Bitcoin Forum

I found out in the blockchain world, many people are losing patience when they start to invest in a project. Their understanding about "long term" is no longer years but weeks.

Some project need time to build and shape. What do you think?

They are probably either looking to get quick bucks or not in the mood to get involved in the community. People stay in a particular project because they might have discovered the niche they want and somewhere to stay, like here in the forum. Then that will be the part where "long-term" is the goal.

If you think about it, a quick build project could look better. It's a baby, and are you sure you can take risks with those kinds of projects? I don't think people will jump at that opportunity unless you can.

I have no problem with long-term investments, the problem is that in the crypto world there is no guarantee that a given project will last for a longer period of time. The "buy it and forget it for years" approach is very unreasonable to me. Even the most promising projects can face many problems as they develop. I believe that you need to constantly control what is happening with the projects in which we invest and in the world of cryptocurrencies in general. Trends change relatively often, which may be associated with interesting earning opportunities, but also involves the risk of a significant loss of the value of a given asset after a change in the trend.

The problem is not with the individual motivation level and how long there are willing to wait, altcoin investments are high-risk investments and at that, most of that investors tend to lose their cool whenever the price of the coin drop in high percentage and frequently, this is why most times many of them lose hope in the long term potential of the coin., but you must also know that there are other investors who are short term investors this set of investor only speculate the market and set their price target to within 1 week or a couple of weeks with short term mindset.


If i am to fundamentally understand a project and guaranteed its success in the long term, I may wait to get involved in the early stage, just like some of the Bitcoin OGs that have been following with bitcoin development right from the very beginning.

If it is long-term, it means it could be years. But if it's weeks, it means it's short-term. There may be coins that can provide profits in the short, medium, and long term, but that is difficult to detect because the movement of the coins will depend on the movement of bitcoin. So I guess if you invest in Bitcoin, it can mean investing for the long term. But if you invest in altcoins, it will probably be short- to medium-term.

And that's where our patience is tested so that we can really hold Bitcoin and altcoins until it's time for us to sell and make a profit. So be patient if those coins haven't been able to upgrade because if it is a potential coin, it will surely increase one day.

You're right.

And you know why? It's because that people have been thinking that it's always a fast paced market which is but then, that comes close because of its volatility.

But for these projects to impress investors then they have to show that they're already at their best as they propose themselves and giving their pitch to everybody.

Why not, just that it takes risk going for such decision because some coins will definitely survived through the years and remained profitable while some may drop down along the way due to some internal problems from it developers, that's why investment in altcoins has it own risk higher than on bitcoin because you don't know which cryptocurrency is next in line for going down, but if you take the risk and invested in any and the whole thing turns a testimony, you will never regret taking such decision in life forever because you will earn pretty well.

I think you were right about people not having enough patience. But there are a lot of empty and unnecessary projects in the cryptocurrency market. You can lose years of expectation along with your investment. Things are happening very fast now. Technology is changing all the time. A few years in the blockchain world is no small thing.

True, but they want at least something in the initial stages. A foundation so to speak. If said foundation is so weak it was basically nonexistent, I wouldn't blame investors for trying to avoid the said project. I do understand how some people look at "long term" being weeks or months, it's exactly how newbie investors see Bitcoin, kind of unfortunate really. I also wouldn't blame them, that's how I looked at Bitcoin as well initially.

On the other hand some projects just pop off all of a sudden and investors come flooding in. That's the moment where they should have released the project, not before. It may be due to lack of funds but hey, investors aren't exactly charity.

Well depending on your goal in life, if your survival largely depends on your investment then it is no, better to invest on other projects that won't take such a length of time to be successful.
Even btc didn't wait until 10 years before people where able to make profit, rather people made money at different stages as btc advance and grow. My point is, if the person has a different source of revenue and don't depend on returns from the investment they can afford to invest on such long project otherwise there are other options that does not necessarily require such a long period.

if it's cold money why not? I will try to invest there especially if it's an interesting thing related to AI, financial or some kind of trend that is suitable for the long term and they have a clear relationship like a giant company or a well-known exchange. I think I believe they are indeed worthy of being a place to invest.

If they think that investing is just for mere weeks, they failed as a long term investor. Actually the growth of project/altcoin investment here is too fast compared to traditional investment which literally took years for your investment to get a significant amount of profit. I guess the cryptocurrency volatility is what makes them think that a long term investment will only need weeks to grow. We invest on the project product and that kind of product doesn't come in an instant and some product take years to create or build. Investing on that kind of real project is what long term investment is. When the time comes that they grow, you also grow. 

Some of these people invested money coming from loans or their savings and they want quick profit they are paying interest from their loans, and they need money coming from their savings they do not have patience for a long-term investment, good investments are projects with platforms and developers who are actively developing and testing the project before they launch their main net, it takes months or years to complete that.

And many investors are tempted to invest in pump-and-dump projects because many have seen that there are huge profits from these projects but they failed to realize that it's very risky to invest in these kinds of projects because you have to follow the project all the time for a pump, many are losing because they are late in dumping their bags after accumulating.
 

I think it has to do with the fact that many projects nowadays are short lived, in term of volatility and value increase, so many projects increase its value within few days they were first existed like sui and arbitrum.
many are having high expectation with the newer coins.

honestly it depends in the circumstance, if the other project seemed to have shorter cycle of reaching bearish.
then honestly i would rethink my decision in investing in more long term investment since that would mean im gonna lose some opportunity.
but then again we hardly now which coin could gain massive increase in value.

There’s a lot of existing and newly launch project that give profit in short period of time. Investors is just maximizing the opportunity to enter on trending project rather than make their capital stagnant on an asset that still building since they can enter once the already started. It’s not that big profit if they enter early but that 1 year duration can give tons of profit when invested on right project is on hype.


This is true. You can always put them on watchlist and just invest when there’s already a bullish signal for them. They will still build with or without your money though.

Now crypto become advance and everyone looks for short term profit and long term project are very rarely demanded. I think investing in coins which take years to blow up are not worth because we don't know the future of crypto what will happen in Market and will the hype of such project will remain or not. It is better to invest in short term project for fast earning.

I guess in the early years of crypto, yeah, the projected success is like for long term. That's we still have like Ethereum or even Litecoin or we can consider Doge (although meme coin), part of that group.

But now, with a lot of projects being tossed around and literally thousand of them in the crypto space, for sure there are investors who don't understand that but just wanted to make quick money in the market now. And most likely this is a meme coin or shit coin, a good example is $pepe which I read that someone become a millionaire. But that is not going to be the case for the majority of us, it takes patience and luck as well to invest early and make millions in just snap of a finger.

When we compare the current market with the past periods, it is possible to see that the market is stagnant. Because in the past, there were not many investors in the market and it was very easy to make money. When we look at the current order, it became difficult to earn money as the number of investors increased. In the same way, when we look at the past periods, we see that the market evolves very quickly, so many projects are wasted in the long run and this causes loss of money. For this reason, I prefer to take profit in the short term instead of the long term, except for marginal cryptocurrencies, including me.

We can't blame investors nowadays for having a hard time trusting new projects when it comes to long term investment. We've been through a lot that made us gain trust issues since most long term projects before have turned into bubble after a long time of waiting. Only a few could take the risks these days and they're only risking on well established coins.
If there will be short term profit opportunities then it would be better to grab and invest on it than letting our funds sleep without any assurance of gaining profit in the future not unless we're going to invest it with coins with a strong foundation like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB and more. What investors want these days is assurance which is hard to find on coins that only rely on hype.

The habits of crypto investors have been changing a lot with the goes of time.
As you can see that how people are competing so hard to make fast bucks through meme token. It seems like that the situation has been pushing them to think about how to make money as soon as possible from the market.
Anyone has different perspective about that. As you can see that how people are still even trying so hard to use meme coin as money machine generator.

The legit project has vision for long term build but there have been many impatiences investors who are always seeking for the instant profit from the market. This is also pushing the market to get a huge resistance.
People can't wait for long term if they need fast money. that's the reason why mostly of people need fast bucks.

Investing in a project that might take years to shine means you aren't actually late to join the project. It might take time to grow, but once it does, the rewards can be immense. Some questions that you should ask yourself before investing - Do you believe in the project? Is it legit? Does it solve a real problem? If the answer is yes, holding could make sense. Or else, just sell it when you are in profit. The crypto market is notorious for volatility and unforeseen circumstances. So, even if it does sound good, it might not actually deliver what it promised due to various circumstances and in the end it might become another abandoned project. Do your own research and invest only what you can afford to lose.

There are many projects that lock investors' tokens and unlock them according to a percentage to maintain the token's value for a long period of time. there are also many projects that list tokens on exchanges after a long time of completing all their sales. many of these projects are hugely successful and many of them are scams. So not all projects can be trusted. before investing, research should be done multiple time.

Investing without patience has little value. If an investor invests his money in a project, he must understand that the full return on his investment will not be in weeks, but at least a year. There is no such thing that the project immediately reveals its potential, it necessarily takes time to develop and spread it in the community. This is why those who want something from the project in a few weeks should not look in the direction of investment, but rather in the direction of trading.

lots of investors fail simply because of a lack of patience in waiting for the projects they invest to shine, it's true that no one can predict the future, but if your decision is certain to make long-term investments, then never back down, or you will regret and loss, waiting for years is a natural thing

First, not a few people have the mindset that time is money, therefore these people will make the best use of their time. We can't blame the mindset of these people, because they have their own point of view.

Back to your question about " Will you invest in a project that might take years to outshine the market?? ". So my answer would be "Yes", but depending on the project, we have to do due diligence first, don't invest in a project that takes too long to develop, like an example is Pi Network.

Investing needs patience and people forgot it. They wannma get instant money. that's it. It was making so many people forgot that if there are some important things like developing the product needs the time. it can't be done instantly. I would be agreed to say yes for the project as long as it has a very good backers and team. WP doesn't matter a lot for me in this case.

I don't consider waiting for years is natural thing, someone could always rethink about their investment portfolio composition and recompose it again, just invest in some newly emerged project, the results already outdone some of the investment even though it's short term.

Do not fall for it, scammers are very smart and they will use every single trick they have to their advantage, in theory if you consider yourself an investor then you should be willing to buy an asset and hold it for years if needed be in order to obtain the profits you are looking for.

But this is only true if you invested in a great asset which can recover in the case there is a large drop, most altcoins do not have those capabilities and as such it is a terrible idea to try to invest in those coins at such an early stage.

After reading most of the comments and replies, guess people are willing to invest in gem. But as always, it's never easy to look for a gem and we will never know it's a gem till it shines in the market.

I think this depends on the situation and price movements in the market. If the situation requires long term investing, I'll join. If we look at the market for a while, the corrections and pumps are relatively small, I think it's better to play short. meaning just follow the direction of the market where it flows, meaning never ever try the opposite.

I would say that long-term investment must carry patience and we know that at the start. But you are right, most of us wanted instant but guess what, impatient people never win, but long-term holders do so well. But if you are an impatient person, don't make yourself sacrifice pretending that you can hold years, it is best to choose the life that you think suit in you. As long as you are investing in profitable projects, whether it was for long-term or short-term investment, nothing is wrong. But of course, must stay away from projects who promise high rewards as they will only fool us and take our money.

In my opinion, the best thing to do in the current situation is to check planned projects and invest and hold on to them until the next bull run of the market. I recommend the ret currency to you.#renewable_energy_token

True, is I am recommended this to, considering the fundamentals of the project, the roadmap, and the team behind it. By understanding the value of patience and having a long-term mindset, you may find opportunities that outperform the market for several years, offering great returns on your investment.

Time is ticking and given the growth in the fast-paced world of blockchain, the average investor looking for quick returns often loses patience with projects that take time to develop. However, it is important to realize that some ventures require a long term perspective to develop and mature and if done what you ask is answered because this type of investing in such a project can yield significant returns if you have patience and faith in its potential.

If i would know that there is a project out there that is still small but is planning to really create a product that is new or is advancing the crypto scene and not just the next stupid meme-coin that is offering literally nothing and that is dead again in a few days then i would definitely be interested, even if it would take years for the product to be ready.
It is pretty hard to find such a project though, obviously there are many projects out there that are claiming to do that, but those can also be false promises or sometimes it can also happen, that the team simply is not able to deliver even if they want to because the money runs out or other stuff.

I’ll tell you so that in a project that will be promoted for a long time, that is, long-term, as for me, I wouldn’t wet and invest because you can give birth for an indefinite amount of time and, as a result, long-term turn into a loss of money earned, I’m not a supporter of such projects, good projects immediately show themselves in everything

Depends on who are the people behind that project and if they are just some anonymous people hiding from their investors, I may just skip it and not want to learn more about their plans or read their whitepapers because they obviously have some trust issues which I consider a red flag when it comes for investing with my money. We need to be surely capable of making some decent amount of income when waiting for long for certain coins to grow and that is only possible if we trust the team behind it also if possible their updates and developments should be constant in order to assure that they are not only talking here, they are working towards better future for their coin.

Many people in the blockchain world are too impatient and expect quick returns. They don’t understand that some projects take time to develop and deliver value. I think it’s important to do your own research and invest in projects that have a solid vision and team. Long term investing is the way to go in this space.

They are hoping for a hype, and if the projects focus more on long term goal and approach, these scalpers will not be interested anymore with the project as they prefer more to have more profit quickly which I think is also fine as long as you know what you are doing. We cannot force anyone here to hold or invest for long term as we all have different goals and approach in the market. There's no guarantee about the future of crypto, so if there's a chance for me to take profit as early as possible I will also do it.

You need also to consider the bear/bull market because some people are just lucky enough when they got on some projects, and some are lucky enough to exit early or exit on the peak.
But I believe some did some research and speculations before they was able to make good profits from their investment.

To answer the title of this topic, yes, because, for me, investment takes time and effort, you need to be patient sometimes.

My belief is that any new project that makes a huge surge in price in the short term of its launch is a hype-based project because most of the market-leading cryptocurrency project we have today was in existence for years before they could get the good adoption they had today.
This is the reason why we see some crypto investors being a victim of meme coin hype because the multiplier made by a certain project in the market is the major focus of some crypto investors these days.
The years a project shine is not my major concern cause the fundamental concept, the issue it solves, and the project's uniqueness is the reason why I invest in an altcoin if I must invest in any. Besides, there's a certain privacy coin that was launched 4years ago that I am holding and most privacy enthusiasts haven't noticed the coin but the developer are working hard and introducing new things into the market.

I don't have any statistical data, but I assume that most projects that are good and serious tend to have much solid start-up unlike those projects that aren't.
I will personally invest to projects that I think will have a good future market value. I always consider the use case, the team, roadmap, Whitepaper, etc.

For large projects, it takes years to successfully complete the construction of all stages. The so-called burning of stages causes the project to fail.

As for the situation because of the meme coins that have no purpose or project and multiply in a very short period, people started panting after this meme and left investing in projects.

It always takes time for projects to mature since they are following roadmaps. And patience can runout when you see the investment never grow along time especially when the bear market strikes.

But I did tried investing during ICO, it paid well despite the time of waiting though as in crypto all you need is a bull run. The timing matters in crypto investing.

That was because if they could find the hidden gem, they would gain huge profits they could never imagine. Just imagine, just by investing a few dollars, you can get thousands of dollars in results. Who wouldn't be interested? And that brings more new people to invest in crypto especially in new projects.

Little do they know that finding hidden gems is difficult and no one knows which project will become the next hidden gem. Here they are gambling with their money, hoping to get big profits.

Not always because of the hype. New projects at the start of trading have a very small circulating supply, so it is very easy to inflate the price of such projects, exchanges are actively involved in this. After the price is artificially inflated, an active sale begins, and the project price is flying to the bottom. After she reaches the bottom, the supply has time to increase and price jumps are not as rapid as before. In fact, all these big candles are caused by short-term speculators and stock bots more often than just the hype around the project.

I believe that even good projects can fail in the long term, so long-term planning is not advisable unless we consider Bitcoin, Ethereum, and BNB. In this crypto market, anything can happen, and the demand fluctuates rapidly, so making extensive long-term plans is not wise in my opinion. Everyone wants to make a profit in the short term, and not many people invest for slow, gradual gains in the crypto market, at least that's what I think.

You're right about cryptocurrency exchange inflating the price of a newly created project that just got listed and that's why I never join the trading competition of a new listing project because after the trading competition ends the crypto bottom price will come to life but we can still categorize it as hype because marketing is done in diverse ways and strategy procedure that put the project an on the edge is hype.

Investing in projects that are certainly going to do well in the future is different from investing with a hope that the project would do well in the future. Most projects in the industry can only offer the community or investors hope of doing better in the future. There's no certainty in this industry as we know the market is volatile and disruptive.

Why wouldn't someone.  I get the cash grab on quick pumps but for preservation of capital I would advise to find these types of projects for long term appreciation. A good project is a good project and eventually the market will catch up.  I'm not into flash grabs anymore so I prefer these types of projects.

If assurance is there, then it won't be a problem waiting. Problem is, there's no such thing as assurance in this industry. Every project has its own potential to be profitable for years but why aren't they all be? 'coz there are factors which affects the market especially in this industry. Everything is determined by demand and it happened that demand is a changing variable. There are several factors which affects the demand towards a project which causes uncertainties with regards to its future developments. There are projects which are sxisting for years in this industry but only a few are quite having a consistent progress. So if criterias and long term vision would be met, then it would be okay doing so. Bottomline is, it depends on the project 'coz not all would be good for long term investment.

Bitcoin and ethereum take a decade to reach into this level and that's the point when investing in the crypto. you wait for years but you get lots of return from there.

So many stupid people are always expecting to get money as soon as possible while they were able making it to be even better by use it for long term hold to get bigger return(legit coin only).

sounds like really bad idea, i don't think i will be that invested in a project that takes too long just to increase their price whatsoever, you don't even know whether the time when the project have rally will come because usually such project that takes too long time just for that aren't gonna be having good future, more likely to be abandoned by the general people that invested in the project honestly.

100% yes, I'm doing it with NeonLink now

Investors that appreciate a project's long-term potential and are prepared to be patient can reap huge rewards. Such investors understand that establishing a successful product takes time, and they are ready to ride through market ups and downs. It is crucial to understand that not all blockchain initiatives are made equal. Some initiatives may need years to establish, lay a solid basis, and fulfill their objectives, whilst others are trash money game enterprises.

They're getting confused by the quick riches project like memecoins and shit tokens gives to people who gets lucky by investing in them and they are using it to make quick money. Investing should be a minimum of , 6 months as that why long term should be for minimum then if you want to increase it should be more than  a year.
Having patience is the best thing you can do when you invest in a project that is legitimate and not scams. It's not every project that you'll invest, some are just not worth investing as they'll die. The best projects take time to develop and that's why you should invest in those times so you can get a good amount of token for very low price.
Investing in the bear market is the best time to buy coins that you'll hold for the bull market to start so you can profits. You can buy newly launched coins or old ones but make sure the project are working on good ideas and they have a very strong team to avoid investing in scam that'll run away with investors money.

Every project does take time, just like bitcoin takes several years to get a lot of investors and community there, to be honest, for beginners, of course they won't think about long-term investments, they don't have time to do in-depth research, some projects can develop in a few years. , there are also many cases of big projects that suddenly go bankrupt or even close, that's what beginners and new investors are worried about, but it's possible to bring in people who believe in a project and even invest in them for the long term, usually if it's successful then it will be profitable , but the risk of losing everything is also there.

My advice is that you should never invest in any crypto before doing in-depth research on the project you want to invest in, don't follow FOMO, keep doing research because that will determine the outcome of your investment in the long term. i prefer to keep bitcoin and ETH for long term the rest i am still a bit hesitant, learned from LUNA failure so be careful with that,  ;D

There is no guarantee that after a few years, the project will be successful and bring a big profit. The development of the project can stop at any time for reasons independent of us. But even if the project achieves significant success, this does not mean that the price of the coin should also increase, because it is a cryptocurrency, not a security.

nowadays it's different though so many good project got massive hype at the beginning and then goes forgotten and lose its value after sometime, right now many are quite good enough in determining which project are good thats why initial investment there are so many demand, yet after that, the demand isn't so strong because the coin is already reaching its peak valuation and then go downhill after that, so I guess nowadays, investing in project that's long term isn't really interesting.
I guess there's also reason why so many people nowadays are choosing IEO projects and backed by big venture capital project rather than some ordinary project because they got listed fast in famous exchange and could gain increase in market capitalisation relatively faster than the other, after all people are now want to flip their money in an instant.

I agree with you that patience is the key to success and achieving returns in the crypto arena, but not all currencies in the market are worth investing in the long term; there are new projects that fail after a while, and there are currencies that are delisted from exchange platforms and so on, so for me yes I prefer to keep my patience in any investment I enter into, but in promising and old currencies in the market and that is supported by a strong team and a vast community and have cases of use and the like, for example, the meme coins, if I made good profits from them, why wait patiently in the long term, because these shitcoins can collapse dramatically and they can't return to the previous ATH.

Of course! I totally agree with that. I am a person who likes long term investment. It seems to me that an investment that takes many years to succeed will have a very strong foundation so that it is likely to succeed.
I am willing to wait 2 to 3 years for my investment to generate returns for me.;D

On centralized exchanges, investors like to lock in profits, so prices begin to update their lows, but before they do, they very often rise even higher than they did before listing. That's a good amount of time to lock in profits. Assets like memcoins or nft cannot be held for long, but you have to constantly monitor the market to sell all these tokens at the most profitable moment. If the hype ends and the investor still has the coins, then you can forget about the profit, at best this investor will sell everything at cost, but more often than not the sale turns out to be a big loss.

I totally agree with you because that's who I am and as an investor ROI and time are our biggest concerns. This is a very real problem. After all, participants in the current encryption world treat tokens as simple buying and selling behaviors, not beliefs. In other words, the interest relationship between the user and the project party becomes very simple. Making money is a long-term consensus. If you lose money, the user turns around and leaves.

here's the thing
when you choose a project that's only gaining community and popularity you cannot expect a "boom"
you gotta se if the team has great long term plans and not only plans but real ongoing events and a ready to use product
I saw the testnet Break_Me of the project called NeonLink, it's not that hyped yet but I believe with that passion of devs and team they will reach highs in upcoming two-three years
I can tell they have a good product already, people are into it so it's giving me great vibes
so that's why i picked them for now, I can see the potential and the team is moving in right direction, they listen to ppl and the most important they deliver a good product
ppl like it, ppl come and test it out ad tell others, this is how it works
great things take time, it's not a fast food mate

I have been pursuing a number of such projects, since its appearance until now nothing special the ways that I am attracted to the idea and the attitude of working in the team makes me always believe in Surname.
The market can take a number of different approaches to profit, and so investing does not need to force itself to follow the formula or follow the crowd on short-term things.
I have also had the great feeling of witnessing a number of projects in this market PUMP thanks to the hype following the signals, which, although previously paid off, was an enjoyable experience for me. various ways of exposure to various things in the crypto space.

Now it's not uncommon to see people getting impatient and looking for a quick return on their investment despite being aware that certain projects take time to develop and develop. Yes. Investing in projects with long-term potential may not pay off immediately, but it can offer substantial returns in the future. Whatever it is. Patience and a strategic mindset are key in an investment that has the potential to outperform the market for several years. Trading is an exercise in patience and meditation of the mind :D :D.

of course, because I like to take risks, but I still DYOR before investing in a new project, so if I believe the project is good and can give me a big profits in the future, then I will definitely invest in the project and ready to wait for a long time until the project to succeed (although the risk is very big and I might lose my money), but I'll still take the risk (high risk high return).

On your point about "long-term" investment being whittled down to weeks, it's a trend that's disturbingly pervasive. It's clear that a significant number of investors are succumbing to the pressure of immediacy, unwilling to let a project mature. Rome wasn't built in a day, nor are most successful blockchain projects. Investing in the cryptos requires more than a keen eye for projects with potential. It necessitates the stomach to weather market fluctuations and the patience to see through the project's development. Alas, we seem to have bred a generation of traders with the attention span of a goldfish, constantly chasing the next shiny coin. Watching projects 'PUMP' due to hype and FOMO can indeed be fascinating, but as they say, "easy come, easy go." Nothing replaces the deep satisfaction of seeing a project you believed in from the start bear fruit after years of dedication and development.

Oh boy did i invest to one of those. Waiting over 5 years for mainnet with at the same time, team has total tranparency, constant development, talented devs and original idea. My faith is stuggling sometimes.
But when the product is something never done before, it's so cutting edge that absolutely nothing can go wrong, especially when it's planned to slowly launch for multi trillion dollars industry. I just have to accept that no one can see the unseen hurdles of the future, and it's really hard to set any deadlines.

At least they have been trying to be regulatory compliant from the start so it won't crash right there.

You can check the roadmap, legit projects have a roadmap to follow, while pump-and-dump project uses hype and shilling as their method of adoption.

Between the two, projects with roadmap are worth following and investing they are more concentrated on building their community and testing their platform, which is why legit projects have testnet and mainnet to build their platform, they are more concentrated on long terms.

Well to this day even some devs are just failing to deliver well. Considering that AI is already here to either aid or kill the dev market, I am expecting that people would still be hesitant to invest in newer projects these days. There would be transparency but how can we ensure that the "transparency" is authentic as fuck?

I can imagine that there would still be projects that would just die out or get abandoned just like how products of Google just died out one by one and yeah I just happened to learn that there were so many products that they killed long time ago. It could happen to any sort of legitimate project as well, don't you think? :)

At the end of the day most coins do not really solve any kind of real problem which is why they cannot gain long term support from their users, after all how many times do we need for the same coins to be reinvented all over again? At some point people simply become skeptic about those coins and prefer to stick with the ones they know, and while the adoption of this market keeps growing and this allows new coins to survive, at some point the adoption will slowdown, once a great deal of the population around the world gets into this market, and when that happens most of those coins will disappear and there will not be any new coins to take their place.

Well even if they solved the problems and would be unique solutions, that's doesn't necessarily show as green in the price charts. Adoption can't really happen without finished product, so i have invested speculative value because i believe that those devs are working hard with the problem others don't tackle. Some big coins have been even using their code.

I am just looking for elsewhere as well, trying to look for new innovations that would rule the next cycle, last time i got lucky and got excited about nfts in 2019 so i got in early.

That is what everyone should do, I don't say that everyone should invest in new projects but once they do their research and evaluate a project thoroughly, if they feel satisfied and find the project to have enough potential to have significant growth in the future, there is no harm in throwing in a few bucks just to try out your luck. One shouldn't invest a lot of money in new projects, just a small percentage of the capital so that if the project succeeds, one gets good returns and if it fails, there won't be much harm.

Those who know they don't know how they should do research about a project or how they can know if it has the potential or not should simply stay away from new projects and stick to the old and trusted ones to avoid losses.

Well, can't blame those investors that are into new projects. That's how they see things with the newer projects because it's what it should be. Most new projects are just short-term because eventually they will lack liquidity and that's why the earlier they can be out, they'll be out. It's what they've seen from the past projects because of the developers and investors doing the same things again and again, they're making new projects cash projects as what they think to be and they're doing it before anyone else go out first. Yeah, it may be true that a project may take time to become successful but that's the developers have to deal with.

It depends on the team behind the project and the project road map.
If I am satisfied with the project ideas and I trust the project team, I can be able to be patient and invest in the project pending till when the project will come to bright future.

Investing in any project that may take years to outshine the market can be a valid investment strategy for certain individuals. It's also known as a long-term investment approach, where investors believe in the potential of the project and are willing to hold onto their investments for an extended period, despite short-term fluctuations. Remember this strategy requires patience, thorough research, and a strong belief in the project's long-term prospects .But it is mostly proven to be very profitable in the long term.

Well, if it is guaranteed in the next five years then why not, right? But sadly that is not the case since there are no guaranteed in the world of cryptocurrencies and that makes it even harder to find that project or specific coin that will outshine some coins in the market in the next couple of years and will be give us promising returns for holding out. So, it is still advisable, well for me, to invest in top altcoins and bitcoin so that the risks are minimized.

honestly i wouldn't waiting for a coin for long term without even knowing whether the coin gonna grow is such a really bad planning honestly.
i'd just settle with other coin that gaining good enough within just short term. with altcoin, you don't even know if coin could even exists for that long.

Blaming them won't help and it was not your money that they are investing. As long as they know what they are doing which I think is correct, then there is no problem with that. It only becomes a problem if we hold a new project for too long because like you said, most of them are just scams. If we want to HODL a coin for the long term, we are more sure with the coins that we already knew the most.

When it comes to success, I think there are two types of it. One is short term and the other one is long term. Obviously a long term one is better and a project can start poorly but they shouldn't give up. As long as people are supporting them, they should use it as motivation to try harder.

I’ll invest in the project that has a product to come out and more to develop, NeonLink has 3 games to come out, it’s a huge amount of work not a fast thing that’s for sure
Sometimes you gotta wait for something good

I can't help but agree with you that not all cryptocurrencies are worth being held for a long term, most of them are good and profitable only for the short term and one should use them that way, except for a few tokens that have been around for years. Altcoin projects that launch newly in the market couldn't be trusted with our money to be put in them and kept for years.

If I was to choose between a new altcoin with a great market cap and trading volume against an old altcoin with maybe a bit lower stats than the new one, I would still choose the old one if I'm about to hold it for long because I believe old coins can perform anytime in the future while new ones might not.

I really much appreciate with you. If your observation can't see the future then you can fail in the every step of your project. So you need much time to observe or realise the future about your project.

It depends on the age of the investor.

Nowadays, some of the investors see crypto as a get-rich quick scheme, and maybe that's also the reason why most of them can't even commit to hold a coin for long term. I agree with what you said that a project takes years to develop that's why most of the projects are creating their project first then launching it to the public, so that it will not take too much time to develop because that might affect the trust of the investors. Well, let's also add the risks of it as well. We know that a project can just run away not leaving any traces at all. We know that a project that has been existing for years can just abandon the coin, leaving the investors, and run away with the money that they got. This is also the reason why investors don't have the patience to hold a coin for a very long time unless it's been existing for a very long time, and many people trust it.

Some project really needs time to build, and shape I agree. On the other hand, if you will continue to develop your project, and people see it beneficial to their everyday lives for whatever reason it is, they will support that project, hold the coin for maybe mid to long term. As for me, I'm at my mid-20's, so I can still risk some of my money to some new projects, but I opted not too because I'd rather invest it into some old projects, and some dividend paying stocks out there.

Is it really the investors’ fault for expecting quick returns? Or is it the system that feeds on their impatience? Crypto, by its very nature, is volatile, explosive, unpredictable. People are drawn to that wild, untamed potential for fast gains, arent they? Crypto is like the wild west of investing! Quick money, big risks. That’s why the older, more "traditional" projects seem too slow for some. Its not entirely about trust issues, man, it's about the rush, the potential for instant profit.

Projects running away, abandoning coins, breaking trust – you cant put that on impatient investors, can you? That's an issue with the projects’ integrity, not the temperament of the investors! Its high time we stop victim-blaming and put the responsibility where it belongs – with the project developers!

The controversial issue here is that how sure is it going to happen that the project will definitely whine after years of waiting and not turn to wasted time effort and money, someone like me can go for it but the problem is that there's no guarantee in cryptocurrency altcoins, everyone is doing nothing than taking their own risk, even the developers are busy doing nothing than to avoid mistakes and are taking risk to maintain their project to keep running.

Investing in cryptocurrencies is very risky and of course there are no guarantees,
if someone says that the altcoin is guaranteed to go up in the next few years, of course that is a liar,
because indeed altcoins do not have that guarantee. What can only make prices rise is project development.

This is one of the most obvious signs the project is a scam, after all the developers can only promise to do their best in order for the coin to reach the goals they set for it and hope for the best, however if they promise the project will definitely become successful then you know you are dealing with a bunch of scammers, or at least with developers which have no idea of what they are doing, as it is obvious this is not something anyone can guarantee at all.

If it would surely bloom them what's the rush?
If it could steadily grow and secure it's place in the future then I don't really care if it would take years as long as the project would survive and grow.
Bitcoin took years to grow so don't expect that alt coin could do it in just a short spam of time.

Bitcoin does not have a team that oversees its development and promotion, so the comparison in this case is not correct. Altcoin can make a rapid growth in a short period of time. For example, the same PEPE managed to do that, or SHIB. Bitcoin took about 8 years to make a million percent profit, altcoins took less than a year to do so. Altcoins grow much faster than bitcoin, but they also lose their value at exactly the same rate.

This is true. The value of altcoin can grow exponentially for a very short amount of time and lose it's value at same time. There are only few percentage of altcoin that really retained their value over the years of existing. This is people who is really eager in getting profit only target altcoin investments as it grows fast and massive. This is why I don't invest on altcoins that has a low current value after having a very high all time high on it's peak. The chance of them gaining back their prime is a very small chance. Majority of altcoins are pretty disposable.

Long term goal to achieve is not an easy thing to do. Most people are not good long investment but they are good in short term investment. So if anyone is not good in long term investment and can not be patient enough to reap labour then the person should invest in trading. Trading is a short term business. If you know that the project you investing in will give you what you want in life then you have be patient to do. But if you can't then go for short term investment. All is choice.

I agree with you. Many people are too impatient and expect quick returns from their investments. They don’t realize that building a successful project takes time and effort. They should have a long-term vision and support the project they believe in.

A powerful project no need long time for hit so if a smart investers taken good project at this moment then he can make profits. Some of people loss there money because unknowingly review and weakness idea about crypto market. So that's why need more learning about crypto market for new crypto investors.

There are many nuances here. It is worth considering when the price was at its peak. If, for example, it happened last year and the price fell by 90% or more, it might be a good investment. If the altcoin price peaked 3 or 4 years ago, and after that it never rose to those values again, then I agree here, it is better to stay away from that altcoin, because it is unlikely to show any good growth in the future.

This is hard to change for most of the investors that are only here for the quick profits. That's why they're looking for those projects that are hype and making a noise because they can make quick profits from it.

Actually, everyone knows that building a good and working project takes time. But you can't beat the system that everybody also thinks about one thing, making money.

You are right in saying that in the cryptocurrency market everyone is trying to get quick profits, and many end up losing money and becoming disillusioned with cryptocurrency. I also agree with you that a good project needs development, which sometimes takes more than a year or two. But there is a paradox here. While one project is developing and making a product, several other projects may appear in its place. In the crypto world, projects don't live long; technologies become obsolete very quickly and something new is constantly emerging. There is a lot of competition.

That is why we need to follow projects that we've invested we need to check if they are following their roadmap or intentionally delaying it, and check the kind of characters the developers have, if they do not update the community, you have something to worry especially if the projects come from crowdfunding, you should be quick in your observation and do not have an attachment to projects so you can quickly dump.
The worse thing is being late to dump and you are left with bags of useless tokens.

That's the real scenario in the market. There have been projects that are existing before they become known and yet a rising star project is being recognized for that moment.

It is one reason why many project developers are very quick in taking leads of the path of their project. They're like taking a shortcut in execution and that leads them to being questioned if they're serious with their projects.

You can't really judge people on thinking that. The whole crypto rich myth as build on getting rich over night because some people have done it. EVERYONE i know has came into crypto other than devs has become in because they wanted to get rich.

I see those people in low- and microcaps, but they are a minority or they are not as loud as sensible hodlers. Somehow every new lowcap token out there thinks it's reasonable to have over $100M marketcap. And if they are going past that, they will start to talk about being next shiba, or eth killer.

I would, but how could they convince me to do that? That's the thing, you can't just say "invest in us today and you will outshine the market in 5 years", I can say "no, you invest in me and I can outshine the market in 24 hours and give you a million dollars per day starting tomorrow", would you believe me? Just because yours is more believable, doesn't mean it's real, so saying "it might take a few years to outshine the market" is not the point, that is a good statement and if I trusted it then I would wait and invest, hell I am willing to hold my bitcoins 20 more years, so why not.

The problem would be convincing people that it would outshine, what if you fail? What if it doesn't outshine? Its not the waiting, it's trusting the statement, and I wouldn't right now.

100% yes!
I’d go for the upcoming trend, here you gotta use more knowledge and research more and more
I think it’s hard to guess, you gotta know
I know that web3 will be a trend in 1-2 years
It’s obvious, that’s why I’m into researching projects like NeonLink and others
The ones that bring technology boom to us
New features and cool stuff
If you do it now, you’ll be very and very thankful and grateful later
Depends on what you’re looking for! Someone’s feeling comfortable with easy fast money
Someone like researching and finding game changers in each area
See? I’d definitely wait, it overpays in the future

That's the dilemma of most investors to a new project. As they usually have hard time sustaining their presence themselves.
Also, most projects have short lifespan because of their developers, as they want to just pocket money as much as they can.
Once they got a hold of their money, they seemingly don't want to push thru the project and eventually abandon it.
How could you trust these guys then? Let alone wait for so many years, you will likely end up holding worthless coins or tokens.
We have seen such catastrophe countless times, and I don't think there will be a change on this matter.

If we are talking about the investing then so it be.
I don't see any short term profit if i talking about investing.
Investing is about patience and long term, but most of us has a wrong mindset.
They think investing is only about 1 or 2 weeks then it can make him become rich.

When there a discussion about cryptocurrency projects we have to take a background study to know possible prospect in that coin they are introducing before investing on them, if they have a long time opportunity and future that is realistic then weay consider them base on this and the developers behind the project as well, a good crypto projects will definitely stay long and have more advantages for profitability to it investors while the ones we cannot arrived at the major aims may not last, we hodl because we wanted to maximize the increase potential for higher profitability, so why not holding it it requires doing so and the project is not fake.

If i had the certainty that in the very distant future the altcoin in which I invested will reach a certain value I would not have an imminent need for liquidity, certain projects take a long time to be successful

there should be other question though, it's good and fine if the project that's supposed to be hold for long term is turning out to be profitable but if the project turns out to be massive disappointment then you've literally wasted so many times.

That is now the mindset of people nowadays they are after on the fast profitability, which is very risky if the project is not supported by reputable it might end up scam and you might loose all your investment if you invest unto it. That is true that some project need a lot of time to build and develop. I might invest in a project if it is backed up and developed by people who have a very good reputation in the industry. I don't care how long it will but as long as long as it a clear roadmap, composed of a great team and if it is supported by the crypto enthusiast i will invest unto it. But of course before investing we need to evaluate first if it is really worth it to invest.

I'm not of these people for me it takes time for a project to mature and completed its roadmap, those projects that promise weeks to shine in the market are pump-and-dump projects, if you check the roadmap of legit projects, you will see that it takes 3 to 5 years to the most before they shine and reach its potential the developers are not in a hurry because they know even Bitcoin take three years to get the world's attention.

There are thousands of projects here in the crypto industry. I also made a lot of start-up investments in the past but lately, it is getting more difficult to analyze if a project will live up to its hype or not. So now I am just investing in projects that are already in the market, especially the top ones.

We have to understand that a project might have a great goal and be very useful but it also needs a community to support and investors as well to keep it alive while the product is being developed. The only project that I might invest in now is a play-to-earn. I know it is very risky but I missed playing games that have the potential to give you rewards.

I always divide cryptocurrency into two halves: Bitcoin for long term investment and altcoins for short term investment. I refer altcoin for short term investment, because a lot of new trends, projects and ideas appear all the time. Altcoins dont have time to blossom or gain full strength, when something new appear and replace or improve original idea. Bitcoin has proved its success for ages. That is why I dont concider investing in an altcoin, that will take years to outshine the market. Because when it will be ready to outshine, there will be someone else that will promise more and better.

Believe in the power of professionalism, there is only one long-term or short-term purpose and that is profit.  Risks beyond our control are also relative

Thats it. When we talked about Investing isn't about days, weeks, or months. We are talking about the Years. So i prefer to invest into the coin with big potential and it's okay if it gonna take a long time to shine in the market.

The development of the project depends too much of the conditions of cryptocurrency market. When market falls it is too hard to develop the project because there is not enoungh money for development and there is no so much attention to cryptocurrency.

I think it's because of the current reality of crypto market, some project most especially the meme coins, they makes a huge a amount of profit within weeks and months and people apply same mentality to everyone project, everyone wants quicks return on their investment than waiting for years

they have to understand that meme coin means short term investment,
sometimes i traded meme coins for 1 hour when i see good time to sell with enough profit,

but people can not profit for their panic mentality, if they see market is a bit dumping, they will attempt to sell their coin in lower price from their buy bid,

If you are a long-term investor yes, you need to follow it because if not then you are more like a short-term investor only. You better be like this if you don't have a patient to HODL longer.

You still can earn something on this term but as long as what you are holding are coins which are proven to have a potential already. Bitcoin is a coin that can work for short mid and longer terms. this is coin is also suitable for all investors whether you are just a starter or if you have a long-term experience already in this market. People shouldn't complicate things anymore on deciding if which cryptos they are going to pick but they can just pick Bitcoin right away.

It is better to research the situation in the crypto market and then invest and not to wait too long for the altcoins market. Also if you are getting profit in less time then sell quickly. In my opinion only btc you can hold for long time but better not to buy now. Also you can trade side by side but definitely efficient.

And also most of the new projects nowadays doesn't even survive within few years. I don't think currently they would make it past few weeks because all of the new projects are just the same and they don't need to build everything because all they need to do is just to scam people for some easy money. If you see that type of project then just leave it there, don't give them any chance.

It's because the market has been saturated already, there are a lot of copycats projects right now. And so obviously the first one and the original are the one that is going to survived in this game for the long run.

And most of the established projects have been put up way back 2017, and with that competition are very tough for new projects to make a name for itself.

Unless you created a new hype like Axie in 2020 or at least prior the big bull run. So it really depends on the project itself if it has hype and can back it up or the project is unique and has use case.

I agree with your opinion, because what is meant by long term is investment for the next few years, but now many people hope to get rich instantly in cryptocurrency and of course if we want to invest in cryptocurrency for the long term, then we have to choose projects that are active and have progress, so that in the future the price of cryptocurrency that we invest still has the opportunity to increase and provide profit.

considering the facts that newer coins generally nowadays have shorter time of reaching all time high I don't think that will be worth it honestly.
then again even how you can be so sure it will outshine the market after few years instead of getting forgotten by many which means its gonna get delisted, because few years is too long of a time.

A very normal act to be done by most investors on which having that short patience when it comes to things on which it would really be just that normal that people would be saying that they could wait for long term
but on the time that they have seen that the project they had invested into doesnt really able to make out some updates or having no progress in following into their roadmap then this is where anxiety and
being worried is really taking place. On the time that you are seeing that there's no movement then this is the time you would be might be cutting loss and would really be tending to invest into
other projects which you do seem to be worth.
Choosing the right project would be always a challenge because we know that we do have thousands of projects that we do have in the market and choosing those newly launched and offering something incredible
doesnt always mean that they would succeed out. There are tons of them which are really just that only good when it comes to promises but ending up on failing to deliver on what should
things to be done.

Well you won't blame them because of the current pattern, where some meme coins will make make some massive profit after listing, so no body is willing to have all the patience needed to wait for years to get profit, everybody wants profit now. It's just the current trend now

it's true that projects take years to become hugely popular, and come with a hefty price tag. despite that, the progress was evident each year. an example is ethereum or BNB. Every year, the progress of the project is very clear, and the price is also quite good.
Currently, there are many investors who hope that the price of the coin they invest will increase quickly, even when it is listed on the market, they want a high price. that's not wrong, but sometimes a good project can see its development in the next few years. well, as long as the project is still being developed, I think the quality and price will definitely go up.

It is necessary to have an enough experience to invest money in the long term projects that will be popular and in the demand for a long time. It is very important to evaluate the future potential of the coin to evaluate its future potential.

All investments can take a very long time before you get any income. So now there is an interesting option like web3 quest from TFS, where you can participate in their contests on their platform and get part of the prize pool now, it's basically like a giveaway

I checked, there really is a high chance of getting part of the prize there because it's easy to earn xp

It is true that if no investment is made in any new project, no new project will come in the market, but at the same time it is also true that new projects are most likely to deceive the investors. There are many new projects in which the investors have been cheated by investing due to which most of the investors now refrain from investing in new projects. When investing in new projects, investors are usually given big offers, but later when a big investment is seen in that new project, the project team scams the project. So never invest in new projects without knowing well.

Cryptocurrency industries market is where patients really applied on when it comes for new coin's crypto investment, it under goes process, before the coin will be fully established in the cryptocurrency market, like wise other alt-coins in the market that has session of Bull Run and Bear market, and if you can bear with, cryptocurrency is on the Bear market and is good to buy and hold for a long term. 

Understand that people are here for different reasons. Some are here for the quick bucks; they wanna make it quick, they don't have time to hold any token for long. Then, there are some that have been holding some coins for long just because they believe so much in the team and the future that lies ahead for that project.
But then, even team members of a project gets to abandon the project along the road and move on. And sometimes this can adversely affect the success of that project.

The reason for that is not far fetch most especially when their investment is in altcoin, because altcoins are more unless a gamble and highly speculative so at that the investor will not have that chance to hold for a long term up to a year or so because you may end up losing everything while holding an altcoin for that long.

But you will find out that most of those holding for the long term are mostly holding good coins like Bitcoin and a few other potential altcoins and the reason is not different from what I stated earlier.

That's why there's a roadmap and investors should carefully analyze the roadmap as it can dictate the price pump timeframe if their roadmap is followed strictly. It will all depends on the project but if it's like a very good project, holding dor long is a no brainer given that the price has a higher chance to go up as their product are being develop. Majority of top tokens are still on developing phase and there are no signs that they plan to stop their project as they have a solid community waiting for their product.

Getting rich isn't subject to what cryptocurrency you choose to invest in but it depends on your luck when it comes to investments, I know that many people say that you get success if you work hard, I do believe in that too, but that doesn't apply in things like online trading or investments, and getting rich from these things depends on how lucky you are because you might invest in a project that gives you significant gains in a very short period of time.

On the other hand, some projects might even get you losses even after you wait for years, so it all depends on your luck, but if you are choosing to invest in a cryptocurrency that is already established, you can at least rest assured that you won't have to face any losses in that case.

Off course time is important for a project to manage itself, whether it would be a long term project, or I can say it would be a short term. But, we if a project is not fulfilling its promises again and again and the managers are ignoring someone messages then it will affect some projects reputations as I can say.
