Crypto start-ups receiving copious funding

[mu_enrico]

Ah, this is when the famous phrase "it's like the dotcom bubble" starts echoing.
I think it's normal when a new and hyped tech receives massive funding, but we can also expect most of them will end up fail (just like others have pointed out).
This period is like the golden age of crypto startups, so better participate as a cryptopreneur (ethical of course)! However, IMO the 2017/2018 period is more massive than today, or maybe I just feel nostalgic?

It is reasonable and logical because most of them are making a ton of money back for the investors.
What you should realize is that most investors only care about their returns and not how well the future is holding for the project. If they could make some profit back then that is all they care about. Of course, most of the time it means that the project is doing well, but they could literally support a scam that pays them back if it means they profit from it.

So, crypto sphere is a place where you could invest into startups, they could build a simple exchange, literally something thousands do, and if they could get enough volume then you would get profit forever, it is a great business.

Lastly, Bitcoin will benefit from additional visibility in any case and this may contribute to the ecosystem insofar any of the future giants ops for offering services or bring more marketcap in general.

Well, we can say that Bitcoin benefits from all the stories around! Bitcoin was connected, and misinterpreted, with many scams... but in the end, all that was just free marketing! Who did quick research would find out that it was some anonymous crypto scam that has nothing with Bitcoin actually!

Many of us are in crypto for years, and who expected to see Doge at this price? Where this DeFi comes from? Squid meme coin, along with Shiba Inu, is making a progress!? I guess it's the same old, there were good projects out there often followed by many scams projects! At least we in crypto know how this game is being played... This will last for years, and we will see many more projects with copious funding, and all kinds of funding... be sure in that!

Crowding projects are mostly scams and they take our money and forget about the development of the project. Some may be honest and good ones but it is difficult to find them.

Crowdfunded projects are another level of scams and searching for a project worth funding yourself means trying to look for a needle in a haystack, added on top the incessant hype-promotions done by "Influencers" only adds to the cesspool of information that one needs to go through before making a decision, very rarely can anybody make an unbiased decision to fund or not.

Rather then spending on the crowd funding, i keep an eye on new projects listing on exchanges and then invest in the good ones.

Even if a project gets listed on an exchange, does that mean the project is worth investing in? No. Dont forget the term called delisting and exchanges delist coins when they stop getting their fees from the project or get a hint that the project might be a scam/vaporware. To be able to consider a project worth buying, you need to have contact with their developers and whether the project really solves a problem instead of beating round the bush. But this rarely is done by investors, they are all in it for the quick cash grab.

I understand this that exchange can delist the project after it is listed but these are rare cases. Also i think no one invest for long term in any new project.
You can gain some money trading a new project and leave it before it get delisted or fail to deliver the milestones.

You would be wrong if you say "no one". Considering the majority of people buying into newly launched startups are also newbies in investment, the amount of fresh meat coming in is much higher then old meat. They are more likely to think of holding them for long term, not knowing that majority of the projects end up being pump and dump.

True, one can. But it is not always going to be that mindset for investors. With funding becomes relatively decentralized, unregulated assets come into the picture and with that the risks that they carry for gullible investors which they would not know coming from a regulated fiat market. To really get into that dump when the bubble biggest mindset, such investors would have to gain some experience and that costs on their already invested money.
