The Two Sides of Crypto Hype Empty Promises vs Actual Value.....

[JiiBs]

Hype only deals with market entry and exit timing, not necessarily comprehensive research. Hype naturally attracts attention and accumulates a lot of fresh liquidity. Everyone will compete to seize the wealth from that liquidity pool.

No matter how well-presented the hype, it ultimately only forms a bubble.

It’s one way to create a market value for what isn’t as valuable as it presents but, the hypes are used to project I as the next big thing and at times, the product could assume these values.
When it comes to Bitcoin, it’s a whole different story. There is an over projection about Bitcoin at times, these prices gets met eventually but, sometimes in a far distant time and other times, sooner than expected. Either way, the hype around Bitcoin doesn’t actually create values for it, Bitcoin is valuable.

Hyped on a project when it meets up with the hype, it's not bad, it's when something is overhyped or doesn't have any potential, unless because of the lies being sold to the public through influencers. When a project is worth something, and it's real, there is no need for a sponsored hype like what we have in the meme coin market and altcoin community, since the majority of the hyped projects are trash I don't blame those who see the word "hype" when used in crypto as manipulation being entirely wrong.

In the end, it is all just a speculation, no one can say a project with great utility never reaches the public or gets any value, while some projects that is created for fun become billions worth, which shows that people are behind the hype, and some last only a short term, and some just keep on going for the long term.

This is why just ignore them and keep buying bitcoins.

P.S. This thread should be in the altcoin board.

Joining the crypto space, I realized that hype is majorly used by altcoins projects that wants to push for the success of their project so that they will have more investors putting in millions into their project so that they can have enough liquidity or so the project can look relevant because of the amount that would be seen to have been invested in the coin. Hype is usually to make a token gain so much attention and if it's a bad project, many people can spend their money in purchasing the token because of fear.

We often hear about the word hype in the crypto space, and peradventure the word now entails a bad figure which is wrong. Basically hype isn't actually a bad thing but then it's often used by the wrong people like scammers ,influencers and so on.

Wrong board for this type of post, you should have posted it in Help and Beginners board, that suits it best because you are guiding newbies or anyone reading. What you have written makes sense, but in Bitcoin section, Bitcoin is the only asset that does not need this guide anymore; it has passed this phase a long time ago.

So either move it or request moderators.

Now speaking about the post itself, I agree that we should not get into the hype that is spread by others. Scammers will use their words and drop a time ticking bomb on you, and you will not even have time to do your own research because you are too nice and humble. You do not want to speak directly or disagree with them, or say you need time to think. But when you are too nice, people use you more, and that is how life works. Be nice, but do not let anyone use your manners. Always be strict about your discipline and how you want to engage with hype spread by others.

Hype with empty promise actually very easy to distinguish, usually just bunch of paid influencers and media outlets talking about the same thing suddenly out of nowhere.

The hype that brings actual value usually a hype that get talked over and over across forums.

I know a fabricated, marketing stunt of a hype when I see one but genuine hype always get me very curious.

Bitcoin is a genuine one with actual value because the hype itself lasted multiple decades and keep appearing again every bullish cycle.

I'm with you on hyping things up in crypto. All legitimate projects require some sort of promotion to be able to get attention and users. But when the hype is employed as a way of concealing weak fundamentals or over-optimistic promises, this is where the problems lie. In fact, there are lots of projects, particularly in the meme coin category that depend on influencers and even marketing for a lot of their success, but provide virtually no value. Investors should see past the hype and pay attention to the utility, development and adoption. A project can have immediate interest from a hype but only long-term value can ensure its success.

[Outhue]

It's getting more harder to distinguish between a reliable project and a fake one, all of them always come out looking like the best new investment, and that makes it harder choice of investing, it's better to invest in Bitcoin only until you are sure that a new project is worth trying out and even if that's the case you are to invest only what you can afford to lose. To play this safe I advise you to focus mainly on Bitcoin the most and then small percentage on your shiny new toy but mind you, there is a big chance that the money will go to waste.

​Why I said this is because you will only consider something a hype if that thing has shown you that it doesn't have value. So yeah it's somehow confusing, but then most coins that actually have value are also hyped. That's why to me, in every hype one must ensure to do research beyond what they tell us. That's the only way to differentiate a hype with just promises from a hype with actual value.

​That said everyone wants to sell their commodities, advertise their project's and so many more and you can't do that without hype. So yeah considering the fact that hype is used in the wrong way it is our duties to always be aware if what an influencer ,producer or a developer is hyping, if it's actually worth it. So yeah doing research is the only truth to differentiate hype's with empty promises for hype's with actual value........

Yes I 100% agree with u, hype in this space is a necessity, without hype, ur project is going no where. But, DYOR is the very basic, the fundamental of every investment venture u intend to embark on. Don't just follow hypes blindly cause some of not all are just absurdly exaggerated, I mean, that's why it's called a hype, right? But after d hype, DYOR, check every unit of d project, see what are factual and what are noises, don't take there word for it, that's like very important.

When I started this space, although not with Bitcoin, my friend kept hyping crypto to me, d web3, e.t.c, and because he was making money too from it, I aped in without DYOR and got burned. I learned my lesson and became a better investor, so yeah, hypes are there, and are not necessarily a bad tyn, but DYOR too, that is very essential.

Without in-depth research and not understanding how the hype is generated, many people get trapped in cryptocurrency investment models. Not all coins have a clear future, as some are launched solely for a specific purpose, requiring thorough analysis and research before getting involved. Some influencers are intentionally paid to promote certain coins and sometimes we don't realize that what they're advertising is a coin with no future.

Promotion is indeed an important part of marketing, but if someone doesn't recognize it well, they can get trapped. It's better to choose a reliable option like Bitcoin, which has been tested and always provides certainty in investing. We cannot limit the new coins launched, but we must be selective in choosing them so as not to get caught in the wrong investment.

Hype is not real way of identifying if the a project going to perform well. One has to do it own research to come to a conclusion before embarking on a project because they're a lot scammers ready to take your  money even at the extent of inviting influencer in order the promote the project just let more people kick in, so as to achieve their aim is before finally ending up to all false project all through along .

I agree. Hype itself isn't the problem; every successful product needs attention and marketing. The real issue is when hype is used to hide weak fundamentals. That's why research matters more than excitement. A project with real value can survive after the hype fades.
