It usually surprise me when I see investors complaining about a good project that didn't increase  or providing returns immediately it got listed on the exchange and they term it scam or say different things like rekted.
But the truth is, are these investors investing in the project because they believe in it or are they just in it for the immediate profit and move on?  Because if you are investing in a project because you believe in it then you should be willing to HODL the tokens and wait for the team to gradually deliver the project and meet its necessary roadmap before you judge it and not condemn it on its first listing.

This is typically true for 80% of all new coins to launch, project legitimacy, how "good" it is and various of other factors are directly correlated with how much profit they bring investors. While crypto markets are a good sign of how successful a project is, it isn't the be-all end-all consideration for how successful a project is currently or can be.

But regardless, if a project is failing on the markets, it typically is for good reasons; generally, how they executed on the launch of their coin and what exchanges/strategies that have immediately after distribution of coins and years to come. If projects have high goals post-sale that can be reasonably met with good solid evidence of how the teams execute and still drop, then yes you're 100% correct. If teams are executing and are meeting all deadlines and visions they set out with, then their failures are on how effective their marketing team is.

Almost all the time, it's due to poor execution and lack of understanding behind crypto teams. More importantly, there are only a few select exchanges that are even still operating on a profit or have actually real traders/users behind their platform, an added typical factor most seek out, what is the exchange?

Ultimately, there are many many factors to consider the successes and failures of projects, leading up to the finalization/listing to continued and ongoing development. As expressed, if a coin has been existing for several months without any crypto "pump," then their marketing and communication team is a failure. If the project is not succeeding in returning a profit (in the business) or not acquiring adoption/integration, then that crypto is a failure. If a coin dumps immediately after exchange listings, then it is all summed up above.

Theres are two type of investors long term and short term those investors who complain in a project that not increase is surely short term investor that want to earn profit in a short term.
A true investors are willing to hold for long term even the price dump so hard because they believe in a project no matter what happen just like bitcoin its take 8years to get their all time high.

Because their minds are already conditioned that crypto gives quick profit, that's why they are expecting that they can sell in a short term.
If they will based on the past trends, being profitable is easy, but the market is different now, they have to accept this big changes, we have been in the bear market for long and it seems it's not totally gone, especially for the altcoins as until now, we are not seeing a steady recovery yet.

Hopefully they will realize that crypto projects are start ups, it needs time to develop.

Lol
Your words are true; but there are facts you missed.
No matter how good a project is; no matter how promising a project is

Always remember it will definitely dump; because whatever goes up; must come down.

Yes, long term investors won't complain about immediate profits but they focus to see the improvement on the project products. They know that the value of new tokens will increase along with the development of the products. As it must need a lot of time to improve, investors should be patient to wait and support their efforts. While short term investors just focus to grab profits as soon as possible. They are surely price-oriented only. That's why they complain when the price goes down after listing on an exchange. It's caused they want to sell all the tokens immediately.   :D

Most people that I know of are restless and impatient nowadays. Gone are the investors of early days where they invest into something and watch it grow after many years and then reap handsome profits after waiting for 10 or 15 years for their investments to increase in value. I think the lesson here is that investors should expect that getting handsome profits is not an overnight affair but rather a calculated move that takes years before it bears fruit.

You have your point and I respect, you have no analyze the project before make investments and  you have to be patient and wait until the project became successfull
But in my experience, I already invested in projects that at the time was awesome in incredible, but the coins are dead right now, and I lost some money

Nowadays the things move fast, and devs have to show their work and progress in the beginning, they are asking people's money, so it's their jobs to make a good project

Honestly, we shouldn't blame the investors if they feel that way because the altcoin market is highly manipulated and many of the investors have lost some huge fund during the last crypto blood bath and scam ICO. So, once they see the project they invest in dumping simultaneously what comes to their mind is dejavu.

This particular kind of investors are almost as annoying as pure bounty hunters, who are also dumpers, who cannot have the patience to wait a little about significant project developments. Most probably they do not care about the project at all. Or worse, they do not really know about the project. They have not skimmed through their whitepaper nor get themselves familiar with their roadmaps. These investors are mostly individual investors who invested out of mere word of mouth or hype without knowing the real product of the project they are investing. In contrast to institutional investors, these impatient investors are only after their few bucks of profit.

Most investors are impatient and quick to judge projects because they forget to read the project's whitepaper to know more about the project's roadmap and know what the project is doing at every specific time. Investors are therefore encouraged to read the projects whitepaper and know about the roadmap to see whether investing into such a project will be a long term or short term.

Thanks for creating this good topic,many investors are in for quick gains only and they say lots of thing about good projects,they exclude the fact that good projects always takes time to reach new milestones and some projects will take years before they appreciate in value,this is why i promote projects with good promising future,i knew it wont be easy but its not impossible so i can boldly say i am not into crypto for quick gains but long term better gains

Investors today doesn't look at the long term outlook of a project.

---

With the popularity and hype of ICO, they all think that most projects will give them certain returns after investing. And the idea of it is when these tokens will be enlisted to an exchange.

Because the market forces investors to be quick otherwise they are losing money. This is current trend right now, that if an investor misses the opportunity to sell or to buy any asset, they are forced to wait for unknown time to get out or in any coin.

No, these so-called investors are someone who wanted to get rich in a single day because they heard Bitcoin could make you rich. A real investor does not really care about its short term price because they know the project will run for years, not for days. Nobody forcing you to invest your money, because you can understand the project perfectly by reading and researching, even if the market declines. 10 years is not long enough for investors, because everything needs to be done from scratch.

Its normal psychology that always happening on some people who just panic with them assets estimate goes down. Maybe there are got fud from the other guy, especially bounty hunter.
Of course, I agree with your statement that the investors already prepared themselves to face this phase, whatever that will happen they must be calm, because in investing world anything can happen.

Right and people should really not panic specially if they have the full trust in that company and they give their full trust to the management of the company and the community of the token or coin as a whole. If there is cooperation and transparency then people will be able to appreciate the efforts of the said company to be relevant and hence will be earning good profits in the future once the company grows.

Every project has a life cycle and not all projects start with huge returns. Some projects needs time to unfold her features and use case before getting to limelight. It's quite unfortunate that most people see cryptocurrency as a short term goal and want to rip all the benefits of investment at a go.

The price of the token isn't the most important thing if the project is valuable, having its attractive product, the price will go up surely in the future. Many newbies with ICO investing just expecting high returns in a short period of time, which is almost impossible in crypto trading. Patience and long term holding are always required.

It is a pity that many investors are only interested in money and they want to receive it as soon as possible. No one is ready to wait for the development of projects and the rise in price of their tokens. All investors want to sell their toe immediately after entering the exchange and a slight increase in price. That is why projects are in no hurry to go to exchanges.

It all depends on the goals pursued by the investor. If he invested in the project to get a quick profit, then this was clearly not the best solution. Of course, the token cant so quickly increase in price, but many investors probably do not understand this and then complain about the project.

There is no assurance that a coin will make you profitable in a short term, that's why it's necessary to be realistic so you can condition your mind that crypto are long term assets and it will take time to develop and increase its value.

Those altcoins that rises quickly are only due to hype, even if it's an extraordinary project, at the early stage, it cannot be so valuable, after the hype it will eventually dump and stable, so you are lucky if you know how to sell at the right timing, but remember these does not happen in most coins you are investing.

You cannot but always have two different sets of investors, when it comes to the duration of investment.
There are long term and short term investors. The short term investors are the usual retail investors, who are quick to sell and move to the next project for another quick profit.

Blaming their experience here. Strategy seeking immediate profits with a mindset "everyone is stupid but me" can not work for them in a longer period of time. Sooner or later they will get burned and blame who? The incompetent team, market situation, not well-known exchange, sell their coins... that will magically rise as the team keeps up. Empty-handed rushing to find another project to see the same scenario all over again. On the other side, it is quite funny for observers  ;D. Crypto community needs to grow up. Emotions are not in place in those situations. Responsibility lays in hands of every individual, though. But staying ignorant does not pay off.

The practically they have, cause for me I'd never stayed any longer when I know that this certain project never gives profits for me and better to find it in the other project. Maybe I could say that I'm a short term trader in general but also holding BTC in the long term.
Having these new sets of investors (impatient person) really have a huge impact on the market price, it makes the volatility getting stronger and stronger.

The impatient nature of most investors is usually because of their little or no knowledge about the main aim of crypto projects  and their mostly interested in the profits they will make from investing in new projects. Once they are not getting their intended profits, they start complaining and judging the project.

most investors becomes impatient and quick to judge projects because they are lazy to read and understand and just go by hype to make investments. As an investor, you have to know whether what you are investing in is a long or short term investment plan by reading the projects whitepaper in combination with its roadmap and support accordingly without without feeling impatient and judging the project.

Reading the projects whitepaper in this case would do little to help, as an investor what triggers that impatience is your money that you put in the project. So many coins don't last 24hrs before they begin to fall below their ICO price, though it's not a signal that the coin is going to fail but it's chances of success are not any big as well.

I wouldn't blame investors, watching your money fall with a coin is not easy in any way, if I did invest in altcoins and ICO's which I don't, I'll feel the same way, but I'll also exercise good amount of patience knowing fully well that success takes time.

I agree with your position, some projects are more profitable immediately after listing and could give a huge return to holders while others may need to take a while to give a good return to holders. It's best for investors to be patient with the team.

the purpose of investing is looking for profit so it's only natural that investors demand developments in the project being invested. investors must also believe in what is invested, because it has been chosen and determined in advance.

Investors don't complain usually if they get the profit all the time. But they complain if there is no pay. Lots of people are investing in different crypto projects. They even don't see and read the white paper which is most important. I think every investor should read white paper before investing their money in different crypto projects. This will ensure good payment and satisfaction.

Most investors aims for quick profits and not to support the project along the way, they start complaining each time they didn't see the outcome that they wanted to have, this kinds of attitude mostly being seen and even there's real future target most investors doesn't want to wait and be stuck, quick results or for sure a lots of complain will take place from each projects that will be introduced and offered from the market.

Yeah, I also agree with you guys. Most people are intended to make some quick profits. They even don't judge the projects and read carefully. Therefore don't get the profit what they expected.

While I understand that what you are saying is the truth, the nature of the market has forced them to be that way, when more than 90% of the projects are scams even if you believe that a project will do well you cannot afford the luxury to hold that coin for too long or you run the risk of becoming a bag holder and losing all the money you invested in that coin, holding for the long term is something that you should only do for coins like bitcoin but when it comes to new altcoins you should always be ready to sell in case something goes wrong.

Presently a good well known project stop paying out POS rewards because of some faults in the system and many investors already start calling the project different kind of names,insulting the ceo and teams but the fact is i cant blame people,its really not easy to invest large some of money in a project and right in front of your eye things start going wrong ways,if there should be any delays the teams or dev should atleast make announcement about it instead of keeping investors in the dark

Actually you are right but also let's look at it from another angle. I have seen good projects although it was last year, that has good prospects but funny enough till now it's yet to get listed.
Also, investors are quick to term a project scam etc when that project isn't living up to expectations, in this case I mean no tangible results that will attract value to the platform thus causing the price to keep dumping.

I don't think this is a major issue. When system work they will start paying again. Just need to wait for that to fixed the issue.

I can understand the position of investors in this matter. most investors really want to get quick profits, and some investors sometimes complain if it does not match the results they offer.

I think that there are 2 types of investors, those who want to be pure for support the project, and they want to make a profit and then move on. The developer must understand that because I always see things like this on the telegram of the project that just finished.

for some projects, as long as the team is still providing information /certainty/deadlines, and trying their best to develop product value, sometimes investors understand that. but, sometimes, the team also does not provide any information after the project is finished, sometimes it makes investors say a project is a scam.

i dont think they have difference  .  both of them does the act of buying and selling but there is only a slight difference i think and that is thier buying and selling time . trader tend to trasact more often that the investor  .

yes because its automatic that the tokens value is high and will go high in the future because the project is valueable   .

thats normal for a newbie to done those things  . even us we already experience that before when were a newbie on investing but it should be corrected later on

Some of the investors cannot be patient to wait for the project finish the jobs and got listed on the exchanges because they want to make fast money from the project like what they get in the past. But unfortunately, everything has changed, and they cannot get what they want because the market is at the bear market from 1 year ago and now, is still trying to back to normal again. So the investor needs to realize this, and they need to be patient for more if they invest in a project.

For me, it's not surprising at all, there are a lot of projects in the past or until now, where developer stops when it hit the market, some projects don't care at all if their coin is going down or losing its value, it is the job of the team to make their coin competitive in the market, because this is one of the parameters, investors are looking on a coin to invest.

We seldom see projects that offer buy-back option to protect their coins from dropping, it is recommended but developers are not allocating a portion of their sales.

If they don't want investors to lose trust in their project, they should give update to their supporters and investors in a timely manner, they have a timeline in their roadmap, they have to make sure that they always hit the deadline.

Is it because several of the new investors at this times wants to earn profits right away. All they think that cryptocurrency investment is an easy money scheme, but it is not like that easy, we are all here to face some instances on every business that has struggles and hardahip in all aspects, as well as bounty hunters complains that their token rewards are stagnant in a very low cost tokens, yet they cannot be patient enough to wait years for it to become profitable.

It all depends on the investor, if the investor invests in the long run, of course this will not be a problem, but the team must also update the latest information about the project so that investor confidence is maintained, especially since investors have been fooled by projects that run for one year but the results obtained did not match expectations.

have you ever been an investor in an ICO project recently?
every investor would have assessed the project before he invested in it.
investors have now lost confidence and only want quick profits.

A person who is complaining or judging a particular project so easily is most probably a person who is not knowledgeable at all. There is another case wherein the investor's trust to the current projects as well to the upcoming ones is greatly affected already due to his bad experiences before. Once they get scammed or deceived in any form, their mindset changes.
Hmm, I believe the majority will fall to the latter one. Well, you can't blame them because it's natural for an investor to earn on the shortest time possible. Like in business, of course business owners want to make profits as soon as possible in order to further maximize the ramaining resources and lessen the expenses. (e.g manpower etc.). Besides, it is very hard to believe to an uncertain thing. How sure you are that the project you believe in will succeed among the hundreds of projects who already existing in the market? You know what I mean :).

we can't avoid them either. because speculation has been around for a long time and investors only want to sell at high prices and withdraw from the project.
It seems that this has become cultural, so most businesses die or lose a lot of value after listing on exchange.

Investors expect fast growth from companies developments and fear of bear market make most of the projects fail but we should wait for right time for real time implementation of the project to run in market coins like eth and other coins like neo took lot of time

Honestly we do not blame many investors to judge quick the project because there are so many project that give their own coin and eventually will fall to the priceless coin and become a victim of so many scams. I don't think that patience is the key in every project. But I believe as a investor I need a clear opportunity and possibility to the coin to have an exchange value to have patience.

It is not automatic that when there is a bear market, the market easily fail.
Actually that depends on how we believe and see it, bear market is the season where the price is down, and even the legit or successful projects are affected with that, in fact even btc, so we can't say the project fail, if we think that way, maybe it's just who is gonna fail due to our lack of patience.

The market trend is now like what Vitalik predicted last year. He said there is possibility of not seeing +1000% increase of altcoins like we used to.  Most of the ICOs have had their time and had not fulfilled 25% their roadmap and the failure of use cases of most projects reduced the volume trade and consequently reduce price. Now their is demand for new project to venture early to build product while their get into market. I hope if this increases we could see general improvement in market and have more impact of the technology in our immediate community.

Nope not easy at all. Newbie who doesn't have better experience in different cryptos especially in those projects where they are interested in investing should have basic knowledge. If they don't atleast study about them.

Good projects are not a pumping dumping coin project it takes time to deliver your expectation. Success can not be achieved in somedays. Those who believes in the project certainly remain patient. One should give enough time to project to grow according to their roadmap. High expectations only frustrates and result in loss.

It is a sad fact that most investors do not care about the projects they invest in, all they care about is the potential to return profits, this isn't even limited to the little investors because even the institutional investors and advisors are guilty of it, when a project finishes conducting sales and are developing their platform instead of listing in an exchange after a month, you will see different kinds of negative talks in their groups.

I totally agree with this. Besides, those who are only interested in financial rewards don't always research the project they are investing in. They rush in and out of one project to another. They are most likely responsible for the dumping most newly listed coins on exchanges.

Well I guess when the market is matured, some or most of the crowdfunding problems will be put in check.

You can't stop those people to dump since what is important to them is to own BTC. Altcoins will be worthless to them.
The investors who actually believe on the project are trading to increase the number of tokens they hold. True believers of the project don't just hold, they tend to buy more it or trade to accumulate.

I feel i need to correct this wrong notion.The end goal of having belief in any project is to make sound returns from such investment..Its quite pathetic that most of this developers are actually ignorant/naive in their handling of market affairs..To crown it up they also fail to develop utility for their tokens, hence having zero demand and capitulating into poor market value.. Investors have the right to be annoyed...

Usually, the investors nowadays search fast profits, because the market is still down, and even if they believe in the project, it is still unsafe for them to hold the tokens for the long term. That's why so many ICO investors prefer to switch their tokens to solid cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

It is because of how devs promise how best they are going to let investors get a  lot of money. No one invest even a cent and expect something lower than that. If it is a long term investment project, it should be made clear to the people not to put their trust in it that it is going to give them money right after listing.
Projects these days just come in ones and go back so every one wants that time to come to sell and look for another project to invest in again.

Have you watched movies about stocks, silicon valley, investments, trading etc? if so you'd find out that many investors went in with their "guts" more and for the money buddy. Its been so for ages. so i don't totally blame investors.

Nothing to blame exactly, that is their games...playing it with guts is it looks effective to them and of course I'll stick to it.
That would be the responsibility of their team and the developer itself to show that they are good to trust and have a profitability market otherwise investors will skip them and look for another one. Investing is a money game, we'll have a choice.

I can conclude that only big investors are serious about an ICO / IEO project. The rest are mostly only small investors or people who are new to investing. And usually, people who are new to investing have not been mentally tested immediately panic when the investment decreases in value. And that is a natural thing because all is just a matter of profit.

psychologically, investors lately want direct or instant profits because the fall of the market last year made confidence decline slightly. so now with an investment in a good project, they will still consider it a scam if it is not immediately listed on the exchange.

You can't blame them because most of them are victims of projects that were abandoned after getting money from their investors. Though some are considered to be legit, but it doesn't assure that they will not be abandoned later on. If the dev team has no sufficient funds to proceed, most of them die down naturally. So how can you hodl a coin for long term even if they have good intentions but there are no resources to materialize their objectives?

In these situations, I think some investors want to make an immediate profit because they are not making the profit from a long time ago. Every time they invest in a project, it ends up by scamming or delay, or the project does not continue, so they feel desperate while some of them don't have much money. I still see some of my friends invest in some project, although I already tell them not to invest in the project which they don't believe that the project can grow in the future. I let them decide to make the final decision to invest or not, and I only advise them to be careful.

This is sad that most of them are after only for profit, they're not after with long term profit. I think 5% are the investors who are not just after with it, they are go with a long term. Well anyway, they are free to think whatever they want to say, but sometimes we shouldn't be like that honestly speaking.

at least that is the reality, many do not make money in a long time, even many have experienced fraudulent projects, so that their money is lost, so with the current IEO, those who are somewhat relieved, because they are able to make money back, but indeed many are not hold it in the long run. this is done perhaps to restore the psychology of those who have been damaged

If you look at the market, you can probably mention that holding won't bring you profit. Only people that have bought BTC for 3k are now having some additional cash, but there is no altcoin that have made x3 science 2018.

I wonder what most investors read about projects before jumping into it to invest. Why invest in a project you have read about and still complain within few months of progress without gaining any interest and start judging the projects with bad comments. Investors are supposed to read the projects whitepaper, know of the roadmap and follow accordingly than being impatient and quick in judging project.

People invest in order to raise bucks, and not to masturbate for years on the project price and wait for it to grow. Many developers hammer a dick on a project over time and waiting for the price to rise is silly.
That is why investors do not want to wait long and they are interested in quick profits. If you want to wait a long time - wait, but do not force others.

We can't control investors also they risk their money on investing in some projects
the best we can do is to encourage them to stay, also this is the job of the campaign managers and
head of the project the project to prove to them that their money is really will get profit in the
long run since what we really want is to take profit as an investors
we can't blame them, specially they saw a lot of scam projects before

We are dealing with humans that are emotionless, and we are dealing with humans that has series of needs on a daily basis, and they want to do everything possible to quickly make money that will enable them meet up with those pressing needs at any point in time with a quick money, so I must tell you that majority of people, you see invest in all these altcoins are investing for a quick profit and none of them cares about the project, they don’t even sometimes knows what the project product is, and all they care more about is actually the profit that they can get from it.

This is why you see a lot of projects collapsing now, because the moment that they hit an exchange, majority of the investors has already placed a sell order down when it reaches a certain point which gets executed at exactly that and they are satisfied with it, go away and never come back.

This is true for almost all people in the crypto community, they easily get impatient with projects that don't deliver good results in terms of ROI. But they don't understand that these projects take time to explode so it's good to invest in quality coins (https://www.contentos.io/?utm_source=lx) that has their strategic investors help them by extending the lockup of their tokens for the long-term development of the project. Bitcoin didn't go to thousands right away, it definitely took a long time and had a lot of doubters.

Simply put - Investors are like the electorate. We are always eager and anxious to see our elected officials churn out results as soon as we vote them into elective positions. What is there to dilly dally for again? Campaigns and electioneering are over just like ICOs are, we want the promises fulfilled. So, don't blame any anxious investors because they want the promised ROI as soon as possible.

Too quickly sell coins and want profit results quickly. Of course, this will make the project difficult to develop. New investors should have patience and they should read the Roadmap project. So know that this project has a developer that keeps working. So if the project has a large volume, of course, you do trade will be very easy and make a profit.

One of the reasons why investors could appear impatient is as a result of what has been happening in the industry. We hear stories of developers abandoning the project and dumping on the investors. This is quite unfair as it discourages other investors from holding for long term.

Your opinion is okay to you. The destiny of any project relays on the hands of investors. if you can convince your investors to trust your project Now and den. believe me, you project will last. No matter how good your project is, if you failed to convince the community behind the project and investors, your project will dissappear within seconds. i have seen great projects dissppear just because developers choose to work silently without passing out informations and Updates.

Update everyone with your current status. progress made and disappointment and the rest. it is a good marketing strategy. 

I agree all coins suffer from dumping and crashing of prices, but if the project is good it will pass the test of time, you cannot expect some investors to be patient and wait for the price to increase.
This is the real scenario in the crypto world, it's a big gamble but the pay is great if you wait for the project to move and wait for the price to increase.

Some of tokens or altcoins indeed cannot be profitable for instantly and it took time to get the best price to sold and get decent profit so hold those tokens might be good option to do so but we cannot force people to hold their tokens because some of them are more likely want short term profit and don't have more patience to wait and they will judge early the projects failure so all of it back again from the investors habit themself

Yes indeed, that is right there are a lot of impatient investors. Generally speaking, it happens because they want to earn money very quickly. Sometimes it can be successful, but true investors have to be patient while investing, these kinds of investors know good projects sometimes can take a long time. Thinking long term has a positive return on the investment if the investor made the right choice unless the scam projects appear and steal from us. Quick money making illness spread all the crypto world and the quick result seekers have the same end. Failed investors can confirm this if you can ask these questions after the end of the bull market. Human psychology also has gaps which can be observed with small market research.

This problem will continue to happen and happen only because most of these investors are not ready to learn. Why choose to be an investor if you are not ready to learn. These investors find it difficult to ascertain and know whether the project they are investing in is going to bring short or long term profit and if it happens the other way round, they become impatient and quick judging the project negatively.

Most of them want instant gratification, which most times, make them to made some unimaginable decisions. They are the type that dump their tokens below  ICO price, after lodging so many compliant. They are the ones that keep asking "when exchange". They will never bother themselves on what happens to the product, because of their lack of understanding on how proper crypto project should be run .

Investment is not just about pushing your money or resources into a project and right away getting profit. Most investors are getting it wrong from this angle as to whether the project they are investing in is a long term or short term investment project. If it turns out to be a long term project whereby the investor thought of short term then it leads to quick judgement and ill saying about the project which is a bad habit on part of some investors.

You are saying everything correctly, but the community has simply been deceived many times and therefore many investors do not believe in the success of the project if their tokens need to be held for too long.

They are investors and no investors would dump their tokens at below ICO price, that doesn't make sense at all, no one would invest to lost actually.
Maybe you are talking about the bounty hunters, they usually are the ones who like to have the tokens in exchanges the soonest so they can dump, and they don't care about the ICO price as much as the investors cared.

I know some of the investors already knew about this, they are waiting for the bounty hunters to dump their tokens so they can have the opportunity to buy cheap, most of the type, they are also FUDDING so the price will become lower and lower and that will give them the cheapest price to accumulate.

Yes. ICO projects are very different nowadays since most of them have already end up being scams. So we cannot blame those investors who are becoming impatient once their tokens will not be released in the promised date because chances are they were fooled again. Although there are still good projects that are paying well today but we cannot deny too that scam projects are also becoming rampant these days.

Most people say investors are impatient and too quick in judging projects but I will say new investors are the one who are impatient and quick in judging new projects since they do not have the time to research these projects and learn what the project is up to in every phase of their roadmap but instead start blaming asn say bad comment about these projects when they see their profits delaying. 

The problem is that we are also dealing with a different demographic. Back in the day you would look at investments as long term pension plans and invest over the course of ten or twenty years minimum. Now you have a lot of the get rich quick kids on the Internet who are doing everything they can to just flip coins, scam or just badger the admins of start up projects to hurry up and make a project work so they can sell off their coins in order to move to their next kill. There is no loyalty factor in this Industry for the most part which is causing the problems. Social media and Telegram also have made the problem worse as well.

We cant really get rid into these scammers mindset yet we know that this crypto market do involved multi millions of dollars which someone can make out millions with minimal way of making their own coin since its still on the hype then the job gets easier.

Social media and other messaging platform isn't right to be blamed yet this places would be the most common to be used when it comes to exposure yet we know on how many people or users been on this platforms.

Every project needs time to develop, but a solid project cannot afford to decrease its price by 70 percent from the token sale level. It is unacceptable for the most investors and I cannot blame them for complains after such results.

99% investors and bounty hunters don't want to HODL, they want quick listing and quickly dump tokens or coins for quick profits of cos, only few people invest and hodl tokens for long term sakes nowadays and infact many are on here for quick profit to sustain themselves so i don't blame them either.

On the other hand, no one forced these investors to buy an asset that caused big losses. Investors themselves create such conditions when it becomes possible to list unsecured assets on exchanges.

No they are not really judgemental they join to gain profit
believe 90% of the people who join in that project is just there
to buy token wait for it to be listed, pump the price and make other small time investors to take the bait waiting for the right  moment
once they hook up, they will dump the coin, sell all their holding and youre right move on that is really the reality of it,
well we can't blame them thats really is happening in every project even in bitcoin it happens everytime, everyone loves money

Believe me, most investors would like to hold their coins for a long time, but the market of cryptocurrencies can move so quickly that it is impossible to do so especially when we are talking about new coins, you are ignoring how quickly a coin can lose its value, and as such investors have no other option but to act as quickly in the event that a coin in which they are invested begins to crash.

So I do not agree with you, investors have to move as fast as they can when a good coin begins to go down in value and if that means that some coins do not achieve the potential that they could reach then so be it, an investor is not putting his money at risk just because he believes in a project he wants to profit from it and if he cannot do that he is in all his right to sell his coins as soon as he can.

Would have been great if its as easy as you said, its not easy to lose money to projects and we have too many shady projects in crypto space, i don't blame investors who are complaining or too impatience, many are already in loss but if they don't back down they will reap rewards for their hardwork one day

I also think that if you invested in a project, then you have chosen it as a promising one and you need to wait for the result. But as practice shows, some of the investors do not study projects, but simply invest left and right, and then when there is no result, they are surprised that everything is bad, and the project turned out to be a scam. This is the way out or you take all the risks on yourself and understand that you can lose, or simply not invest.

There are lots of factors contributing to the investors mixed feelings about any project especially when it value falls below 75% of the ico value.

Most investors that often buys into a project ico are already used to the traditional stock exchange and 50% reductions in share price simply means that the company is having problem and might fold up.

Most ICO project often have road map which investors expects them to maintain and follow truthfully.

Above all, people invest in any project for profits and will surely be unhappy if they did not see the expected profits within 12 months after the end of the ico.

Well, this is a difficult answer to give nut nvestors are impatient and too quick to judge projects. Probably, they have waited for a particular project for so long and this has kept them in suspense whereby you can lose your earnings..

It's because the crypto market is at very early stages. Price of bitcoin moves so much and investors in the crypto market already have a habit to get quick gain or quick loss. Real investors aka big players of the market are not impatient look at the big names of crypto industry Roger Ver Tim draper & other big investors holding bitcoin for over 5 years. Uneducated people who want to get rich overnight invested their all the money and trying to get out as soon as possible.

If you check people like Roger Ver invested bitcoin at very early stages still holding big amount of coins when bitcoin is at over $10000. So, in my opinion, small investors are impatient which is natural. I don't blame them because they are mostly uneducated and lazy people who want to earn millions in minutes.

I think that is a natural thing, where investors certainly really want a greater return and profit is one of them. Not because investors do not trust the project, because I think every investor must have observed a number of projects that they think have the potential to be invested but I think they complain when what they think doesn't match what happened and they just want to express something that makes them want to share with us about what they experienced.

This is all the effect of the last crypto bull. People realized crypto is a way to get overnight riches. And it was true for months. Whatever coin people bought doubled within a few days making heaps of profit. Many people jumped into crypto just for quick profit. They never tried to realize that crypto needs to gain it's price through use or service.
Projects raises a funds so that they may deliver effectively for a later time but people wants a profit just after the end of the ICO.

I have seen this happening to projects on many occasions and it does not always end well. In most cases, the team are forced to alter their roadmap just to pleas the investors and the nagging community. Even before the end of IEO/ICO, with little capital raised, a lot of questions will keep popping up as regard exchange listing; for instance, "when exchange?" "when listing?" "when listing on second exchange?" without giving the team time to develop their products. All these so that these investors can cash out as soon as possible and move on to next available project.

Its their fault to invest in something in the early stage and then don't have the patience to hold and wait until profits come.If they are big investors and there are no returns what so ever then the project has a problem and probably won't deliver the expected profits. All of this caused ICO's,IEO's , STO's to facing a decline of investors and nowadays 70-85% of them won't even gather the soft cap in order to start the project.

Personally I don't like to put my money into new projects because the bull run is not so far away so why risk hold a coin 3years from now to get nice profit when you already have good projects with working tech and a history behind them who could bring you big profits in 1.5 years. Investors are not fools, they are just sick of ICO's and dead bounce projects. Maybe some of you can learn from this and you will stop investing into low quality projects or , keep playing the lottery maybe you'll find the lucky one.

That's the problem. All people want to quickly sell tokens and get their profits, so everyone demands that the project appears on the exchange as soon as possible.

You guys must not blame the investors but the team must adapt with the current market while so many short term investors in the market. This is a must with a few million dollars of money at least to provide a good exchange site is enough rather than put that coin to the shitscam exchange site.
if that coin was showing a good performance at first listing and investors will keep to hold it.

This is because people do not invest based on the project but rather their greed. Same with bounty hunters. They see the price per token and think they will be rich. It is not what the token is worth only after a few months will you get the tokens true value and by then these kinds of people will have sold which is very silly since they could end up shooting themselves in the foot. Rather look at the current price and if you want out then bail out but only if the loss is minimum, remember you invested for a reason so stay and hold your cards be patient. Poker face.

Its sometimes good to be impatient when money is involved but investors getting impatient and being quick in judging projects is far way beyond limit since most of these investors are not ready to learn to ascertain whether the project they are investing in calls for either short or long term investment plan, they just run into any project sake of early bird bonus and later when things are not going as expected, they begin to judge and say ill comments about these projects.

How to be impatient investor without have good news when coin listing or not, an investor not quick judge of project because they have waiting from pre sale until sale ended and dev is not have ideas and planning when their coin listing on exchange market, what about you as investor but you have waiting about one year for listing coin.

There is two type of investors always here explain short time and long time, do you think short time investor want profitable of quickly and they do not want agree waiting and holding. But long time investor want more time waiting for making profitable.

Most have the same intentions regarding to investing with projects that they've did not fully supporting, they just wanted to have that so called bonus and dumped the coin after reaching the exchange. There's no plans just to take the chance and grab opportunities once they've seen some value, there's no longer a real supporters but most are just aiming for quick benefits. The project being judge not because of  usage but because of value after reaching the exchange.

but it doesnt mean you must hold all of your coin until 8 years. there are many type of investor like what you said before. and sometime i use all method depend on how good they are or how i think to not believe that they can be good in a future. and mostly i keep it until some month or until it can be sold.
investor complain cause they are tricked, and have many bad experience.

Usually others main goal of some investors is to earn quick profit, but they did not think clearly that a projects need time for development. Easy for them to judge projects indeed but let’s take a note some doesn’t want to lose money of what they invested for. There are good projects and we cannot hold it too long in our wallet that we cannot enjoy the profit that we must have. So many scam literally, however some investors judge easily the project due to other project ended up losing value and they learned a lesson from it.

There is a lot of reason they are judging the project as a scam if they don't make any update and announcement on what's going on. I would say that I have joined a lot of projects and some are doing exit-scam after they gain a lot of money from investors.

It is really hard to find a good nowadays and we will just depend on the progress from what they are doing for us investors believe.

Not all investors that are found with such but most of them are just with the project because they presume that, the project may be successful on the long run. Most investors 80% are just those that invest on projects without carrying out thorough research into the project they intend to invest. Impatience is one major problem we have among investors, it should be discourage.

Personally, i'm that type that can judge a project from the very first time I set to invest on it. My actions are from my previous scams projects that almost caused me my savings. Now, I take out some reasonable time to investigate a project that am interested to invest. For those projects I have invested in so far, are good projects and, am waiting for them to succeed.

The sad truth is that investors are after the money. Most don't care about ideas, at least not when it comes whether or not they can actually improve the world in some way. Their interest ends at 'will this make me a lot of money or not?' Granted, there are lots of bad projects that may look good at first, but that doesn't change much

Just look at the products they run I see from that side, if their products are many users then I believe their tokens will go up or partner with well-known companies but that also takes time but I'm sure their products are smooth so the future will be better.

Of course there are differences between the two investors, but what we must understand is investing in the short term, surely the benefits will not be large and the risk is also small, if the investor makes an investment in the long run, the potential for profits will be large, but the risk of loss is also likely big, so this is what is always feared by many investors, and they must always understand about the risks in investing.

The opposite argument can be true as well. Rather than blaming the investors, I think you should first ask some questions to the ICO team and the promoters. Why do they always go for the listing even before the initial phase of development is complete? The most common excuse is that they need the funds for the development. But in my opinion, if someone wants to create the project, then he should be ready to invest his own savings, at least for the first phase of the development work. Most of the promoters don't want to do that and would like to transfer 100% of the burden to the investors. And the second question is why they always refrain from using the escrow to store their funds. If they use a trusted escrow, then it can give a lot of confidence to the investors, as they know that these guys are not going to run away after taking all the money.

The problem here is that 10% of those who said they will developed the project isn't really developing the project. Are you familiar with Github? If they really developing and improving it, they can upload development in their github source. Most people checked there too see if devs are really working for the project or not. I can see that only few projects are true to themselves so I cannot blame these people judging maybe they are really frustrated or already know the tactics of the project.

Crypto is very shady, you will get paid from those projects you least expected and those projects you think are the best will perform worst, i expected too much from projects like dipchain, x-block, Noia, Songin and till this day i never receive any rewards from them, instead projects like localcoin, blockbuster, carry protocol are the ones that paid of which i don't expect any from them

And why should this be any different? Investor by definition wants projects that give profit.

And this is the sole reason I always look for projects, in crypto anyway, that has supporters and fans, and users. Not so much investors as those are easier to find (money is no object for a lot of people) but when the going gets tough they stream out fast.

Maybe all crypto investors are speculators.

Yes indeed, that's why investors are selling their investment immediately after it entered the market. But having these done will only put not only the project but also the investors itself to failure. Without helping each other for the progress and improvement of the project, and losing the support from the community, there's no wonder that the project itself will fail.

That's right, according to the idea, this is what you need to do, if you are investing in some project, it means that you believe in it and count on long-term profit, so you should not rush to sell your tokens very quickly, but many investors make investments in new projects in order to get a quick profit and they should not be blamed for it, because each investor has his own strategy and plans.

Many types of investors, there are holding for the long term and waiting for the product to be finished and there are types of investors who are trying to find for the short term. I think this is normal because we cannot dictate the market or investors. If the project is good, I don't think we need to worry

A quick investment strategy is now much more profitable and profitable than a simple coin hold strategy. Coin Hold is not working yet. From my own experience, the hold reduced my wallet by 2 times in 2019.
But in any case, everything is not necessary to merge into minus. To get free funds and try to invest in something new and fast growing.

Maybe those investors are frustated with crypto projects because lately most of projects are scam.
And you're also right that many of crypto investors want a fast profit and leave, they mostly cannot divide between investing and trading

It is true that they are just frustrated and they have a less trust to give to the cryptocurrency projects since most of their investment are from projects that sound good but after the crowd funding they all just slack off and the project slowly dies. Today, it is better for the projects to do some work first so they can really justify their words when they are talking to the investors.

It is impossible to find the legit project before ICO/IEO their promotion seems to be very active but when it comes to reality it is impossible to find their developments. During their fundraising stage they will attend lots of conferences in order to get more awareness and once after raising enough money they are very silent without any product development.

Actually we cannot blame and draw unilateral conclusions. The market is not conducive. All those involved with cryptocurrency, whether miners, traders, investors, bounty hunters, are faced with a very difficult time. Opportunities are getting smaller, many scamer, and other unfavorable circumstances. So, to cover up the drought, if there is an opportunity to get the slightest profit it will surely be pursued and tried as much as possible. Instead of being in a hurry, there are also many needs that must be met.

Investor is not fault with judge an ICO project because they can't waiting for long time get profit with ICOs investment project, after buying on pre sale they have waiting more than two months and more do not the same with road map planning for selling their ICO coin and want to judge an ICO owner, because they want get back their money.

it is not easy to get profit in investing in new projects, new projects must have excellent and real features so that they can compete while projects that miss features will be unable to compete. better to invest in BTC, BTC has proven to have high prices look at price growth in the buying market when prices go down and sell when prices go up.

I think investros changed since the bull market most ICOs had brought quick income for investors. And this suddenly changed when the bear market started, most ICOs had to close their project, some who had a good ICO had a hard time developing due to lack of funds. Investors became impatient because they had a mentality that investing in ICOs can bring them good instant income. Some investors do not intend to support the real cause of the project. They just want to get out early to get some income.

In my own personal opinion, investors became impatient because they are now getting scared to take some risk in projects which they believe that it is successful, but it turns out to be a scam or the coin will don't have a good value, that is why investors is starting to judge a lot of projects nowadays because they didn't receive any good profit from it.

That does obviously have the affect to the market psychological as well as investors' but it's still improper to be really impatience and demanding fast profit. all these projects aren't quick cash that could make you rich overnight everything needs process. Although there might be many garbage project out there but there still some of good projects that deliver what it promised.
If the investors are just there to dump their token at the distribution date then I assume the project's token will be done for thus lacking the fund making realization or execution of the idea harder.

Most of the projects needs a longer period to be able to deliver, while majority of the investors wants instant result, that's is the difference now because people are thinking that a project is already successful when it pump during its first day of trade in an exchange which is a wrong mentality.

If we look on a good project that will deliver in the long run, we should be willing to hold and always understands the market situation.
Like for almost 2 years, the market is still dry, altcoins are in drought so we didn't witness a good rise that we are expecting, but despite of that, we still have to believe that this market will continue to bloom and good projects will eventually rise at the right time.

The problem is not the patient, but the results that teams are providing after a certain period of time. Unfortunately, if they fail to keep the price stable after the token sale, it is very unlikely that a fresh coin would ever recover from the bottom.

Most of the newbie investors are investing not because they believe in the project but because they believe that they can double or multiply their investment after the tokens that they brought will hit the exchange.

Because of this kind of mindset, most of the coins price will go down immediately upon reaching the exchange. Even if 60% of the investors will know the term of HODL, I am sure that any project that they will support will continue to grow especially it's price even after listing.

The essence of investing is the income that the investor receives for his trust in the project in which he invests.
Investors invest in the project, which gives the project the opportunity to develop, having achieved success, the project, as it were, repays the debt to the investor through profit.

However, when projects stand still and do not fulfill their promises, postpone listing, cannot decide with the exchange or choose a bad one and so on, all this, of course, annoys any investor, no matter how much he loves the project.

Therefore, before investing, you always need to think carefully and study all the possible factors and risks.
If we do not invest in unreliable projects, they will not be.

I do understand what OP is trying to point out. But I think we really cannot blame those who are losing their patience from their project investments since they are expecting for profit which is normal when you have invested for something. It is really a waiting gsme but waiting for too long kills the profit itself. What do I mean? The time an investor have put waiting for the profit is being wasted along with the money they have invested in to those project rather than earning profit if they would be able to invest the expected "net" from their engagements. Projects nowadays are just really hard to predict because most of it are failing.

In the business world, a professional investor can predict and assess a good project or not in the future. it is natural that investors can assess the project in a fast time.

Being impatient when its an issue concerning money is very okay to me because everybody works hard to earn their money but when its related to projects and investors, I think there is nothing good to talk about since these investors are not ready to learn to determine the future of the projects they invest in, they only go for hype and when the project is not doing a expected by them, they start to judge the project. It is time investors sit down and read projects whitepaper, know their roadmap and come to the knowledge of understanding whether the project is a short or long term investment project and make a decision on that rather than following hype and being quick in judging projects.

If you bought a token and you are thinking of yourself as real investor that need to wait a long time in order for business to generate a profit, let me tell you that you are deluded ! you have only a token that gives no right in that business, and only way for you to make a money is by selling those on exchange as a trader. The project that takes your real money for exchange of tokens and didn't do real effort by paying money to get listed immediately on a proper exchange is a scam and if you wait for them to deliver the product you will end up on loser's side. Just do a diligent search and see what happened to those who did what you are suggesting. They lost their investment and it's worth nothing now. The real winners were those who acted quickly.

they always think that the price will go to the moon after it got listed in the exchange. We should change that perception because cryptocurrency is no a quick rich scheme. The market has cycle so we should expect that the price is not always going down.

This Impatient is the worst thing that will bring a vast loss to you, You have to take a proper decision after scrutinising very carefully about any project, I think When you've taken a step towards anything then you don't have too much to come back from there so it needs to be ensured that your projection and target ICO or IEO is not a scam or something like this, that's why think twice before taking any decision. you can blame them when you see the bad thing but you can't claim anything when you lost your capital, One thing is very important that people think that this ICO or IEO is the profit-making mechanism, their expectation is too high, they think the price is going to hit a double or triple very soon, that's why they are too impatient to judge a project.

Don't compare now with 2016/2017, at that time investors make better profits from ICO projects and lack of exposure to scammers  makes it scam free at that time but things change drastically when bear market took over and more scammers find their way into crypto space, we really can't blame investors cos its not east to lose money to scammers

The bottom line is that most of the crypto investors are not professional ones. They don't make their own due dilligence and allocate their portfolio as a professional would do. Most of them just look for opportunities where they can make a fast buck, not invest for the long term. That's why the so called "ICO bonuses" had so much success that the token quickly dumped as soon as it hit the exchange. That's why projects should not offer more than 10% bonus for early investors because at the end of the day if the token economy and business model has potential the value will raise accordingly.

Its not totally scam free in that year, there's a lot of good campaign that year which becomes the reason why the trend regarding bounty campaigns increases. after it makes a name for almost a year, scam campaigns emerge in this forum like a mushroom. The year before, we can rarely seen a scam campaign, most of the campaigns were build before become a solid project and have a good reputation these days.

that is if they are short term investors , yes they will demand and complain if things are slow moving   . sometimes short term investors makes mistakes and invest on the projects that supposed to be for longer terms like for example ico's  .

  these kind of investor should only invest on the real short term investments like cryptos since they dont like waiting the most  . in that way they can see instant results  .

the problem is that the projects themselves began to disrespect the participants in the bounty campaigns. they are not interested in the reputation on the forum and they can afford to change the dates of  payments / not pay or pay 10 times less than they promise

You are right if you are saying for long term investment. we should not be panic in small decreases and follow the project and wait patiently. But such things remain in the background for short-term investment or daily trading. Coin's technical analysis is more important than its project and team for daily trading and short term investment.
