Did you just say hype? You're wrong man. There is nothing like hype when it comes to a project being successful. These days I have seen a lot of projects that get hyped and at the end they turn out to be a failure, that's why you have to be very careful. Avoid hype project, do your own proper research and don't be too quick to believe what people has to say because some of them are paid to hype fake projects.

If you want to know whether a project is going to be successful you should first of all check the whitepaper, that's the first thing almost everyone checks when they see a project online. The next thing you should check is their team. There are some projects that claim team members that are in no affiliation with the project at hand. You should do more research even after that, and also you should consider their public information. If they are hiding information that should be available to investors, then there is something wrong.

Being successful has nothing to do with hype, it's mainly fake projects that gets hyped and at the end you will come to realize that it's not worth it. You have to be careful and trust whatever you see at first glance.
