Will you invest in a project that might take years to outshine the market??

[FireDAO CY]

I found out in the blockchain world, many people are losing patience when they start to invest in a project. Their understanding about "long term" is no longer years but weeks.

Some project need time to build and shape. What do you think?

[crwth]

They are probably either looking to get quick bucks or not in the mood to get involved in the community. People stay in a particular project because they might have discovered the niche they want and somewhere to stay, like here in the forum. Then that will be the part where "long-term" is the goal.

If you think about it, a quick build project could look better. It's a baby, and are you sure you can take risks with those kinds of projects? I don't think people will jump at that opportunity unless you can.

I have no problem with long-term investments, the problem is that in the crypto world there is no guarantee that a given project will last for a longer period of time. The "buy it and forget it for years" approach is very unreasonable to me. Even the most promising projects can face many problems as they develop. I believe that you need to constantly control what is happening with the projects in which we invest and in the world of cryptocurrencies in general. Trends change relatively often, which may be associated with interesting earning opportunities, but also involves the risk of a significant loss of the value of a given asset after a change in the trend.

The problem is not with the individual motivation level and how long there are willing to wait, altcoin investments are high-risk investments and at that, most of that investors tend to lose their cool whenever the price of the coin drop in high percentage and frequently, this is why most times many of them lose hope in the long term potential of the coin., but you must also know that there are other investors who are short term investors this set of investor only speculate the market and set their price target to within 1 week or a couple of weeks with short term mindset.


If i am to fundamentally understand a project and guaranteed its success in the long term, I may wait to get involved in the early stage, just like some of the Bitcoin OGs that have been following with bitcoin development right from the very beginning.

If it is long-term, it means it could be years. But if it's weeks, it means it's short-term. There may be coins that can provide profits in the short, medium, and long term, but that is difficult to detect because the movement of the coins will depend on the movement of bitcoin. So I guess if you invest in Bitcoin, it can mean investing for the long term. But if you invest in altcoins, it will probably be short- to medium-term.

And that's where our patience is tested so that we can really hold Bitcoin and altcoins until it's time for us to sell and make a profit. So be patient if those coins haven't been able to upgrade because if it is a potential coin, it will surely increase one day.

You're right.

And you know why? It's because that people have been thinking that it's always a fast paced market which is but then, that comes close because of its volatility.

But for these projects to impress investors then they have to show that they're already at their best as they propose themselves and giving their pitch to everybody.

Why not, just that it takes risk going for such decision because some coins will definitely survived through the years and remained profitable while some may drop down along the way due to some internal problems from it developers, that's why investment in altcoins has it own risk higher than on bitcoin because you don't know which cryptocurrency is next in line for going down, but if you take the risk and invested in any and the whole thing turns a testimony, you will never regret taking such decision in life forever because you will earn pretty well.

I think you were right about people not having enough patience. But there are a lot of empty and unnecessary projects in the cryptocurrency market. You can lose years of expectation along with your investment. Things are happening very fast now. Technology is changing all the time. A few years in the blockchain world is no small thing.

True, but they want at least something in the initial stages. A foundation so to speak. If said foundation is so weak it was basically nonexistent, I wouldn't blame investors for trying to avoid the said project. I do understand how some people look at "long term" being weeks or months, it's exactly how newbie investors see Bitcoin, kind of unfortunate really. I also wouldn't blame them, that's how I looked at Bitcoin as well initially.

On the other hand some projects just pop off all of a sudden and investors come flooding in. That's the moment where they should have released the project, not before. It may be due to lack of funds but hey, investors aren't exactly charity.

[Bitstar_coin]

Well depending on your goal in life, if your survival largely depends on your investment then it is no, better to invest on other projects that won't take such a length of time to be successful.
Even btc didn't wait until 10 years before people where able to make profit, rather people made money at different stages as btc advance and grow. My point is, if the person has a different source of revenue and don't depend on returns from the investment they can afford to invest on such long project otherwise there are other options that does not necessarily require such a long period.

[indo1]

if it's cold money why not? I will try to invest there especially if it's an interesting thing related to AI, financial or some kind of trend that is suitable for the long term and they have a clear relationship like a giant company or a well-known exchange. I think I believe they are indeed worthy of being a place to invest.

If they think that investing is just for mere weeks, they failed as a long term investor. Actually the growth of project/altcoin investment here is too fast compared to traditional investment which literally took years for your investment to get a significant amount of profit. I guess the cryptocurrency volatility is what makes them think that a long term investment will only need weeks to grow. We invest on the project product and that kind of product doesn't come in an instant and some product take years to create or build. Investing on that kind of real project is what long term investment is. When the time comes that they grow, you also grow.

Some of these people invested money coming from loans or their savings and they want quick profit they are paying interest from their loans, and they need money coming from their savings they do not have patience for a long-term investment, good investments are projects with platforms and developers who are actively developing and testing the project before they launch their main net, it takes months or years to complete that.

And many investors are tempted to invest in pump-and-dump projects because many have seen that there are huge profits from these projects but they failed to realize that it's very risky to invest in these kinds of projects because you have to follow the project all the time for a pump, many are losing because they are late in dumping their bags after accumulating.
 

[bittick]

I think it has to do with the fact that many projects nowadays are short lived, in term of volatility and value increase, so many projects increase its value within few days they were first existed like sui and arbitrum.
many are having high expectation with the newer coins.

[WalkerIVIV]

honestly it depends in the circumstance, if the other project seemed to have shorter cycle of reaching bearish.
then honestly i would rethink my decision in investing in more long term investment since that would mean im gonna lose some opportunity.
but then again we hardly now which coin could gain massive increase in value.

There’s a lot of existing and newly launch project that give profit in short period of time. Investors is just maximizing the opportunity to enter on trending project rather than make their capital stagnant on an asset that still building since they can enter once the already started. It’s not that big profit if they enter early but that 1 year duration can give tons of profit when invested on right project is on hype.

Some project need time to build and shape. What do you think?

This is true. You can always put them on watchlist and just invest when there’s already a bullish signal for them. They will still build with or without your money though.

[TheSpiral]

Now crypto become advance and everyone looks for short term profit and long term project are very rarely demanded. I think investing in coins which take years to blow up are not worth because we don't know the future of crypto what will happen in Market and will the hype of such project will remain or not. It is better to invest in short term project for fast earning.

I guess in the early years of crypto, yeah, the projected success is like for long term. That's we still have like Ethereum or even Litecoin or we can consider Doge (although meme coin), part of that group.

But now, with a lot of projects being tossed around and literally thousand of them in the crypto space, for sure there are investors who don't understand that but just wanted to make quick money in the market now. And most likely this is a meme coin or shit coin, a good example is $pepe which I read that someone become a millionaire. But that is not going to be the case for the majority of us, it takes patience and luck as well to invest early and make millions in just snap of a finger.

[zonefloor]

When we compare the current market with the past periods, it is possible to see that the market is stagnant. Because in the past, there were not many investors in the market and it was very easy to make money. When we look at the current order, it became difficult to earn money as the number of investors increased. In the same way, when we look at the past periods, we see that the market evolves very quickly, so many projects are wasted in the long run and this causes loss of money. For this reason, I prefer to take profit in the short term instead of the long term, except for marginal cryptocurrencies, including me.

We can't blame investors nowadays for having a hard time trusting new projects when it comes to long term investment. We've been through a lot that made us gain trust issues since most long term projects before have turned into bubble after a long time of waiting. Only a few could take the risks these days and they're only risking on well established coins.
If there will be short term profit opportunities then it would be better to grab and invest on it than letting our funds sleep without any assurance of gaining profit in the future not unless we're going to invest it with coins with a strong foundation like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB and more. What investors want these days is assurance which is hard to find on coins that only rely on hype.
