, we can say that we should not base on advisors on how the project would become. Advisors give advice but it might not be implemented and those project might just use their names for a good image.

But the existence of an advisor is also a good idea to get support so that it can help in developing the project, success in a project depends on the strategy and teamwork

I think yes. If the advisor has a reputation and experience, it is also a way to market the project and attract investors.
But the important thing I care about now is which VCs have invested in the project, it ensures the success of the project.

If the project hires well-known advisers, it will help the project become more reliable for those who want to invest.
Yes, of course. Almost current projects needs advisors for this purpose. And if it's not a famous person but experienced in the field of the project, that's fine.

I believe that in such an issue as investing in risky projects, you need to make a decision yourself. It is necessary to carefully study everything and make a decision. No need to shift responsibility to others, listening to other people's advice.

A good adviser(more like an expert in blockchain startups) may work but this thing end up being abused as the advisors would find it hard to resist big money from loads of new projects. I guess there should be punishment for deceptive advices. That is one of many  way good advice can be sustained.

Definitely good advisors will help the team members in taking great decisions to foster and accomplish the project vision. But advisors alone is not the yardstick to ascertain whether a project is worth investing or not, there are more vital checks especially team capability and legitimacy,  token economics and product.

Advisers are not supernatural being for them to supernaturally make a project successful, an adviser could only play his part, and it is left for the project developers and team to take it or leave it because there is no way he can fully enforce whatever he feels would be good for the project unless that developers act on it. Yes he is meant to be a specialist, and that is why you even see a lot of whitepapers convincing enough because he has put his own contribution into it.

There is no way he will absolutely know that the people  he is dealing with is a scammer since it is not written on the forehead, and they will act so serious that you could take them for the most serious person on earth, meanwhile their motive behind the project is hidden within them. So there is not much adviser can do in making a project successfully if the team is not ready to take and act on the advice.

Advisors are good only for raising more money, nothing else, in most cases they do not understand the project and do not know team intent.
Look how many projects where McAfee was an Advisor died.  ::)

What does an adviser has to do with an ICO, I am not really understanding. Do you mean on the side of those that are running the ICO or do you mean those that are investing in the ICO? Because one adviser can be doing the job for the both of them. Those running the ICO can possibly have an adviser who is experienced and helps them know what is right and how to follow up and be successful on their project. Then as for investors, you can have someone that will be advising you on which to invest your money and the ones you’re not to. These are two different things. But it’s not that an adviser is needed, as long as you know what you’re doing and you’re sure about it.

Depends on the quality of the adviser. If you can get Vitalik as your adviser then of course its going to help with a new project, he will be able to give you a lot of insights on crypto and help your project out plus it would create a big advertisement opportunity as he is your adviser and he wouldn't pick your coin to help out if he didn't believe it but he has no time to run it all by himself so he is just advising. That would actually cause your new coin to get funded in 10 seconds.

However, of course not all can get a good adviser like Vitalik so when it comes down to literally a person only 100 people may know or basically only his own circle knows, a dude from totally different nation who has nothing to do with him will not care about seeing him as the adviser. You may be the CEO of your bank if you want but as long as its local, dude from china will not know the CEO of German bank which means its useless.

I think this is a Yes and No question. It is yes because some projects have flourish in the past with the help of advisors and it is NO because some advisor are not relevant to some project and they only receive coin without contributing any meaningful thing to the project. This issue of adviser depend largely on the choice of the project management itself. If wrong advisors were chosen then they won't help the project buy if the right ones were chosen then it will make the project flourish.

I think most of the advisors do nothing. They are just getting paid, so their name and reputation can be used.
I think they do research the project that they agree to be associated with, but they rarely do any contribution.

I do not think advisors really helps projects at all, people have woken up to the fact that most advisors for project are just doing it for the financial gain and this has made people not even check the advisory team when considering the projects they want to invest in.  Most of these advisors do not contribute positively to the project, they are just added there to look good and make the project seem more credible.

I think advisors with past successful projects help new projects very well by give the new projects trust, only if this advisors did not participate before in previous scam projects.
So i will look to advisors first.

I feel that it would depend on the jobs that the adviser worked on before as well. A well-established person could make the project stand out a lot.

It depends who the advisor is or are, the advisor should have a good reputation and should have expertise on the project that he is supporting, he will give advice, instructions, and guide that is why the advisors know that the project he is working with is legit because he will extend the trust to this project by his followers.

Not too influential in my opinion, it all depends on the project itself, if the project is good without any famous advisor the project can be successful, and vice versa even though there are advisors who are already well-known but the project is bad definitely not going to succeed

Personally I think advisors are key to the progress of new projects but most importantly, advisors with long term experience in the crypto industry. Experienced advisors are guide to new projects and it's success. Though some projects made it without advisors does not mean every project can make it without advisors. Advisors are truly helpful in the progress of new projects.

Most of these so called "advisors" are just paid shills. Even if they were somehow visionary experts able to predict future value in the Crypto

Space, which is a doubtful possibility in itself, their judgement would still be impaired by the monetary incentive they receive from the project

they are promoting, which almost goes without saying in the vast majority of the cases they review...

But honestly, most of them are just using their name in the industry to gain attention from the users. Sometimes the project will ask to use their name in the list of Advisors but the truth is they are not hands on with the project. And some of them are just after for the paycheck that they will get from the project. Let's admit such fact.

The work of an advisor, just as the name implies, mainly is to give technical advises to the project CEO. An advisor most times, is someone who has knowledge in that chosen field, most especially on blockchain technology. So if they give good advise, then they are very useful.

I don't see the advisor's impact on the project they are just an invited guest for the project to make it looks legit but it still goes down to the main developers, I have seen a lot of projects that have a lot of popular advisors but still failed to come out a legit project.

at the first times it will help the project a lot. Got advisors that have a big name really helping to promote new project, that mean give more trust to investor to buy that coin/token. but at the end its all depend on the project it self

depends who they are and who they know. sometimes they can be useful to help you make connections with other industries and usually they know a lot of people that can make things happen for the project.

that's it, they're promoting the project. And most of them are sold, people are driven into the Scam projects, then they say that they have nothing to do. this is Good if you are not the first year on the market and do not listen to anyone but yourself. But many people really blindly believe and listen to the so-called adviser.

All advisors are not the same, some are just there for cosmetics, to.make the project look good but do not add any real value to the project.. and there are some advisors that actually contributes positively to the project so we cannot group all of them into the same category because all individuals and projects are not the same.

I have seen a lot of projects that have failed but they all portrayed to have consisted of good advisors with vast experience in related fields. It is not a prerequisite to having a successful outcome after all bitcoin itself doesn't have such plethora of team but it is the most successful cryptocurrency

I believe the influence of an advisor to a crypto currency projectt cannot be undermined
The advisors guide the path of the project towards success
Such as timely announcement, listing platforms, crowdfunding, supervision of development of project
Blockchain creation and handling without hassle

And many more; even sometimes, advisors drive up the potentials of projects

It seems to me that not always every member of the team contributes to the promotion of the project. Sometimes it may just be a list of people who don't really have any function. If the project is a success, then the team is working on it and each of its members is involved.

Advisors truly help new projects to succeed is such a crucial market in diverse ways. Well known advisors give trust to new projects which helps attract quite majority of investors out there. Experienced advisors help new projects skip hurdles or problems they should have met and this enables quick development of the projects in the crypto industry.

A person is arranged so that he is inclined to trust only to those people who already have experience in implementing certain projects. That is why new projects are trying to get experienced and famous people into advisors. This gives more confidence to their project.

With new advisor who has a reputation and a big name in the cryptocurrency market, he helps the project to reach the target of selling tokens. In addition, another advantage for new projects is that they get another perspective on a project that can last long because advisor usually has a long experience in the cryptocurrency market.

I don't know how effective they really are or if they are just there to make the project look legit. But their job is to advise and except otherwise, I believe they do so.

New project need an advisers to help them guide how to properly launch their brand/product and with the help of adviser they can reach the old player to get a partnership. However, a project with a well known adviser is NOT necessarily a good project. I know many project that have Roger Ver as their adviser and their product is very bad. So always DYOR and do not put adviser as one of the reason you invest in some project.

My idea of advisers have changed already ever since I have seen a lot of projects with great advisers that still failed. Most, if not all, advisers have credentials that would really make you awed. Many advisers have made a company or two, started a project, got PhDs and masters in known universities in Europe or in the USA. But how come they were not able to convert all these experiences and knowledge into the success of the projects they are advising? My hunch is that their names are just placed there with or without permission but they are not really advising.  

It depends upon how much the advisers are crypto influencers. Most of advisers now only after money , they don't care about the project as long as they are paid all is good and the project is not a scam. If they don't get paid their heafty amount then the project is a scam . Its this mentality also letting good projects who cant afford the payment for big advisers are going downhill.

And yes they are very important part of a project , if they bring lots of value to the project. For example they might be expert in marketing , if they bring all their experience and advise the projects in right way then the project can do wonders.

Definitely Yes. The credibility of an ICO can be determine by the advisors who really supported it. But the question is that, are these advisors a real people? We need to be sure about that because some are just fraud.
We should also consider the specialization of the advisor if it is appropriate to the project. This will determine the quality of the project since the advisors are the people behind the project development.

I voted for "Yes, known advisors give trust to the new projects and help the new project to success."
I think a trusted and good advisor could improve a projects success score, it also can bring trust to the community. Sometimes the development depends on him, as he has a major role in making a good plan for the project.

We don't know if the advisors help the new projects or not because we don't know who they are, where they live and do they are advisors in real life or not. They can use anybody to be used as their advisory because when someone identity was on the internet, everyone can use their identity to anything. So I never think about advisors because I don't know and I don't have any information about them and if they use LinkedIn to prove that they are real people, it doesn't mean they are real people.

It's not as bad as you are, but celebrities can easily find them on the internet. You see, for example, the founder of ETH as an advisor for any project makes it very attractive to investors.

Advisor is never can be the point research some project will get success or fail and maybe scam.
The best point knows good projects is start to look product launched, if they have it that 50% real project.

Yes advisors part in every project is always very important,this most times create more awareness for the project if the advisors are very popular people

Some advisers are very active, they work with people they assist in planning and developing, some work from distance and help only with ideas and recommendations. An adviser should be a person with a deeper knowledge of a specific area. Can an advisor help a new project? Definitely yes! If he is good at what he does, he can guide the project! He doesn`t have a specific task, he works with the entire team and he can help with almost everything. Experienced advisors are always wanted, they can warn you about possible mistakes, or open your eyes for new things, it`s an important role in every business. One man can do everything alone, with good advisors business can be cross-functional and multidisciplinary, which can benefit the entire project.

It's a very good idea that new projects have advisors. But how do one even confirm that these advisors dont have ulterior motives. How do you validate their authenticity.

It is good that new projects have and people might want to take up projects that have such good advisors but my opinion is just that,any time you want to take on a new project,  after reading all you can about the project and taking advice from various advisors, follow your mind.

Dont join a project because many advisors have spoken about it. That is not what will guarantee the success of the project. It's good though to have multitudes of councellors  but in all, always follow your mind.

we should check what exactly is the project? What team is standing behind it? It is worth drawing attention not so much to advisors and ambassadors, but to the team performance, to find out whether they follow the roadmap.
In this case i like Moozicore .
There project is awesome. there team is well experienced and working heard to make successful there project. John mcafee is advisor of this project but i dont concentrate on advisor. after completing my research i found many good points to like this project.

https://tokensale.moozicore.com/  (https://tokensale.moozicore.com/)

Some investors want to see advisor with big name or name with good reputation. With experienced advisors, the investor will get an overview of the project going forward. Advisors who have a good reputation will certainly not accept projects that can destroy their reputation. But anyway, everything depends on the developer team

the advisor is a specialist in his field who is demanded to make the right decision for his team, if taken from a scam project or not it seems don't just look from his advisor.  In the past there was also a programmer and American businessman John McAfee who was an adviser in the Docademic project which was based on health (but now it seems to change names) I followed his bounty and the project was successful even the price of his tokens was expensive when entering the market.  do not judge the project from a point of view but from ideas, innovations, real products, and can benefit everyone

I think. An adviser must help for a project. How much capital will be in the project? How many tokens? which exchange will be listed.everything help he.

Advisers are needed to encourage projects to be more advanced, there will always be errors and lots of input from community members, such as the price of coins and the products they create, so we never think about how a new project can be successful if it doesn't have good advisory members. think the advisor is always needed for a new project

I don't think so, I have met many of the best advisors who have handled a lot of projects but what happened was not a few of the projects they handled had failed. If you visit the icobench site, you will find many advisors who have high ratings and projects that they handle, then try to see between the projects, are many successful? I don't think so, it's the same as the others. So the conclusion of the project's credibility cannot be determined through its advisors.

Yeah, advisers can help but honestly I don't think they play a vital role on project development. An adviser can give ideas, opinions and suggestions, but every decisions in the end are always taken by the person in charge such as main developers and their team. They play a soft role in this case, as ideas can be good to create better projects but not mandatory.

yes of that's is why they called ADVISORS.. they will not be in that position if they cannot help the projects that they are in.

Advisor can help projects to succeed. In joining a project, don't be afraid to make decisions, don't be afraid the project is a scam. If you are a bounty hunter, surely you know how to see the project before deciding to join.

I don't think they carry weight, it's the project that really counts we have seen hundreds of projects, that has a lot of advisors but unfortunately they still cannot keep up and those projects cannot keep up and they failed to gain supports from investors even though some of their advisors are big names.

I think advisor could help for success for a ICO. But it doesn't mean they would give you guaranty about the team. Advisors getting paid for their job, but they couldn't prevent scam if team want to skip with dund. Because advisors isn't involved with fund management. Even OP could advise on a ICO, but you could not give guaranty about scam.

I don't think advisors are needed too much for an ICO program to run. because whether or not an ICO program is running or not depends on the team that is working to continue to develop and lead to the targets specified by the ICO. if the team really works well and makes good use of all investor funds surely the ICO will arrive at the desired target.
and for investors who want to fund an ICO program, it is better to see and observe first whether the ICO program is really working on their project so that there will no longer be embezzlement of the project funds made by the ICO team.

I do not know about most advisors but I can only speak about the onne j am familiar with, I do not think advisors help projects at all especially social influencer advisors, for example Ian Balina who is famous for shilling Sparkster and a bunch of other dubios project, the ironic thing is that those he dumped ended up doing well.

Well, if we are referring if the advisors give an impact to a certain project then I will say yes. The credibility, the reputation and the professional profile of a certain advisor can be a good basis of a good project. The reason why it is because they are the people behind who will guide the project team in the development of the certain project.

But here's the catch. The advisor should be a real person or a legit profile. We have to know if is real or not because even if it is the most appealing profile but it is not true, it is useless.

Advisors help usually to make people believe that the project is good. Usually some famous people in crypto industry as advisors will make project get boosted when in sale. But at the end, i think they all almost same.

I have seen really dumb projects have super advisors, and really good projects have really dumb advisors. Like this guy Simon Cocking he advises so many projects and they are all bad. And he is editor in chief and his english is sometimes some of the worse I have seen,,, and I am not even the best English speaker around. And John McAfee too. So many shilling so many shitcoins.

I do understand the fact that various projects succeed in this market without a single advisor but truth be told, the success of many project has always been the advisors behind the project acting like the brain behind the project giving it directions to follow. Advisors truly help new projects and without them, many new projects will collapse in this surprise market.

I thought that if you can't put the advisor in the same place as a consultant and look at the fact about the majority of advisors are coming from the popular or famous person that already got paid to promote the ico or project. remember when some icos try to paid celebrity to promote its platform.

but advisor who already have big names and many followers can influence their followers to join the new project. it's very reasonable, and we can see several projects also take advantage of such opportunities.

Really good known advisors dont want to ruine their reputation. So, i think, good advisor is sort of good signs of the projects

Advisors needed in the initial stage, and when it goes to raise money for the MMM , I think the advisors play the role of prestige . I know companies that have worked without advisors and perfectly entered their tokens on the market and everyone is happy. And I also kompanii , which was so cool advisers traveled to the United States , appeared on television , and in the end even paid hunters awards and tokens of them slipped a thousand times

especially for advisors with a background in expertise in cryptocurrency. they must have an important role to bring investors to join the new project they support. indeed one of the considerations for joining a new project, sometimes we see the team and the people who work in the project. advisors have a big role to play in new projects.

I do not see the impact of advisors on new projects. Nontheless, how many projects actually utilize their advisors. I just see them as mere pictures on whitepaper pages or website pages. If the advisors or projects actually get good words from the advisors, I believe we should see more of good and sustainable projects in the space.

The fact that there are many projects out there that succeeded without advisors does not significantly means all projects will succeed without them. Most advisors are real experienced crypto enthusiast who know what is important for a project at every point in time and to me thats makes adviosrs very important personalities to help new projects.

for a new project it is indeed very important the role of the advisor to direct the best steps to be taken by the development team. if they move as they please and don't answer the answer to the problem they will ask their advisor.

This depends on how the CEO's policy, if the CEO receives assistance from existing advisors, can provide good advice on the project and can provide good development for the ongoing project.

that's the point of having an advisor on a project. provide advice and strategies that can benefit their project. Of course advisors are those who are experienced, of course their advice will be to build a better project. but that really depends on how their CEO accepts advice from the advisor.

If you have an advisor like Roger Ver, then you can be sure that it would really help your project to raise at least soft-cap. Yes, really, only one name and that is enough!
So be careful and do not care only about good advisors.

Airdrops help projects at early phase to catch eyeballs of crypto enthusiasts and potential investors; help to build up widely communities. However, it long run, it might have side effects, because airdrop receivers might dump their coins. That is why we see some good projects do buy back and burn in order to keep price stable.

It is the past story, and might not be truth from now on. Since the failure of Bitcoin Cash, then Azbit projects, I don't think people will be FOMOed by Roger Ver. What is real bitcoin, it is a big joke, IMO. There is only one bitcoin, that is Bitcoin, which has a ticker BTC, that is unique.

Yes, of course. Not just in this market,
Advertisings by hiring famous people to using products, tell about products, or someone that successes in products's field as advertiser. I think would effect so much if that products success or not.
Same as in cryptocurrency, I think so.

For me, it's no, the advisors are not part of the team that will create the platform or continue to work with the project, they are just names on their homepage, it's still the platform and project that will speak if the project will generate support and get funded.

Most of the advisers in the project are nothing but candy which the real project owners use to attract the investors like us. Though sometimes advisers can be really helpful to the project which is new to the crypto-verse.

I think advisors don't have a big influence on the project, advisors are just a complement. I mean advisors are only the outside of the project and their work is only to attract investors, and the important role in the project is the developer and the project team. which determines whether a project will run well or not, namely the performance of the developer and the project team.

They don't belong to a team but through their guidance, the company will have a process of how to attract the investors. that's why every ICO company will list their Advisors because they have very good experience how to attract the investors and how to do PR works in a different way.

If the advisor is reputable and became part of a successful project before, this will give highlight to the project. Before when John McAfee isn't like what he used to be right now, many have believed in him and thought that everything he say is valuable.
And due to that, a lot of projects paid him that much to become advisor and advertised their projects which gave positive result but those projects didn't became reputable instead, they became a pump and dump tokens.

I agree, experienced Advisors will definitely share their expertise and see the opportunities that can be achieved by new projects. The start-up developer team will definitely need guidance in finding opportunities and I think experienced advisors will give the team a new perspective

Advisors are the core or foundation behind every project. If the project is going to succeed, 80% comes from the advisors behind the project because they have a total control as to where to drive the project to and fro. Though most projects survived without advisors but that does not mean advisors are do not help new projects, they do really help new project onto the market and even whiles on the market.

I think it's a little helpful because the advisor can give a little breakthrough in developing the project and also most projects if you have a good advisor, usually the project will have a lot of interested people (apart from the project that will succeed or fail in the future)

You would be surprised how many people invest in ICOs just by looking at advisor team.

That's also the reason why some fraud ICOs put famous crypto names as their advisors. Sometimes damage has already been done before investors get to know the truth.

I called them as naive and careless investors, whom will easily to be scammed and stolen money from bad projects, bad advisors, and price manipulations. Investors, should have their own perspective, own projects' assessments, and their decisions should not mainly or totally relied on advices from anyone else.

Advisor is very important to every aspect of work or profession in life,so also every new project in the crypto sphere. Advisor is important to the success of a project.

The role of advisors in cryptocurrency project development is very paramount. Advisors are the key players who are responsible for the provision of all necessary crypto related information to the team behind the project development. However, the expertise of the advisor is what determines how the project is executed especially with regards to the following of the road map.

i know some advisor that really great when joining some team, that coin will pump like what he said. so its like he handle that value, until now that coin still worth.
good advisor make good team and good result. they are expert and im sure if they ever make some review on many ico. dont forget if experience make them success

each ico project has each advisory team that fits their field or expertise. But I think the important role in a project is the developer and the project team, the advisor only helps to attract the ico investors and developers who are the most important in the ico project.

Advisor can help new projects to succeed. And many projects have been successful, there are advisory roles that help. Indeed, making a decision is difficult, let alone a decision about a bounty project.

yes the advisor helps the project, advisors and bounty hunters are almost the same. it's just that determines how it works.
they work in the field and meet directly in front of investors, if their advisors are good at promoting the project, investors will certainly join them.
advisors are no different from bounty hunters, bounty hunters also have an important role in the project, I mean, bounty hunters work through signature campaigns. without an advisor and an automatic project bounty hunter the project will not function properly.

Advisors really do help new projects in diverse ways of which many are not aware of. Most successful projects are a success because of the advisors behind the project and the fact that some are doing great without advisors does not mean advisors ain't important to new projects. To me, advisors are key in the success of new projects.

Advisors are paid for reviewing and promoting new cryptocurrencies, do you think that they get paid for negative reviews? Of course that not! Advisors are not independent, so do not trust every word what they say.

I don't think that advisors can significantly affect on work of ICO project Team. At the moment, collection of investments through ICO is a risky business. Much more likely project to receive investment on exchange through IEO.

I think advisor did not help new project. Because all we know that investors did not invest because of advisor's help, people will invest because of features of the project and the knowledge that they have to commit and investment in every project and it is not because of advisor. I think you must have to focused on marketing, it is more worth it if talk about new project.

I think it all depents on qualification of advisor, if he is really good, of course he (advisor) can help project`s team.

Yes it's still the developers who needs to work a lots advisers are just part of the team they can do influence if they are well known from the target venue of service that the team is aiming, known personalities have a good impact in the minds of wise investors, if there's a value of that particular personalities they can gained potential investors but all this will be at the hands of the developing teams.

An experienced, reliable and competent Advisor will bring bright future in the project development. But in some cases placing Advisors "only as an supplement" (Possibly indeed paid) but not participating in developing the project, only formalities on the website, whitepaper etc. I don't think it will have a positive impact on a project.

It absolutely they just making money. Advisers are not helping anymore and project owners never rely on them for any help that they could give.
The future of crypto relies on the project owners and whatever it happens to their project, advisers are still safe.

Of course, advisors play important role in the development and success of a project. What matters most is the expertise level of the advisor in cryptocurrency, its market analysis, when to release the finished product and to which population to target with such product. The team must also be ready to make good judgments if advisors provide the wrong move.

of course yes advisors do really help new projects in diverse ways since these advisors have been in the crypto industry for long and knows how many things function and how to do things systematically. Advisors are indeed the core eye and have a 70% influence in determining the success of a new project.

Paid advisors can't give the honest review if they look at the project review as an additional income from nowhere. The long experience is not a small thing but it is not enough to measure the success of the ICO with the only experience. There are teams with the anonymous LinkedIn social media pages but they get the C- rating by the advisors.

What is promoted more than average promotions was not attracted me, the quality product speaks for itself instead of seeing the banner ads on the social media page corners. Advisor's opinion can help me to cover the minus sides of the project, opinion without any critical evidence will not change my mind to invest in the project or go for another one. Paid youtube reviews are also vulnerable while investors look for review of the famous people.

Amidst this, the role of an advisor cannot be rejected in the development of a project. In cases where the authenticity of the advisor is low, the team can choose one member who is more experienced in cryptocurrency marketing and other affairs to provide various strategies especially during certain market situations.

in my opinion, the team would not be so strong without an advisor. Well, Their job is to advise on the shortcomings of the project in their fields. therefore, a strong advisor will also influence the project to become stronger. if a strong and professional team is assisted by professional advisors in their respective fields. it certainly will make the project development process better in the future. every place on the team will be very important.

Good advisors could actually be of help if they are consulted. Sadly, in most cases the core team just try to thrive of the influences of advisors, instead of seeking to learn from them. People get interested when they see some big names as advisors, but that shouldn't be the primary reason of getting advisors.

Advisors really do have impact on projects , the only issue is if the projects really do listen and make Use of the advise they give to them ! The advisors have the capacity to guide the projects which is why they were appointed ! Majorly they do have impact on the projects

The advisor will help a lot in guiding us to take decision. They are capable ini giving many opinions about the project. If the project get good recommendation from some big named of advisors, there will be many people interested into the project. So, we can deny the influence of the advisor. They are also one of the reason that why the project become success.

different unit on identification as investors to release one with option as buying new commodity on market with the index, to gains with difference as targeting limit of returns on profit to complete within the terms of plan with the bitcoin trading business.

Advisors also brings attentions to the projects that they are in to, the team who knows how to make things positively will not depends with the knowledge of advisors but also to their popularity, the name itself can be a source of good trust from the people and investors who wanted to participate with projects that they are following with, there's influence that advisors can bring to the project a big lift once the team knows how to work it out and maximize everything.

Even in real life you don't see that many public listed projects really put their advisors to good use. But there you have it. Having a good advisor that actually consults than a big name guy with no real technical expertise is 10x better for your project... but gains you nothing in terms of interest from investments. That's the sad reality.

Certainly, the presence of an advisor certainly makes investors optimistic about the future of project and collect moneyt, unfortunately many projects do not provide definite information about the adviser so it is not convincing for investors.

If the advisor is actually known and has some successful credible project at his portfolio then i think its actually normal to trust them If the project team are doing their work those advisor will make it gain some ground

I think advisors stand the chance of filling the gab between success and failure of a project. Personally I think advisors do help new projects very well in different categories. Most of these advisors are pioneers in the crypto industry who knows much as to how, who and when to do anything pertaining to the project as they help in directing the project onto a successful platform.

Yes I do but in this case has to do with good and experienced advisors. If really the advisors has nothing to offer I don't any project team will be happy employing their services. Now talking about success, some advisors can help draw hype to a project which will of course lead to success while some will add both hype and the neccessary experience so as to ensure long term sustainability; therefore it can be seen that although advisors helps projects to be successful, it comes on different ways.

In conclusion, the advisor must have a big influence on the success of a project in forming a wide market network. Especially well-known advisors who play a role in cryptocurrency will certainly increase investor confidence before joining, moreover the advisor has handled successful projects in the market before.

I do think advisors help new projects, because the success of the platform will also count as their success thus giving them more prestige to be used by other projects. Also, the advisors needs to be people with great experience and if possible Influence, as it will go a long way in convincing investors to invest while giving them confidence. However, we also need to study the project to know if it worth it or not, as most advisors can be there for short term profitability.

Of course, the role of advisors cannot be underestimated in project development yet not all the advice can be employed especially when it does not go in line with the goals of the project. This is why the advisor and the rest of the team members must reason together, use their discretion and cryptocurrency expertise to run the project as a team. With this, the project can achieve its goals.

I think there is a certain amount of successful advisors that have already worked with several projects and made them to succeed. Otherwise, an advisor is just another guy that believes he can run a crypto project. Unfortunately, a lot of such advisors fail.

Of a fact, the duties played by advisors cannot be taken for granted however not every advice goes in line with the mission of the project and care must be taken then when adhering to issues in terms of that. Advisors play key role as in they help in directing the project to a perfect ending since most of these board of advisors are key factors and knowledgeable in the field of crypto and finance. Honestly, the success of most projects is as a result of their board of advisors which means advisors really help new projects.

Going by what I have seen from top Cryptocurrency advisors like Ian Balina and John McAfee, I would say that Advisors do not aid projects at all because they seem to be after lining their own pockets, unless it's technical advisors in the field of that project that would assist in the actual development of the project.

Of course, they do! I have seen some project who hadn't good partners nor good updates, but they raised their all-cap only because they had good known advisors. But if your project is not good enough, then famous advisors can't help you. Roger Var is an advisor of Livenpay and Azbit projects and both projects suffered a lot!

i see few of ico campaign project can be successfull because they hired good advisor for their team, in some case of course advisor is needed to build community and make investor more interest to invest in the project they managed, that's why for now job as advisor is just for people with good reputation in blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem

It's more appropriate if we look on the team who will manage the project and those who are responsible on the success or failure of the project.

An advisor's job is just to give their advise but it's still up to the CEO or the manager of the project if he will follow the advise or not, and also, I think advisors name are put as part of the project just to market the project to raise a good amount but in the inside, we don't know how big their involvement in the development of the project, some advisors are just even get paid for their names but not their job IMO.

Using the reputation of the ICO advisors is not an appropriate method for increasing the awareness in my opinion. The advisors talk from their experience and their experience doesn't always matter in most cases especially in the new projects. New projects also don't consider the current situation in the IEOs and delaying the proejct will be better from the timing perspective. About the 50% of the IEOs on the exchanges as Binance can take the successful roadmap goals.

Moreover, influential advisors in cryptocurrency must always be used as a reference, speculation is often used as a basis for analysis. Projects supported by influential advisors will definitely have a higher appeal, of course, it will be in vain if it is not supported by the strategy and quality of the project, as you explained. Conversely, a strong project, a good strategy and product, will certainly provide a good image as well and will automatically attract market interest, even without a special advisor.

An experienced advisor in the world of cryptocurrency will certainly help a project to survive amid the intense competition in new coins. In addition, a well-known advisor can attract many investors and also provide guidance on how a product is created and marketed

It's depend on advisors it self, are they used for brand/marketing only? are they used to make project looks greatin first appereance?

Sure on their web, they will give position to their advisors. However we can not know what is function of advisors on a project. Are they really help project to find investor or announce project to their network? Only internal team know this issue.

I also still looking way to knwo about this

I don't really think advisors helps new projects in making decisions or enhancing the project even more. Advisors for me are more like to gain a public trust coming from the community that the advisors supports this project and that means that is a legit project. That's all they can help with the project.

I think the current successful project has three main elements:
1: Money
2: Community
3: Foundation

Personally I do support and second the idea that the success of a project directly depends on its advisors. The fact that most new projects succeeded without having a single advisor does not mean every project will succeed without an advisor. Advisors play key roles in deciding the roadmap of a project which is very necessary to a project and shows where the project is going with its future.

Advisors can function on both ways and it would always have that kind of pay.We cant really be sure if they do only focus out on one point or just tending to do overall works.
Im aint saying that these people arent that effective yet there are famous advisors known by the public and somewhat their current popularity and reputation does also act
some sort of initial marketing with the project but of course it do have corresponding additional pay with that talking on projects success or relevance will not vary with these people.
They can give out inputs or insights but as said there's no such weight with that.

Yes they do, but the good ones in this case while there are different case scenarios. That is, just like there are team or developers without appropriate knowledge of the project they want to launch, same is with advisors. Also, there are cases where advisors are used to hype a project, in such cases one needs to be careful because the team might only be after profit and nothing more. Furthermore, I think the best way to judge advisors is by checking their relevant experience and connecting it with the project they wish to offer advice on, to see if it matches.

We should have a high percentage of the advisors that are not efficient and effective, cause if they did we wont be where we are with ICO and altcoins. Vitalik stopped when he noticed the implication in the longrun. Their images are just been used and they are well paid for, in some cases with the token and some in fiat/bitcoin. Some of these advisors initiate the project and put people to do the running around while they play advisor.

Well this is an intresting topic.. I have learnt to desist from using advisors as benchmark for projects to invest in because many of this advisors have sold their conscience hence are no longer worth my fellowership. Its only the likes of Roger ver that i think attract hype to projects but at the long run this projects often fail

Indeed these advisors truly help these projects but those of great experience is much necessary to the success of the project. You can have a whole board of advisors but if none is experienced in cryptocurrency, it will be very difficult for the project to succeed through such advisors. So indeed experienced advisors do help projects not just advisors.

Most advisors are playing as a front of a specific project. If they have good credentials, they are being paid in good amount of money. Of course, we don't know their arrangements. Some are really doing their job as advisors while there are others who are only for display to attract potential investors. I have seen countless projects that did that, and it is really not assurance for a project to be successful just by basing the advisors involved.

of course yes,,
moreover if the advisors is a famous guy in crypto industry my friend
in my opinion, this will help to attract the investors to the project

Since investors nowadays are not the same as before they dont care about who is the advisor. they are more interested on the project profitability.

I don't think so, advisors profile usually only shown to gain people's trust about the project.
and they doesn't really give advice to the project, so the success of new project is not depends on the advisors.

Projects hire advisors to promote them with their reviews. There are many advisors out there also who points in favour of the project just for the money. They don't care if they are reviewing it for someone who might turn on scam later onwards or not.

Its better to research on your own and make a decision for yoursleves. There are many out there who can fool you.

I think advisors needed to help new project more grow up day by day, to give good impact, new experience to its project.
But, i have concern about advisors existence that just for method to promoting their project, hire random people with good track record or crypto enthusiast to be secret marketing.

Correct. Most of investor think advisor will help project to reach better market, reach their goals, or get more investor (in 2017 case), but most of advisor just paid for just a fame figure.

Now, there's ico called as azbit and have cool advisor such as roger ver. If we back to 2017 mindset, most of people will think that roger ver will make azbit as second utility for bcash, or will promote azbit to bcash community. But for now, i think roger ver only as fame figure for azbit and won't do much for azbit. However I don't said this is bad ico, this is just for study case

I also got offered as business developer for an ico one years ago, ico owner give me their profile teams. At first, i thought this project will have good market and i really like their roadmap and they also have good vision. There's an advisor who become key (ico owner said), because he has ISO certificate for aeroplane. This is awesome rights?

What happened next? When i request to ico owner to propose a help from advisor to make busines offer to aeroplane industry, this advisors become useless. I don't know is this advisor is just fake profile nor not, at the time.

Advisors have an important role to play in the development of a project. Experienced advisors act in professional way to conduct research on the market trend, know what, how and when the product and its development must be made available to the community in order to receive the best of adoption. Anyway, there should be a team work between the advisor and the rest of the members of the team in order to deliberate on some opinions or choices made by the advisor especially when it goes wayward from the goals of the project.

Forget advisers, what if after sales they don't act on the advise of the advisory boards? John McAfee once supported an ICO and the price fell like tsunami when it got to the exchange and I loss big. I will not be deceived by any paid professional hired as an adviser. Good team will always deliver when handling a good project even without advisory board.

I think there are advisers who simply receive money for posting their photos on the project website and in WP to increase the status of the project. But there are advisers who, having experience in other projects, in trade, in software development, can share this experience with a young project team that does not have this experience.

Advisers should provide guidance to new projects in working on their projects in order to produce good products. If an advisor is only needed to boost sales of tokens, I think it's influencers and in my opinion the new project advisor must understand about the project being done

Agree, there are some projects that I know have a good advisor but in the market it is not very successful even the price drops far below the ICO price. Advisor is not everything for a new project but on the other hand the advisor can also direct a project to be successful in selling tokens

That is entirely true. Advisors with good cryptocurrency reputation can be a source for attracting investors to the project especially when the team are not well known in the crypto space. The reputation of the advisor speaks a lot for the project because it is believed that a good advisor serves as a guide for how things should be done at certain times for the project to hit its bed rock target on the market.

Some advisers are too often involved in various projects that have yielded little success to investors and, therefore, they have earned a reputation of people who may be involved in any projects including fraudulent. John McAfee is among them.

a well-known and reputable advisor is not a 100% guarantee that a project will succeed.  there are many other factors that influence, so don't make it an absolute decision. the opinion of influential advisors can strengthen investor trust, but still must do independent analysis and invest safely.

Of course, if the project is supported by many well-known advisors, then that project will surely receive a lot of attention from the community and a great chance of success. And I myself am only interested in such projects

50% - yes
50% - no
The success of a project doesn't depend on its advisors but on the developers themselves.

Then it should not be 50/50, advisors are just part of the recipe but it's not a major recipe that could help the project to grow.
It might create some hype when the advisor is popular like Vitalik Buterin, but the long term success of the project still depends on the team who handles it.

In the past, there some projects that have a great advisors but I am not seeing them now.
Project will grow and will become popular when after the launch they will have partnerships on popular blockchain company because it could give great exposure to the project and therefore investors will see their potential.

Believe me, the work of developers is very important, but in addition to it you need to do other very important work for the success of the project.I do not think that advisors have too much influence on the project's progress.There are such startups where there are more advisors than a team.This is clearly not right.I think one competent marketer and manager is enough.

Advisors are hired to make suggestions and open the eyes of the team to their blindsides.
This will give a big help to the success of the team and their ICO/IEO. advisors give a lot of factor to success, even in marketing they have the voice to influence.
Every member of the team plays big for the success of all.

There are different kind of advisors some knows very much about marketing and some knows very much about how the crypto market works. Those who knows well about the economics of the crypto markets can advice what to do for the coin circulation and can probably maintain the coin price and does the marketing easy for the project. I'm sure pro successful team has someone who knew how these should work.

in my opinion the advisor is able to provide an image to the public, especially if the advisor is someone who has credibility, he is able to give a positive impression on the public.

That's right, because advisors on a project are clearly very helpful for the project, especially when there are problems that are not yet understood by the public, so the advisor can explain them directly to the public, both through the media and through deliberate meetings.

Many investors get attracted to projects with popular advisors but i have seen few projects with well known advisors that are still not doing very well in terms of market value but atleast they are better than projects that end up dead in just few months, my point is well known advisors can be used to determine if a project is real or not sometimes

advisors help us to develop the project and attract funds in a systematic manner i have joined some icos only by seeing the advisors they have on board

But with the past projects that I've seen, the projects are boasting on who's their advisor which I think that helps them to market the project by simply buying the name of the advisor and including it to their project's developers name.

Well, the main workers of a project are the developers themselves. If the advisor is popular, then the project will show their investors that they have included that popular guy to their project as an advisor which can attract more investors. That's why I think it's 50/50.

Advisors have a somewhat important role in a company. Advisors often have a positive impact on their ideas or experiences for the company's plan. Of course, the occupancy of advisors will make the company more flawless in carrying out the project during a fundraiser. But in the crypto project, the advisors don't have much success impact because they are behind the scenes when the fundraising takes place.

sure it will make the project success , especially when they try to launch ICO , the popularity of their advisor sure will make some investor interest. but after that the project sure depend on how the team and developer. Advisor just work like give some advice to team and developer.

an advisor must have an established psychology and have a lot of experience, so they can solve problems well. I think the presence of an advisor will have a positive impact on the company to be able to develop optimally. an advisor can see universally from all sides, so he can produce the best solution

I feel that a team that is strong and has experience in the field they are working on does not need an advisor. it's just that, a strong team, with experienced advisors, will make the project more promising. however we need to pay attention to the team, and the people concerned about the development of the project we support. with advisors a project can minimize the risk they get, even more so if the advisors also have experience in cryptocurrency, and also the fields they master.

it depends on how the advisor's performance in offering the project program they manage to investors, if the advisor has expertise in his field, it might be good for the progress of the project. , actually the most important or key to the success of a project is only the developer or project team.

Advisors do really help new projects in numerous ways and help new projects to progress. The progress of a project in indirectly dependent on its advisors, though there are many projects that ended well without advisors but to come to think of it very well and critically, advisors indeed help new projects to succeed especially experienced advisors in the crypto world.

They help but it depends on their experience. Every team member has to bring something to the project and advisors bring experience and maybe a bit of trust.

Of course if a project is bad and the team has no idea what they're doing an advisor will not be able to do wonders but overall it's better to have as many such assets as possible.

Some project I see usually only use the advisors' name for attracting people to invest and not really helping the project to strive to be a better project. But some also getting helped by the advisors. However, a well known advisor will make people trust the project a little more and make the project looks legit. I guess it helps a new project in a quite unique way.

The problem many a times is that these projects don't listen to advisors, they have a way they wish to do their things and they always follow it. Some other times advisors are humans and can give not too good advice.

There were many cases when there were good advisors and projects they had excellent, but when you go to the last project on their recommendation, problems begin, even famous people in the crypto currency advertise projects that can fail , there are always big risks

Some advisors specially the known ones here in crypto can add more to your community. If for instance your project is backed by the big names in crypto like Dan Larimer, Vitalik, or even just Ver your community will be much larger. IEO could be sold out by the glory of those names. Without such kind of advisors in the list on your website, you  might not be able to get attention.

not just to make the corporate community big because of the impact of the big name advisors. all difficulties that may be faced by the developer will certainly ask for direction or solution from the advisor to determine the steps and strategies taken. those who have big names and experts in certain fields really help new projects.
