Well, I wrote a blog post in October 2017, Why 90% Alt Coin will fail. I re-posting here as I see hundreds of new crypto coins popping up every month, so I want to remind investor, be careful with all these new coins, research, study, before you invest.
So my question is, how many % of those new alt coins survive in long run? let’s say 1 year? 2 years? or even 5 years?
90% of them will fail within the first year. Here’s why:
- People making millions of cryptocurrency we can make it, let's make a coin.
- People have no idea, what they are getting in, and how to run a company or organization.
- People wants easy money.
- No reputable organization or company behind the idea.
- Most of people under 25, wanaa be entrepreneur, without any background or knowledge.
- Most of the alt coin start with ICO, expecting to collect millions of dollar from it, without any capital.
- How many new alt coin company can run of 20 to 25 dev team? not many.
- Without zero marketing idea, or how to market the coin.
- When coin price doesn’t go up in couple of months, they give up.
- If we can list on exchanges, we will get rich!
The rest of 10% Alt coin will survive beyond 2020 because >
- They have a purpose and ambition.
- They don’t go after money, rather working hard to maintain back end.
- Strong Development team, who knows what they are doing.
- Keeping touch with social media, updating every move and letting investors know, they are in good hand.
- Trust factor, you have to show that public will trust you.
- Regularly have conference, at least twice a year and update investor, what’s going on.
- A clear road map, and actually follow it.
- Thinking long term.
- Hire actual marketing people rather than depends on this forum only.
- There are million of people who doesn’t use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, you have to learn how to reach them.
- Stop depending on Social media, We all know 70% people use social media is under 25 and they are student. They are not investor.
- Try to connect your coin with any company, or organization, no matter how small it is.
- Go slow, don’t worry about your price, worry about your project and stability.
- Hire online entrepreneur or even a YouTube star, if your audience is young and target market under 25.
