The Dev is not your friend, so be careful.

[Jentle]

If you see a new project and you are tempted to invest in it you are stupid because new projects require tough research first, there is a chance that the project is a scam so before clicking the buy button you have to be sure what you are getting into.

Developers are here to make money, let that sink into your head, if we turn the table around and you become a dev yourself will you work for free? So it's always about the money.

I disagree with the fact that only stupid people are tempted to invest in a new project.

Often as a newbie, when you see a new project you are tempted to invest in it. Why I agree that not all new projects are scam, always ensure that you do your own research before putting your hard earn money into a project, otherwise you will wake up to discover that the devs have disappeared with your money.

I have a personal experience, a friend and a mentor told me about a new project that was looking very promising, he advised that I invest in it. So, I did even without doing my little investigating, not too long, the dev pulled out liquidity and that was the end of the road for the project.

So, that's how I lost my investment in that project, though I didn't put much, just about 10$, but a lost is a lost.

 And if you must invest in a project you are not too sure of, always put something small, don't go all in, you might end up regretting.

Investing in new projects is really tempting considering the facts that you get to enter pretty early while the project is just coming to limelight.
However, the danger is that you might end falling for a scam, and lose all your  money.

These days, despite doing due diligence and researching about a new project, you might still fall for a scam.
So it is becoming very hard to tell a real from a scam project. And no matter your level of expertise, you might still fall

Agree, not all new projects are scams, you should remember that projects like ETH or ADA, and LTC... have all been new projects before and those who invested early in those projects are now just as rich as those who invested early in bitcoin. However, we should be aware of the fact that the market does not have any friends, all it has is its competitors, they win and we lose, and vice versa. We are all here for the money, if you can't take their money, they will take your money, and the money will go from the weak to the strong.

It is true that the current big project was a new project, it's just that what's different here is that the developer doesn't have bad intentions towards its investors. Not all new projects end in fraud, but the rise of new projects that end in fraud forces us to think that every time a new project appears, we think that the project will end badly. Here we need to learn that everyone has to be careful, I also agree that there is no such thing as a friend here, so make sure you are always ready.

Scammers will always look appealing and would even smile as if they're your friends just to gain your trust. In the crypto world, if you will be too soft, you will always fall into scammers arms. Never trust those who spread FUD and shillings even if they are close to you. Your own research will be more reliable than those who are trying to convince you to go in the wrong direction.
Not all projects are scams and some developing projects deserve a chance but being wise is an edge. By doing the research before investing, you'll surely have a little chance to lose your funds in scams and fake projects.

There is part of it that it is right, since even those knowledgeable and experienced investor would still look for cheaper and newer projects. Sometimes the maturity of the project results in lower returns due to a lot of shares that it will be given to the investor.

This is why even the experienced ones are still vulnerable to these kinds of stuffs, not just those stupid investor.

[Anonylz]

New projects are quite risky. Yes there are chances that you can earn a lot from a private series but it will depend on how promising the project are. Anyway theres a lot of factors to do and thats gonna be crucial when investing. $10 or $1k there is no difference but that will still be at risk, but gaining profits are also can be considered.

You need to have a lot of researches before putting any money on it.

Nowadays people (trader's especially) don't rely on promising projects or trusted dev team to earn good profits. All they need is the right tool to navigate and make their daily profits.
In other words, there are different approaches to achieve one's goal, good dev or not, all that is required is the right knowledge.
After these recent ugly events that occur in the crypto space, I trust on dev team reduces drastically.

Honestly, with this market situation I would not like to invest in new projects. Not all projects now can withstand the market, it will be very hard for me to trust projects now not unless the team members are visible to the world I mean they are not hiding with fake names, proven works, having a good knowledge not only in Dev, crypto but also have a good strategic planning when times get bad again. I don't invest to those projects that get only hyped because of influencers, I am looking for a long term one.

And this is the right thing to do, while I am not a fan of investing in so many coins during a bull market, I can in a way understand if someone wants to take a risk under those circumstances as almost everything is going up at the time, but during a bear market taking such a risk is simply unacceptable, I suppose the ones that are wiling to take the risk at this time are either too greedy or they really need to make some extra money, and they see in those altcoins a path in which they can somehow reach this goal.

[Ngemmeng]

To be honest, I'm not interested in investing in a new project through ICO IDO or any form of token sale before being listed on the exchange, I'm more interested in investing in a new project when it's already listed on the exchange. but before investing, of course I do research first to determine whether this project is suitable for long-term or short-term investment, or even not at all worthy of investment.
My advice to you is don't easily trust anyone, even if it's your friend or relative, because in crypto the risk is borne by each and anything can happen. So it's best to trust your own research

Because the basis of choosing a project is not only having good and trusted team members but investors will look deeper if this project really has the potential and remain valuable. And it is very unfortunate that almost all of these new projects are nothing and no working products,  we can't expect them to succeed either and give ROI to the investors. That is why research is highly advisable and we don't get fooled by the sweet promises that most developers are doing because, in the end, they will break those things and leave.

I refuse to call those people devs, as they are not developing anything, they never even meant to do so. Everyone who is pulling out liquidity is just a scammer. Anyone can create a token, you don't need to be a developer to do so. And these days they can pretty much do every step of design with ai. Make AI to write generic crypto whitepapers, roadmaps, descriptions... And spice it up with Midjourney's AI graphics. So they don't even have to even work on that anymore.

That's all they are. Scammers. Dev starts being Dev instead of scammer after he starts developing. That doesn't rule out scamming in the future though.

Lol. You may refuse to call them devs, but that doesn't change the fact that they developed something that turned out to be a scam.

Technology has really made it easy for any to just cook up nonsense all in the name of creating a token.

Yeah, some actually start with a good and descent intention but end up as scam for reasons only known to them.

[TribalBob]

doing a lot of research for one project is basically the obligation of investors, but if we have researched and searched for info, we are still hit by a scam from the dev, it is out of control in my opinion, so when you make a decision, never regret what will happen in the future
it's true that a dev isn't a friend but a dev can be said to be an enemy in disguise and it's hard to predict

Any investment is a risk. Investing in crypto projects is doubly risky.

I'm always surprised by these speeches about doing your own project research, even if you're new. This is wrong, since an adequate review requires certain knowledge, which newcomers will not have enough of and then another loss of money will happen.

Any developers and founders of projects have a geometrically opposite interest with their investors, which means that there can be no question of any trust in them. This is especially pronounced in scam projects.

Instead of doing nonsense and risking your money in new projects (with a dubious future), even small ones, isn't it better to invest in already proven and reliable ones that have proven themselves for decades? Why are you not satisfied with BTC?

[glendall]

Even close friends can not be trusted, too many fraudsters around us, especially when dealing with money,
  Invest in the main coin because as we know it has been decades for its launch, and until this moment it is still safe to be an investment,
rather than investing in new projects that do not have clarity

[mdzahed134]

Right now, i feel old or new both of can be SCAM anytime because when i remembered Luna and FTT these was billions dollar market cap, but now disappeared. Yeah, if comparing old and new project definitely new project is pretty high risk than old project. But i never invest my money by others people’s recommendation, i will own research before invest in new or old project.

When it comes to new projects, always invest what you can afford to lose whether its $10 or $100 it's not the amount but the mindset, the one thing that you should not do is regret, because if you keep regretting your decisions to invest in new projects you might end up getting enough even if you are presented with good projects that are worth investing so my advice is don't put your savings only money that you can afford to lose so you will be ok with your losses, because you will eventually find a new project that will give you good profit.

The size of a coin does not really tell you anything about its long term viability, just on the top 10 alone there are a few coins which I could see disappearing during the next decade, so I can conclude this is even worse when it comes to the coins outside the top 10, with this in mind it is critical to be as careful as possible right now, because you do not want to waste your money investing in altcoins which will disappear and leave you with nothing, when you can invest in bitcoin and take almost no risk at all at the current price.

There are lots of victims of this kind of method where the Dev and the telegram managers are being friendly in the AMA but the real thing is, they are luring their investors to trust them and to listen to every promise they made, and suddenly they will gonna stab them in the back by not doing anything about the project and leaving the project behind to fall. I had the same experience when attending an AMA event with the DEV of some NFT games and most of the time they will tell you about the things they will gonna do in the future but they have their own different agenda when it comes to stealing the money of their investors.

They are doing this just to look trusted and the group is active but once the participants fall into their trap, they'll gonna leave (exit scam).
Though I'm not going to say that they all are scams, there are many projects that are still left that can be trusted. But as we heard a lot of scam issues, trust is hard to be given especially in the telegram groups. Because even if we do a deep search, it is never enough to tell that project is worth trusting, some have a good performance in their early days but it turns scam later.
