Don't follow the hype

[melomanskiy]

The topic is more suitable for new investors. In my opinion, anyone who has experience in investing will not be scattered about money to the right and to the left. One of the main rules of profitable investment is the selection of good projects. Actually the selection by itself and implies a complete analysis and study of all the nuances.

Hyped projects does not guarantee it success so don't fall for those pranks. For all you will know the hype is from within and just going viral with it. Always go for the real and serious project with clear and attainable visions. Most project don't really deserve their current hype.

It is always necessary to select projects as there is a lot of swindle now in the market , but I think it is possible to invest in ieo as the sensation very big goes

I really like the opinion on doing your own research rather depending on ICO rating sites to make investment. Investment is a calculated risk by an investor who has time to research into whatever project he or she feels safe to invest in based on the analysis he or she made out of the research and cannot blame anyone for his loss whatsoever happens.

Right from the onset, those who find hype very much useful , are traders and perhaps those who intend investing for short term gain. Then it does not  work well as it used to, although it cannot be totally avoided, except you choose not to invest in any project. The only is for us to be careful.

If funds rise isn't successful, start hype news to funds rise. Smart investor never do invest any hype news. Best is your research by experience in history.

I am agree, many coin or token are pump and dump. Long term investment is wise decision because we are investing on the technology and the project. If the project success and used by peoples, i am believe the price will following and keep increase. But we should research to find good project because there is more than 2000 token in market

Hype is sometimes profitable and harmful. If we follow their program since the first launch, I suggest, just follow it for 1-2 months. Then after that you come out. And remember not to invest in large amounts, because the risk will be even greater.

Hm, you can remember the situation with Bitcoin in 2017. It was hype. People, who followed it (but were enough smart to sell BTC in time) managed to make a lot of money. However, hype can be harmful

We can follow hype but follow it smartly, everything has its good side and its bad side, same as hype, some people followed hype in that 2017 and was lucky, while some followed hype blindly, and they got burned. Bitcoin is even worth following its hype when it has not gotten to the pick.

For other coins too, some people are too smart to follow hype, using some shitcoins as example, I have traded some shitcoins and made money, I already knew about their strategy and I didn’t just invested in them immediately, once they enter exchange, I wait to see hype start reflecting on the market, I make move to buy, then in the middle of the hype, I dump the coins, while some people will follow the hype to the end till they lose out completely.

I for one dont like to pursue the hype, in such a case that we pursue the hype toward investments, unquestionably you will get a major misfortune, for instance some coins in its primary day hype was have an incredible potential to benefit, and after that you came at the multi day of the promotion and after that some way or another show up an awful news about that coin, and obviously you will be disappointment at last.
Some Individuals dependably endeavor to ride the wave and a great many people end up in misfortune just some of them are smart that realize when to take benefit.
I prefer to follow my own investment strategy of researching first before investing

in fact taking the moment must be more observant because we know that now there are so many disappointing investments. we ourselves have to be more careful in that matter so we can speculate to be able to get a profit beforehand. research as you say.

I think that following the hype is neither a bad thing nor a good thing. Before investing in a project try to dig deeper. What was the hype about and whether it is worth joining. Weigh your decisions. Similar with playing games think of the stakes and possible profits. Because if not, you will only suffer losses. Do not forget that the goal is to earn and for you to earn, you must be wise in your decisions.

[Akoldi_ibk]

I've been here for years and I can say that following the hype never works for investors, this is simply an advise.

Few examples: Synereo, Savedroid, Electroneum.

Even though these projects managed to get the money they needed and much more, they still didn't manage to deliver what they promised. Or in some cases, not even get listed in decent exchanges or give ROI back.

Cryptocurrencies are not going anywhere and there will be more and more ICOs until these things get regulated (maybe years from now). So If you're an investor and you don't want to stupidly lose your money in the process, I highly suggest everyone to start researching about the projects he's interested in instead of taking his decisions based on Tweets from McAfee, press releases, scores in Icobench, etc.

This is the best post am reading today which highlighted practical examples. I think developers and project team should stop giving false hope to investors by offering what they don't have or what they can't offer. But that will still continue until proper regulation is put in place.

[forexandcryptoauditor]

You are absolutely right about the current situation on hyped up projects.
Sometimes I feel like it's the strategy of the project marketing team to create hype and thus to attract more investors. Due to use of all kinds of social media campaigns, creating hype is simple. Once investors invest money in the project, after certain duration he or she realizes that the project is not worth to the extent the hype was created.
So investors should be very careful with selecting the genuine project by researching more about it.
Also not to invest whole money into single project.

I think at this time the development of ICO is not too good anymore because currently many projects are scam or fail, but now there is an IEO that helps to offer tokens that can provide benefits and can help avoid scam platforms.

[bitstalker]

I myself have not dared to try to follow the hype because some of my people saw a loss, the most deadly example of loss was when there were a lot of airdrop ignis and unlimited bitcoin events my friends suffered losses even reaching 50% more for BTU for now it looks like now 100% scam

but sometimes being careful also makes us too late to get a moment either because we are too afraid to take decisions.
so I think whatever we do as long as it's from each of us is not something bad.

[mickey_miner]

I agree with you, you always need to think and make decisions yourself. But many do not want to do so and so they decide to trust different sources, often it ends badly.

[Impaler]

Yes you are right. But we all know most of the people in this forum.
But maybe most of them will start to understand at one point that it's not good to follow the hype. But main problem is newcomers in this ecosystem. Most of then don't want to know this area, they think that they will put some money and will be rich overnight. And they always follow the hype , whatever anyone want to show them they saw it and think that would be easy money for them. But is this market only one thing matters that is knowledge. If you don't go for the hype or fud instead of you start research on what you invest in.

[Teawhalee]

Most times it dosent really end well for people who invest in over Hyip project especially newbies or people that are led by so called masters or experts in the field. Hyip is just a tool to get investors and it dosent make a project successful so people need to watchful.

[Moore234]

Hype sometimes works well, most especially when participating in bounties projects,  but sometimes it fails drastically. It has the advantages and its disadvantages though. You can be 100% right about hype some projects and can also be wrong,  while some investors loose to some projects due to the hype.

[xOdiumNostrumx]

The premise of the OPs post is true most of the time, but there are some exceptions (as always). Like the "hype" about Antshares (NEO) back in 2017, OmiseGo and some others. People said not to hop on the train on the top of the pump, it will consolidate for 50%, but it just continued to go higher and higher. But those instances are rare to find.
