Is it true that if altcoin season starts many projects will be forced to launch just to take advantage of the green market? There are some projects that failed to launch since 2019 I heard and some said that in 2017 many projects start rushing to take advantage of the market, how true is this?

True and always have so many every scam or not seriously project will be always taking an opportunity from the hype! like Cryptocurrency Section, ICO Hype, IEO Hype, Lending & Ponzi Hype on 2017, and now DeFi market. You always meet every project who only want to take advantage of selling a craps token from the sale, not a really serious project.

It's your responsibility to make due diligence about the project before entering your money into investment/trading, always use due diliginecy never trusted a promise word, shilling from an influencer or maybe your friend.

This is perfectly reasonable. Projects have failed in previous years because they lacked the money to operate the project, and now is definitely a good time for them to raise funds and develop the project.
Bull run makes the crowd often suffer from Fomo mentality, so new projects with full info and promising roadmap will be very welcome at the present time. It's pretty much like the ICO projects of 2017, huge money is always poured into new projects uncontrollably.

Many new projects have used bear market & COV19 to lied that they can't launch their project, this have shown their true color if you are smart enough, they can't be trusted because it costs nothing to launch crypto projects this days no matter what the condition might be, crypto projects don't need offices or gatherings, developers can stay at homes and work, if such projects launched now because of the altcoin season don't hesitate to take advantage and forget the project, they won't do any good once bullrun is over

Of course when FOMO appears, many projects try to take advantage.

I will paid attention to first TOP 10-TOP 20 altcoins and try to invest on them when a great correction happens in the next days.

They will come, but even when they rush it they might be late because i am pretty sure that most of them weren't prepared for next wave. And now they have white paper to write, graphics to make, team to gather and possibly even code to write. I am guessing that most of them lost all hope in crypto investors after the ico craze faded and didn't think the history would repeat itself.

They are probably still in denial thinking that this will crash before they get in. Even though this bullrun has just started and could take over year to finish.

Yes they will rush things up just to take advantage of the bull market but have it in your mind that these type of projects have untrustworthy teams, if you get tokens from them one way or the other you must sell them or else huge dump will follow once the bull market gets hijacked by bears

You correctly noticed, really worthwhile projects do not appear so often, just as the market grows, there are more scammers who want to make quick money be especially careful at times like this.

That's true. As far as i know that the majority of developers were believing when they were launching their project when the bullish trend is still happening and their coins can get instant pump too.
I have seen that thing so many times when the projects were trying to delay the launch of their platform until the bullish trend happened.
This is not a strong point but they forger if their product will become a thing that will determine everything.  

IMO, I believe it is true many project developers have seen that the Bullish market is a good entry for their project. Because it may create positive traction to their token and that was the same happen in 2017 many projects are rushing to list their token in exchange because of that particular reason. But the results are many will gain some value and survive the "longest Bearish Market in 2018" while others didn't make it and eventually died in the process so take some precaution while investing with those "rush kind" of projects.

Many new projects haven't launch their projects due to the pandemic that hit the world in March 2020 but is this enough reason to put an halt on a project? I don't completely accept this, since the pandemic started many new projects still get launched, if those project that get launched can do it why can't other new project do the same thing? This is a lame excuse and such projects shouldn't be trusted

That's right, a lot of old projects have come back since 2018 and 2019, before they were short of funds for their projects and it's true the altcoin season and they come back to continue their projects, I hope investors are not in a hurry to put their money into their projects, which when taking advantage of the hype, one should be more careful in selecting projects

I have the same feeling or maybe it has happened this time especially with old projects that have died they have been revived to attract the market sensation especially using HYPE Defi, then there are also projects in the previous year that stopped and continued to raise funds today, and there are still many unexpected things in the crypto currency market. you need to watch carefully and also be alert.

Yes, that is absolutely true. It's a time like that we get to see so many scam projects launching in the market and taking advantage of naive investors. Almost all penny tokens will give a good ROI. I saw that happen in 2017, and it won't be any different once the altcoin bull sets in. However, I don't foresee a bull run for altcoins before the end of 2020. It should come in 2021 and I look forward to it. Investors should be very careful at a time like this to avoid getting hoodwinked.

For me the probability of being true is much higher because they learn from the history wherein a lot of projects became successful when they launch it while the market is in bull run. Those are the golden opportunities wherein a lot of projects became x50 and more for just weeks. Altcoins are about to blow so be prepared because alts season are coming. Look at the projects nowadays where they are having competition and chasing with each other because they are aware that their success will have a high probability because there is a emotion which is greed in the whole market.

Even though the alts season is coming, always be caveat because we are not from the future where losses is inevitable even the market is in uptrend. If we will manage our risk very well then for sure we can prevent to suffer in huge losses and see the opportunities in the market.

Yep, It is true. Altcoin session will create Euphoria, This gives space for the project as an initiative to enlarge its attractiveness metrics.
There will be many projects launched only to target investors' money, leading to scams.
Coin scams can use a striking website display and/or boast of their large community to create an effect so that other people feel afraid if they miss the moment.

Yes many projects did same thing in 2017 and they later exit scam or turned worthless after few months in 2018, if you are a bounty hunter and waiting for a promoted project to launch well it might worth the wait but do not believe the project because they have degrade their credibility this way, why must they wait for good market to launch?

It`s a very big disadvantage of the bullish market, because there are many projects which can die after green market and many investors will lose their money, so every newbie especially that, who joins crypto, when it`s growing, should to be careful with the investments. Old coins can go back in some years, but scam projects, who were created only to get some money won`t do it 

I don't think like that, seeing from the bullish track record 2 years ago (2017). I believe that investors are much more mature now and know how to invest in these market situations. but still there are still some newbies who get scammed or rugpulls projects. but at least investors in bullrun this time are better and can differentiate a project

By the time their project launch, the hype is over.
Yeah, some foolish ones may do so thinking he could abuse the market but it may not.
If I am an altcoin investor I'd rather stay with what in front of me rather than switching to something new without certainty.

Launch + time + amount to spend will be wasted if suddenly the market falls again.

That is true. Once the market is green, it attracts a lot of attention and some of those attentions comes from dead projects whose team will come up with an idea to revive the project, but in reality they are only up because they want to take part of the growth and make their own money. They will surly start coming up and any project doing that should be avoided or studied with extreme carefulness, because for the fact it failed the first time, there is no guarantee that it won't fail again. Also, this situation happened as well during the DeFi early stage, wherein most projects started adding Defi features just to attract investors and today, what's their fate.
On the other hand, not only dead projects, but new projects will also start coming up, and when looked properly, they won't have anything good to offer other than to just follow the hype and so on. Lastly, there is need to be careful of most projects both old and upcoming, especially during this forthcoming altcoin season.

It's possible, I've promoted projects like Dain.ai and ez365, till date they keep postponing their launch dates and there are few others that refused to launch like Bitwings, maybe if altcoin season starts showing big signs the projects will launched but such projects can't be relied on, this means they can't keep the project alive if bears take over the market

Well, that is true. Many projects take advantage of the green market and follow the hype to pumping their token sales. For example the last hype on Defi, there are plenty of projects had launched with their sales wich the projects itself don't have any real utilities nor have a solid foundation behind but still successful to achieve their max cap sales.

Yeah it's true.Most altcoin projects are scam and just try to take advantage of market and new people who try to invest because of hype ends up taking loss.People investing shouldn't carelessly invest in ICOs and should investigate how is project's team, when are they launching etc.

Yes many team will start rushing their projects to take advantage of the bull market but it also shows how weak the team are, if there is no bull market will they decide never to launch their projects? Such team can't be trusted, if I find myself in such projects I will ride along and take advantage too cos there is a possibility that after bull is done the projects will stop functioning

actually they are not in a hurry but indeed they are using fomo for their own benefit and if you correct more deeply many of them are not legitimate

This is true, but it happens only in small numbers and not all projects will. I have seen fomo projects following the uptrend of the market to enter this market, and those projects are very short-lived.

Even it is not altcoins season dude, there are a lot of projects campaign that arise now even up to the present, particularly if altcoin season really come back and for sure scammers or scam project will become rampant.

I think the bigger issue here is that of fundraising. I would argue that most ICOs and IEOs are likely scams. Many teams build without taking funds directly from the public, they build then launch a crypto or if they need funding, they reach out to VC. I only invest in cryptos that are mineable and have no premine, like 0xMR. That way the devs can't dump on me, VC can't dump on me, presale ICO investors can't dump on me, and exchanges that host IEOs can't dump on me. I only invest in cryptos with a fair distribution like 0xMR and I've saved myself a lot of money, time, and heartache doing that.

Because if those projects do not follow the uptrend of the altcoin, it will be very difficult for it to be launched. What I can see from such projects is that they only have enough operating money and no capital or little capital to thrive. So it is easy to understand why there are projects that lose 99% of their value and consider them dead.

Yes this is true unfortunately.
Many will rush to catch the price action, and most if not all will fail to deliver and have bad consequences. So be careful, i bought many altcoins in 2017 which seemed promising, and are now worth nothing

It is very common practice, there is no rocket science about it, once the enviroment is very conduceive you will see new project spranging up from different angle, everyone wants to take advantage of the market to make quick profit while it last, back in 2017 there were many project that where created soley for that purpose, it is letf for individuals to take note and observe properly to identify such project.

Right, the green light is the right time to raise funds, very many projects are born prematurely just to take advantage of the hype. You should really pay attention to every project that has just been launched, because scammers will always be looking for ways to get money quickly. Remember, good projects will not appear hastily.

Yes, that is true. But many projects doesn't mean all project will increase and get the advantage of the bull run.
Maybe the project which is at the top 100 will increase in the altcoin season, but that is only a prediction from people.
You should search for that project by yourself, so you will know what project you should invest in before the price of that coin or token increases.
Many new projects in 2017 rushing to take advantage of the bull run, but that project can not survive after the 2017 moment was the end, and now, that project does not have a chance to increase back.
So you need to be careful to choose the project, make sure that you already research to find the project, and don't use too big money if you don't have much info about that.
You can also get a scam project because the scammers will use that moment to launch their project too.

Bad projects use crypto market conditions to their own advantage, they aren't so confident that their project will be successful, all they can do is wait for an opportunity but little did they know that they've let their investors down and also lower their own credibility too, such project will only receive dump after the tokens are listed because people won't trust them

they dont need to wait for alt season because at normal times theres still a project that is created daily but altcoin season or if theres a new trend will make those coin creators motivated to make a coin  .

take a look at defi , when it came out there are projects that named defi on it  . being motivated is good because they will not postponed the project after they gather funds from the investor and there will be less scam supposed to be but the worst thing still happens  .

It is indeed true dude, actually even until now it is still happening here in crypto space whether here in bitcointalk, bitcoingarden, altcointalks,
cryptotalk and Vitalik forum they are rushing because they new that there is a lot of money they could from them via campaign projects that will arise in cryptocurrency business.

In my opinion, not all projects are launched in a hurry to take advantage of the green market, although there are also projects launched by taking advantage of the market, not all are successful because now investors have learned from experience and know which ones are good ones to invest in new projects

I think that this is a treu idea because many altcoins that hit the market in the end of 2017 ( Regardless the idea of the project) had a good chart and at least their price didnt go under the ico price

It is also true that after the ICO bomming in 2017, new ICOs emerged with different concepts and in the end they ended up with fraud through raising ICO funds only for their personal interests. as time went on, there were IEOs, ITOs, and currently DEFI. be wise before investing in any kind of project!

Yes, and after that many Altcoins died because in the following year there were many projects that experienced a scam after the tokens were launched to the market by the team, but Altcoins that were born in 2017 also died, only very few in number, only one percent of one hundred percent

in my opinion for now, not all projects will be successful, because investors start to analyze carefully before investing in new projects (this happens because many new projects are scam) and of course only good projects will be successful, then for now investors are more interested to investing in projects that already have a product and progress (including myself) and that causes many new projects to fail, so I am sure that even though the crypto market is green (bull run) and many new projects are taking advantage of the moment, but I think still not all projects will be successful and only good projects will be successful (I think only 10-20% of new projects will be successful).

projects that in 2017 were indeed fake, even many investors lost their funds,
even successful projects in 2017 did not last long even the projects disappeared,
and for this year investors are more careful in investing their funds.

Now we see a picture very similar to the one that was 2 years ago. EXACTLY 2 years ago - December 2018, bitcoin flies for 18,000, after which ... abruptly went to the bottom, pulling all the altcoins with it. Now the situation is aggravated by the fact that the financial market is on the verge of another crisis, and we must also understand that we have not yet fully felt the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic. How asset holders and speculators will react to this is very difficult to say.
PS. Today, Bitcoin has dropped sharply by $ 2,000, in 12 hours by more than 10% ... And not smoothly, but like an avalanche

that is pretty normal. look at in 2017. ieo was really hype at that day and so many projects were following this hype and tried to get as many as profit they could even though most of them were scammers. same in 2020, defi is really hype and for now the hype is gradually faded away, of course the scammers and fake projects are following same shit again

The altcoin season has started since the last week where many of the top altcoins have increased based on the chart on the CMC market and made most of the new projects appear more and more and there are even projects like 2019 revived using the Defi concept. this is a way to attract market sensation especially considering the green signal has appeared, this is a golden opportunity for them to launch their project again.

this is very through. many projects will want to take advantages of alts season to enter the market. But in my opinion, a solid project needs not wait for bull season before launch; many project were launched during bear market and they do well.

A genuine project with a proper planning and visionary leader will not be rushing into anything as they don't have to rush when the market is good because market situation is not a permanent stuff but the project have to go on. Hence, in my opinion regardless of bull run or bearish market a good project will definitely achieve success with its product rather than market situation, there were so many projects which gave covid as excuse because they have no vision and even if they launch now it will be nothing more than a bubble.

It's been evident from 2017 ICO which many projects before bull run really do progress well and it's also true that many projects fr 2017 failed due to its hype only in making their projects release without any concrete plan just joining the bulk of ICO projects during that time, we will able to see that only few lis still visible now to those who start 3 years ago.

don't really know about this, but i'am sure when the altseason really come, a lot of shitcoins will die
only some solid and reliable project will survive and reach the ATH,
maybe some project will take advantages in green market, but for me thats not a good sign for the project itself

Yes, some projects did not succeed before.

And they take advantage of the really bullish Bitcoin, one of those is ETH with ETH 2.0

There are others not so popular but that will also be a trend ...

Most of them are already dead long time ago. Only few survive. Because most of them were launched for the benefit of the dev team, collecting money from naive investors. Empty foundation, no actual development and the problem was a lot of them had anon team. So they can easily disappear without a trace along with the money collected. So as long as there are naive buyers in the market, there will be scam projects in crypto space. Just look at the bounty section and there are so many projects being listed every day and most of them, even their bounty hunters are being screwed.

they think by folllowing moment in crypto market could help them survive or atleast price will stabel. but unfortunately investors have different respons for it, some project get market hype and some project die due their quality. in green market most of investors prefer to play safe by buying bitcoin or top altcoin in cmc, they do not want loss in same condition in the past.

i think that's right. In 2017, every new project is 80% has a green market. because of the influence of the euphoria of the highest Bitcoin increase. all markets have an increase of more than 5x. and that was taken advantage of by the crypto project launched that year. but after. 2018-2019 many crypto projects failed to release. and those that were successful releases had prices falling more than 3x. while the projects launched in 2017 were 70% scams in 2019.

It's just there are more alt projects being released in alt season because it has a high success rate since there would be more willing to invest their money if they knew they could get an easy profit with it.

True, therefore there is no guarantee of survival for new projects to launch by taking advantage of green market conditions, even if they try to trick investors by offering lucrative prizes.

I don't know about other IEO platforms but I'm certain about binance exchange launchpads, with altcoin season or not every project that use binance for IEO fundraising will do 2x atleast, ICO is different from IEO and it's clear that IEO don't have same hype like ICO had in 2017 so I don't think that IEOs will pump because of any altcoin season

Investors have matured, developers can launch their project any year at any condition and situation, but if they are not going to offer something worthwhile to the community and the project has no usage at all, it's going to fail, just like all the other project that offers nothing.

Yep that is true, In 2017 the scammers finds the opportunity to join the bullish trend of the market. I remember that some of the projects were suspicious but their coin had a value and it was mooning. They really joined the bullish trend and when the bear hits the market the coin suddenly dumped and died. For sure in the next alt season many projects will pop up.

This is very true that with the hype same level or kind of same thing always try to take advantage and this was happened in 2017 And this is very natural because this is an option for the low quality  projects or for the scammers to be in hype and reach the goal.

True, but only partially. Yes, if the altcoin season starts, there are more chances for a successful launch and promotion - but at the same time there is a great chance to drown in a sea of new projects and become "another project". The main thing here is to be on time. If you will not choose right time and place, do not expect that this train will be waiting for you.

The fact is that today investors are becoming more attentive, compared to 2017, and scammers manage to steal smaller amounts of funds. Based on this, I believe that even a bullish season will not be so successful for them.

In my opinion its true because crap projects want to take the advantage of the bull market and that way they will also list their coins and take benefit from the bullish wave. Let see when altcoins will start flying you will notice many much-awaited coins will also start getting listed.

Many developers want to take advantage of bull season if available, you will see abandoned projects coming back to life, do not the fooled they are here to make some money through the bull market, this doesn't mean they will continue development after the bullrun is over, it's nothing at all cos we've seen such in 2017

Bulls already landed on the cryptocurrency space which also injected lot of new projects but not a lot I guess compared to 2017 rally of ICOs which lasted until the mid 2018 even the bullish trend started to get reversed in the end of 2017 itself. But if we take a look at the existing altcoins not much of them reached their new altcoins even when BTC easily broke resistance above 20K now in the reach of 24K.

looking at what happened in 2017, it could happen this year. however, there will be very many parties who take advantage of alt seasons to launch projects that they are made ready or not ready to follow the wave. this can make the project fail in the future. This was proven in 2018 when so many projects fell, even projects that were deemed high quality became scams.

Of course, in part it will be true. An upward trend provides excellent opportunities for all projects, including those that are not the most promising.
Who knows what this may lead to in the future. Some of these projects are disclosed thanks to funding, while others raise money and disappear from the scene.

It's not just altcoin season, they always do it every time there's the big new hype. Sure, it could get the chance for a high price hike, but such a waste project would not last long. So during the altcoin season or hype, everyone is expected to make wise investments.

Indeed, a lot of cryptocurrency projects were constantly trying for various reasons to postpone the launch of their project until better times, namely till the start of the altseason, but the most interesting thing is that all cryptocurrencies are growing in price throughout 2020, and bitcoin and altcoins, but many cryptocurrency projects still not started...

The word is true. When the market is green, the addiction of investors increases. At the same time, the violence of the scammers increases. However, entrepreneurs or developers do not have a headache with the market. They take the project to the pinnacle of improvement in any situation, any way. For the sake of humanity, they keep the project closed or paused not only in bad situations but also in good situations.

Yeah, but it usually just dies out pretty much after the season anyway. Altcoin season might be also the wolf's season to hunt for their preys to scam.
There were a lot of those back in 2017 and I wouldn't even be surprised that many would do it again since Bitcoin pretty much got past 20k and there would be many not wanting to miss the train already.

Yes that's true even i already notice some project who already start their token sale again. Cause this is best time to take advantage of green market and get public attention easily.its okey for those good projects who restart their journey, only failed due to Covid-19 or lack of money but as you mentioned, there are some shit project from 2017, come again to take advantage and scam. Should be careful about those

Adjuctly.Lots of project who launched in 2019, postponed their token sale cause unable to receive enough response.they were looking perfect time, which is right now.so they come in this industry again.we got successful project from 2017 because of green bitcoin market. After that, 2018 & 2019 i saw almost 90% project were scam and red market.be careful about those scam project, cause most of those are re-launch again

Whatever you've heard, is truth.now the situation is same like 2017. Scammers are also trying to grab this oppourtunity, so they already launched some new project to scam.even some of scammers again start tokensale that was stopped on 2017, which won't be tolerast anymore.this time we shoudnt do mistake and its better to avoid invest on any shit project and must analysis before investment.
