That should be expected as it is a natural principle. Most projects are dead because of poor management by the team members because they lack the expertise in crypto and failed to seek for counsel from experts. Also, projects with no backing product or tangible ideology behind is likely to go down the drain as it will lose the interest of potential investors.
That's a good point your trying to say. Another reason for me why many projects are dead because of the bounty hunters. They dump the coin really hard to the point that it can't go up. Fair to say, they work for it so they can do what they want with it.
