What do you think about launchpad projects? A friend said they fade away with time as some are based on IEO and some use IDO but as time goes by they faded away, is this true?

There is nothing bad to just hold bitcoin, it is the best to buy and hold. Or look also for reputable altcoins with very high marketcap, but the best crypto asset someone can have is bitcoin becaue it is decentralized more than any coin existing that are a little centralized, which is what we should look at and it will worth more then today tomorrow.

I have not been studying Launchpad projects like Binance Launchpad, I have used some little amount of money to buy some befor, the price will go high at first but later reduce in a way not profitable. Maybe the price will increase later as it has happened in the past to some coins, but just take it as gambling.

The sad truth is they never performed to well on the long run, look at the top launchpad projects today many have lost 80% of their value, few have lost 60% already, I remember losing 400$ to metavpad months back, I was in rush and I FOMO'd in because someone I trust recommends it, we both failed at picking this coin, from 0.45$ down to 0.03$. Be careful.

This doesn't seem good for now. You can try to take some launch pad tokens and you will be seeing the performance of launch pad tokens right now. These tokens are dropping a lot since the last bearish trend but it's not having good recovery for now.
It's not true at all but the popularity of launchpad projects decreasing even more since the IEO has become the big trend for now. You can see how many ROI that already made by some projects that launched through IEO. This proves that if Launchpad project is not having good future.

Several launchpad time on Binance worth with price pump drastically when first time listing and consistent each launchpad get on 10x higher than pre sale or launchpad sale, but have little weakness with Binance launchpad because under $3,000 BNB worth for staking is not enough to earn much coin allocation from Launchpad, small allocation with launchpad staking looks little interested although coin worth pump drastically but just got few coins only from BNB staking, I think next time when have launchpad give about 40% allocation and staking BNB with value above $3,000 can earn much coin.

To be honest those trends only exist for very short time because they are not bringing any evolution in the market, simply copying an existing model and launching with new name on popular trading platforms so those are considered as short term investors and they will dump at the first sight itself when they see the profits.

if the platform are the ones that known for giving out some best quality projects out there like binance and coinlist it’s gonna be giving great ROI.
honestly the future of these projects heavily depends in their development, i’ve seen plenty of projects being released this way having massive success in the long term because they are consisting of many committed team behind the project itself.
so basically it all comes down with the quality of the projects that are being launched through various platforms either it’s IEO and IDO, can’t judge these projects just based from the method it used for fundraising honestly.
The majority of demand were going to the IEO that launched through CEX again

In 2021 some project give very good profit to IDO launchpad Investors. Many coins did 50x above. Blok token was increased 700 time from IDO price. But now it's look like IDO and Ieo launchpad not working. Most projects are failing and their coin price are below than IDO or IEO price. If trend back we can see again to these kind of coins but for now I recommend to stay away from these kind of projects and look for only Bitcoin,etherium and other best coins.

That's not entirely true, as long as you choose and use a good IDO platform, you will avoid any downsides, such as the IDO held on DAOMaker, or the launchpad provided by Coinlist, they have a very positive trend so far. And for IEO, I don't think there's anything detrimental, especially IEO conducted by big exchanges like Binance and FTX. You can see IEO data held by FTX at the following link: https://ftx.com/intl/ieos

A lot of tokens coming from launchpad went up very high in the beginning but tokens went down fast and I also experienced the same thing many members here suffer from buying these tokens and last a long time so better be careful in investing in IDO or IEO because if we miscalculate, a very big loss will befall us and before we buy IDO tokens we should also do some research first so we don't buy the wrong one.

It's possible if these launchpads keep launching projects that failed the expectation of investors, I invested in three projects that come from launchpad but unfortunately, these projects failed to deliver and I already lose half of my investment, they just launched for the sake of feeding their launchpad followers and the value of their own token without enough research on the potential of the coin, so my advice is do not fully trust these launchpads, and do your own research instead.

I think that is what is happening to launchpad projects. I think you are right that they rise and after sometime again they drop. They are just like altcoins that they follow bitcoin bull and bear movement too. Launchpad are not separated from other coins and at the moment doing what other coins are doing, down  If bitcoin start to increase then they also increase just as ICO, IEO.

I think venture investing is not going anywhere. There was a launchpad hype in 2021 and even some exchanges were launching their own launchpads, like ByBit, Huobi, etc. Every year ICO will transform into different forms, but while there will be new projects in the crypto industry, new ICOs will appear again and again, just their form will be slightly modified.

yes that's true, because there will be times when everyone is bored. but as long as new projects are released daily the launchpad platform will remain. because new projects need this platform to seek funding. so although the hype for investing in IEO/IDO has diminished, this platform will not be completely forgotten.

yes that's absolutely true. launchpad will eventually be deprecated as well, and there will be a new way to raise seed funding. Initially launchpad was expected to prevent fraud and verify new projects. but the truth is there are still a lot of shit projects out there. they use IEO/IDO on the launchpad platform with ease, even I doubt if every project is verified before starting to raise funding. because of this, launchpad will be deprecated later.

Many launchpad projects sell initial funds but don't have strict project reputation verification requirements, so over time the launchpad project hype has faded and the only launchpad platforms trusted by the community are Binance, FTX and Polkastarter.

Joining the IDO project on the popular platform launchpad does not guarantee profit, so analyze the potential of the IDO project before joining to buy investors in the IDO project.

The launchpad projects are dedicated to incubating new projects and as long as new projects keep coming up and looking to raise funds to develop their projects, I think launchpad  will be around for now. It is possible something new or different will come up in future that will replace them who knows.

Nowadays, many investors use the launchpad platforms to invest rather than direct investment like the ico days. Similarly, most new projects uses launchpad to make fast sales too.  

I don't think that there i a general yes or no answer to that. I already took part in a few sales from launchpad projects and as of now i think that the big majority of this project is still very active and looks still promising to me. Of course one or two of those projects are already dead now which means those investments are a total loss for me but even with those losses calculated in i am still in the profit zone in total. Back in may 2021 i was very deep in the profit zone like x100 form my initial investment but of course my portfolio took a heavy blow in the last 12 months because usually small and new projects fall even more than BTC and ETH.

Invest on an exchange token or a dex token, they have reason to be alive, they have demanding use cases more than a launchpad project, also smart contract projects are even more demanding than ever, you can see Velas, Saito, Solana, Avalanche and others.

It depends on the platform that provides IEO services if at that time the platform was quality, like now there are, highly qualified binance, gate, polkastater, seedy.fund provide projects that offer IEO on that platform.
Two of them are exchanges and the other is an incubator which now occupies the top spot as the best IEO venue.
As times move on, IEOs may fade, but it will be seen how the platforms are if they stay popular they will do well.

The launch pad project will fade away when the launch can't defend its demand from the domination that comes from another launch pad platform. You can see how major exchange sites IEO have been dominating the launch pad market. These launch pad projects are also expanding its domination by actively investing into the various launch pad platforms as well. The competition is very strict. You can see how poolz has been fallen since last year caused by it can't compete with so many new launch pad and IDO platforms.
Some platforms may die soon as long as it can't even get more and more demand from the market.

That is what I am saying too, not even that they are like altcoins, they are actually actcoins, Launchpad are either IEO or ICO. Example is the Launchpad on binance, because binance is an exchange, the coins introduced through the Launchpad are IEO.

There are some altcoins that were introduced through the Launchpad and they were successful but just that altcoins generally can become unprofitable and very risky in a way some lead to loss.

Like on Binance, there is also a launchpad feature so you can buy crypto first that wants to be listed on Binance, but the system is like buying IPO shares, so if it works, you can get crypto to go up 1000% a day. In my view, in the near future, launchpad projects will be a completely different thing where they are even more flexible and dynamic.

I think that's true too but not all of them are fading away because there have also been new IEO and IDO projects which have had great success in the past although there aren't many at this time because there are new concepts in the crypto space like Metaverse, NFT and also others.

Right now I'm aiming to invest on Velaspad, this is the only launchpad project I have in mind after losing some money to metavpad weeks ago, I don't recommend any launchpad projects unless it's from a top crypto exchange like binance or kucoin, binance launchpad is strong because of the success of the exchange.

The future of the ENJINSTARTER project is definitely in success!! The project has great potential. Don't miss this opportunity. The core of the EnjinStarter Multiverse is based on NFTs that demonstrate how the blockchain will drive a new era in digital property.

Crypto launchpads, also known as crypto incubators, are platforms that allow blockchain-based projects to raise capital while giving access to early-stage token sales for their group of investors. Getting access to early-stage sales means a bargain price for the investors before the public launch on the market. Also, because the cost of launching in a crypto launchpad is low (or insignificant), increasingly more projects are heading towards launchpads for fundraising.
Launching a project through a launchpad offers security to both founders and investors. Top crypto launchpads have a rigorous vetting process for new projects, while a KYC (Know Your Customer) process is usually performed by a third party as part of new users’ verification.
Additionally, launching the project through a launchpad provides new founders with access to a community of crypto investors and enthusiasts, ready to explore a new project.

I joined many IDOs last 2020 when bull market are about to explode and this is the best time to enter, I remember most tokens goes 10x-50x but as months goes by many new launchpad starting to offer IDO services which requires investors to buy their token first to be eligible for whitelisting but the problem is many small investors cannot joined whitelisting and forced to buy at DEX upon listing but most IDO buyers dumped on them until price crashed, looks like many launchpads are also manipulating the whitelist winners some are not qualified even they hold the required amount of tokens. Really hard to trust this launchpads for now much better to wait until price dump and then buy at the bottom.   

Launchpad tokens are too volatile compared to altcoins with other use cases, this is why I dont like them and I only choose two launchpad projects to invest money on, those are Velaspad and metavpad and they aren't doing so well right now.

The trends that follow always create ways for users to access new projects. Of course, when initially some projects achieve great profits, it will motivate developers to participate in construction and compete a lot. Over time, it leaves a space that thins out because not everything has a lasting purpose. I've seen a few products where they build their own ecosystem, but they are essentially MLM projects, just following trends and not caring about quality.

The problem is too small allocations that being offered by the launch pad project and this is making the spot that available in the market become less and less. People are not interesting anymore with this caused by it's so hard to join in the sale. That's making some launch pad projects are not getting the demand anymore just like what happened with the poolz. To be honest the popularity of the launch pad token will sustain when people will get more allocation and more spots to come. I see that people are writing that here if they are also feeling tired to not get any allocation even when they have spent months and thousands of USD to participate in the sale that available in the various launch pad. In this case IEO was the most fair one.
