Fake projects die, investors will be more confident to be in this space as more serious projects will remain. Marketing is very important, but it is not in the first place.
Many projects have died because of the bear market. But now the market shows signs of stabilizing, it will probably not go down much more, so the only way to go is up and away!
I see a bull market for cryptos on the horizon and I'm looking forward to it. It should be a glorious time had by all. And I hope the ICO projects will also be restored.
I am just doing the most to maximise my acquisitions of projects I believe will hold long term value. To the best of my ability, I will try and dollar-cost average and hold for the best.
As the same occurs with internet, crypto creates a huge massive expansion in 2017. After that many projects are disappearing and the most awesome are continuing to exist.
The sky was the limit in 2017. It is standard fare in the history of financial markets. After a period of major expansion, comes a period of consolidation.
The entire point of blockchain and decentralization is to develop a trust. If you are here to exploit the system the system will weed you out. That's the entire point of smart-money.
I believe holding strong coin will pay off big but if it doesn't then the worst thing that could happen is that the market disappears. I do not believe this will happen.
Here are some things that I look for when I decide a bounty is worthy. Active development team. The project team is public. Interesting partnerships. Not a long roadmap.
The situation reminds of 2014 - 2016. I believe that a quiet market and devs in the background building great things is the time to prepare for the next crypto bull run.
Losers in crypto are the ones who sold their coins on the way down, not only it shows they don't understand about investments, but also they had no idea what they were investing into.
