This year passed so early, you posted this thread in February and it's November 13! But the altcoin market still has this question/confusdion~! What happened to the new projects as most of them are a shit, scam. I saw the Jinbi coin, it's price was very high when it launched on an exchange but that was for a very limited time. This year only a very few altcoins have come, though many altcoins gave profit to its investor, but not all alts were good. Right now, Alchemy seems a good new alts.
Yeah, every time I read familiar posts in this forum I realize how quickly time passes. I still remember getting into Bitcoin like it was a few weeks ago. I still remember 20k Bitcoin, I still remember 3k Bitcoin.
And each time along the cycle, I see all these altcoins crop up. Thankfully, much less these days but every time we get a mini recovery in crypto, people start to go crazy again for all these worthless coins.
