Anonymous a red flag?

[TheGreatPython]

I'm doing a research on a new project right now and I see that the team decide to go anonymous, is staying anonymous a red flag for newbies?

That’s always a huge red flag for me, I don’t invest in projects that the devs are anonymous and trying to tell something to me lol, that would be stupid, I don’t care if it’s cryptocurrency, if you’re going to be selling anything to me I should at least know who you are and your social media pages to verify your claims of who you are before I think of whether I should be investing in that project that you’re trying to market to me.

Of course I have seen projects that are anonymous and became successful, but few of them, and scammers are now just trying to take advantage of that being anonymous of a thing to scam everybody and get away with it. So if you really care about your money and you don’t want to lose it, then I suggest you leave that project , there are so many other projects that are in the market.

Anonymous might not be a red flag, but the devs that want to stay anonymous is the red flag, coin itself is perfectly nice to be anonymous, I think some people don’t understand the title, it didn’t state the coin itself is based on anonymous algorithms, it state the devs itself want to be anonymous while their coin may not be anonymous at all, it’s ridiculous when devs asking a lot of money to back their vapourware, think no further, nobody should give anyone large amount of money, it’s not even the point of crypto, crypto is supposed to be a currency, but ICO has give it a rather distasteful title.

specially for alts project.!!!
to me anonymous is scam. altz is just a game not for longterm that why the devs choose to be anonymous.
2016-2017 will not be repeated..!!!
that why there is no altseason..!!!
gaining the trust of a partner can be difficult if choose anonymous.

Depends on the anon level to me. If you are talking about knowing the first name and last name and all KYC and basically knowing where it is based? You do not need that at all, who would need that, I think giving that much information just because you are creating a project doesn't mean anything at all. However if you mean not even knowing their telegram username? That makes zero sense to me.

There are projects with "community manager" as the owner and admins of the telegram group because the real creators of the project are fully anon, that means it is not good, because I would like to at least learn their username, that is literally bare basic minimum requirement for me, you could start literally a brand new account on telegram for this, and if you do not even do that, it means you are a scammer in my mind even if you are not. Which is why there is a level to anonymity and sometimes it's okay, sometimes it's not.

Anonymous is not red flag, also Satoshi was anonymous but you need to do DIOR. Many Defi projects were anonymous devs and it was a success.
More important factor is trust build by an anonymous dev.

You can't compare bitcoin to the shit currency we have out there, bitcoin was self funded there wasn't any such thing as sales of tokens like private sales or public sales, so it's wrong to compare both, the current projects with anonymous teams are all out to make money from investors, they are hiding their identity  just incase they scam the investors there won't be any way to track them down.

I can’t believe some support anonymous devs.
Why would you do that? Anonymous could tell you to do everything nasty. I’m glad you are still doing fine today, because you would believe anonymous who tell you to bang the wall and stream it on for their entertainment.
