This board amazes me sometimes.
All the hyped ICOs are killing people - Bancor, Monaco etc and there is no self reflection.
People need to change the way they participate in projects.
All the rubbish needs to be shunned.
Sectors need to be chosen carefully, and projects thereafter.
REAL energy projects (i.e. NOT asset managers such as wepower, and NOT the pure solar/other renewable energy investment rubbish where crypto is just "added" to the process as a marketing tool) should be favoured, such as Grid+ and Prosume Energy.
Stop following people who have proven themselves useless.
You put it in the name of the thread as if people actually invested to lose money. This is surely wrong. It is just rather hard to define what is going to be a good investment. I bought blackmoon for about 70 cents and now it's under 50. The project was interesting, team is legit and marketing was amazing. What has gone wrong? No idea. Electroneum also has a team full of enthusiasts and the idea of their project is truly innovative and attractive. Yet from the time coin was released the price has only been going down. Why is this happening? Hard to say. It's not as easy as you put it anyway.
I agree on this. There are too many factors that can shift everything upside down in a brief instant - even if the "old" corolary of good projects apply (team, community, idea, etc...).
