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

[Godday]

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?

Of course! I totally agree with that. I am a person who likes long term investment. It seems to me that an investment that takes many years to succeed will have a very strong foundation so that it is likely to succeed.
I am willing to wait 2 to 3 years for my investment to generate returns for me.

Not always because of the hype. New projects at the start of trading have a very small circulating supply, so it is very easy to inflate the price of such projects, exchanges are actively involved in this. After the price is artificially inflated, an active sale begins, and the project price is flying to the bottom. After she reaches the bottom, the supply has time to increase and price jumps are not as rapid as before. In fact, all these big candles are caused by short-term speculators and stock bots more often than just the hype around the project.

You're right about cryptocurrency exchange inflating the price of a newly created project that just got listed and that's why I never join the trading competition of a new listing project because after the trading competition ends the crypto bottom price will come to life but we can still categorize it as hype because marketing is done in diverse ways and strategy procedure that put the project an on the edge is hype.

On centralized exchanges, investors like to lock in profits, so prices begin to update their lows, but before they do, they very often rise even higher than they did before listing. That's a good amount of time to lock in profits. Assets like memcoins or nft cannot be held for long, but you have to constantly monitor the market to sell all these tokens at the most profitable moment. If the hype ends and the investor still has the coins, then you can forget about the profit, at best this investor will sell everything at cost, but more often than not the sale turns out to be a big loss.

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 totally agree with you because that's who I am and as an investor ROI and time are our biggest concerns. This is a very real problem. After all, participants in the current encryption world treat tokens as simple buying and selling behaviors, not beliefs. In other words, the interest relationship between the user and the project party becomes very simple. Making money is a long-term consensus. If you lose money, the user turns around and leaves.

here's the thing
when you choose a project that's only gaining community and popularity you cannot expect a "boom"
you gotta se if the team has great long term plans and not only plans but real ongoing events and a ready to use product
I saw the testnet Break_Me of the project called NeonLink, it's not that hyped yet but I believe with that passion of devs and team they will reach highs in upcoming two-three years
I can tell they have a good product already, people are into it so it's giving me great vibes
so that's why i picked them for now, I can see the potential and the team is moving in right direction, they listen to ppl and the most important they deliver a good product
ppl like it, ppl come and test it out ad tell others, this is how it works
great things take time, it's not a fast food mate

I have been pursuing a number of such projects, since its appearance until now nothing special the ways that I am attracted to the idea and the attitude of working in the team makes me always believe in Surname.
The market can take a number of different approaches to profit, and so investing does not need to force itself to follow the formula or follow the crowd on short-term things.
I have also had the great feeling of witnessing a number of projects in this market PUMP thanks to the hype following the signals, which, although previously paid off, was an enjoyable experience for me. various ways of exposure to various things in the crypto space.

Now it's not uncommon to see people getting impatient and looking for a quick return on their investment despite being aware that certain projects take time to develop and develop. Yes. Investing in projects with long-term potential may not pay off immediately, but it can offer substantial returns in the future. Whatever it is. Patience and a strategic mindset are key in an investment that has the potential to outperform the market for several years. Trading is an exercise in patience and meditation of the mind .

[kevinzxz]

of course, because I like to take risks, but I still DYOR before investing in a new project, so if I believe the project is good and can give me a big profits in the future, then I will definitely invest in the project and ready to wait for a long time until the project to succeed (although the risk is very big and I might lose my money), but I'll still take the risk (high risk high return).

On your point about "long-term" investment being whittled down to weeks, it's a trend that's disturbingly pervasive. It's clear that a significant number of investors are succumbing to the pressure of immediacy, unwilling to let a project mature. Rome wasn't built in a day, nor are most successful blockchain projects. Investing in the cryptos requires more than a keen eye for projects with potential. It necessitates the stomach to weather market fluctuations and the patience to see through the project's development. Alas, we seem to have bred a generation of traders with the attention span of a goldfish, constantly chasing the next shiny coin. Watching projects 'PUMP' due to hype and FOMO can indeed be fascinating, but as they say, "easy come, easy go." Nothing replaces the deep satisfaction of seeing a project you believed in from the start bear fruit after years of dedication and development.

Oh boy did i invest to one of those. Waiting over 5 years for mainnet with at the same time, team has total tranparency, constant development, talented devs and original idea. My faith is stuggling sometimes.
But when the product is something never done before, it's so cutting edge that absolutely nothing can go wrong, especially when it's planned to slowly launch for multi trillion dollars industry. I just have to accept that no one can see the unseen hurdles of the future, and it's really hard to set any deadlines.

At least they have been trying to be regulatory compliant from the start so it won't crash right there.

You can check the roadmap, legit projects have a roadmap to follow, while pump-and-dump project uses hype and shilling as their method of adoption.

Between the two, projects with roadmap are worth following and investing they are more concentrated on building their community and testing their platform, which is why legit projects have testnet and mainnet to build their platform, they are more concentrated on long terms.

Well to this day even some devs are just failing to deliver well. Considering that AI is already here to either aid or kill the dev market, I am expecting that people would still be hesitant to invest in newer projects these days. There would be transparency but how can we ensure that the "transparency" is authentic as fuck?

I can imagine that there would still be projects that would just die out or get abandoned just like how products of Google just died out one by one and yeah I just happened to learn that there were so many products that they killed long time ago. It could happen to any sort of legitimate project as well, don't you think?

At the end of the day most coins do not really solve any kind of real problem which is why they cannot gain long term support from their users, after all how many times do we need for the same coins to be reinvented all over again? At some point people simply become skeptic about those coins and prefer to stick with the ones they know, and while the adoption of this market keeps growing and this allows new coins to survive, at some point the adoption will slowdown, once a great deal of the population around the world gets into this market, and when that happens most of those coins will disappear and there will not be any new coins to take their place.

Well even if they solved the problems and would be unique solutions, that's doesn't necessarily show as green in the price charts. Adoption can't really happen without finished product, so i have invested speculative value because i believe that those devs are working hard with the problem others don't tackle. Some big coins have been even using their code.

I am just looking for elsewhere as well, trying to look for new innovations that would rule the next cycle, last time i got lucky and got excited about nfts in 2019 so i got in early.

That is what everyone should do, I don't say that everyone should invest in new projects but once they do their research and evaluate a project thoroughly, if they feel satisfied and find the project to have enough potential to have significant growth in the future, there is no harm in throwing in a few bucks just to try out your luck. One shouldn't invest a lot of money in new projects, just a small percentage of the capital so that if the project succeeds, one gets good returns and if it fails, there won't be much harm.

Those who know they don't know how they should do research about a project or how they can know if it has the potential or not should simply stay away from new projects and stick to the old and trusted ones to avoid losses.

Well, can't blame those investors that are into new projects. That's how they see things with the newer projects because it's what it should be. Most new projects are just short-term because eventually they will lack liquidity and that's why the earlier they can be out, they'll be out. It's what they've seen from the past projects because of the developers and investors doing the same things again and again, they're making new projects cash projects as what they think to be and they're doing it before anyone else go out first. Yeah, it may be true that a project may take time to become successful but that's the developers have to deal with.

It depends on the team behind the project and the project road map.
If I am satisfied with the project ideas and I trust the project team, I can be able to be patient and invest in the project pending till when the project will come to bright future.

[cute nmp]

Investing in any project that may take years to outshine the market can be a valid investment strategy for certain individuals. It's also known as a long-term investment approach, where investors believe in the potential of the project and are willing to hold onto their investments for an extended period, despite short-term fluctuations. Remember this strategy requires patience, thorough research, and a strong belief in the project's long-term prospects .But it is mostly proven to be very profitable in the long term.

Well, if it is guaranteed in the next five years then why not, right? But sadly that is not the case since there are no guaranteed in the world of cryptocurrencies and that makes it even harder to find that project or specific coin that will outshine some coins in the market in the next couple of years and will be give us promising returns for holding out. So, it is still advisable, well for me, to invest in top altcoins and bitcoin so that the risks are minimized.

[WalkerIVIV]

honestly i wouldn't waiting for a coin for long term without even knowing whether the coin gonna grow is such a really bad planning honestly.
i'd just settle with other coin that gaining good enough within just short term. with altcoin, you don't even know if coin could even exists for that long.

Blaming them won't help and it was not your money that they are investing. As long as they know what they are doing which I think is correct, then there is no problem with that. It only becomes a problem if we hold a new project for too long because like you said, most of them are just scams. If we want to HODL a coin for the long term, we are more sure with the coins that we already knew the most.

When it comes to success, I think there are two types of it. One is short term and the other one is long term. Obviously a long term one is better and a project can start poorly but they shouldn't give up. As long as people are supporting them, they should use it as motivation to try harder.
