Do you think Building a DApp is easy ?

Do you think that building a DApp is an easy task ?

A DApp basically contains three part

1. Front end (it could be a single page or multiple pages)
2. Back end (which deals with the smart contract using web3, abi or javascript json file)

So basically building a front end also requires alot of time and huge investment as DApp does not contain a server side database, instead it is a client side application which deals with the browser and retrieve data from the blockchain so the blockchain works as a database, when you use a website, the entire dapp downloaded to your browser, so even if you don't want to go always to that domain, you can simply download that dapp and use your localhost to host it. Even no single developer or blockchain consultant will share this information for free, and building a simple voting dapp requires alot of investment, greater than $100 and if you work on complex dapps, like etherdelta, idex, cryptokities game etc then it requires around thousand to million of dollars. so if you think that launching an ICO generate money out of thin air, then you are totally wrong.

People who are still Opening up ICOs with Dapps/tokens created out of a thin air are probably late for the party now. Back in 2017... One had a chance of making hundreds of dollars with project that had not working product at all. Just a website, tokens and maybe whitepaper and you were go to go.
Newbies would spend recklessly on shitcoins but that's not the case any more... The 2018 bare market exposed how ugly shitcoins can be and most people are now a little bit more careful with money

All those projects were failed because of bad marketing, all those projects are created as a quick money making scheme or by dumbest people of the world

Just look at those projects,

Total supply 2 billion, 4 billion, 100 billion etc
Coin Price 1 dollar, 2 dollar, 1 eth = 100 tokens, 500 tokens, wax distributed 1500 tokens for 1 eth etc

& if you look at the business, do you think that has it a demand ?

Just if you consider, back in 2013, when there was only the web 2.0, When we were creating websites, then what we do is to marketing, advertisements, etc

Now what happened here, last year Google banned ICO ads, Facebook did the same, which lost many investors, many project gone, all this happened because of fucking US govt, they even banned the bitconnect while they had no right to ban it as it was not based on US, if they wanted to stop their own people, they were able to stop their own people so they could not be able to invest in those ponzy schemes, All this made investors to loose faith in crypto and ico. So this situation just affected blockchain investors and make their mind as all the blockchain based projects are fake and if you enter in one, then just getout after making some quick cash.

easy and independent of the developer, because the core of the project depends on the developer, if the developer is professional then Dapp is not a serious problem, and may even have other products,
so, looking at the background of the team is very necessary in this regard.

On upwork people are charging $10K/H to $15K/H, and the minimum is around $5000/H, just consider that we hire a developer in $1K/Hour, so a basic DApp requires around 1 month, 1 month = 24x30 = 720K around a million dollar investment for just a simple DApp is required and most of such developers are busy all the time, you cannot hire them so you have to go and find locally, in the US the local developers charge around 1 to 5 BTC per hour (minimum) so you need atleast 1000 of btc, or if your project is complex then you have to spend 10K BTC

It is absolutely not going to be easy for a novice or a newbie but it will be absolutely easy for a professional developer to build and when I say pro developer, I mean the real pro one because it is not every developer that you see in the market knows what they are doing, some of them are basically just doing try and error and that is why we usually have some bad project too, it contributes to it a lot.

The best you can do is to first make sure that you get the thorough knowledge of it and don’t just go into trying to build one except maybe you are just doing so for trial or test, but for a pro application, it is very important that you go through the learning stage and get some practical experience before you engage yourself into something like that.
