The vast majority of new crypto investors that I am aware of are anxious and restless these days. Gone are the days when early crypto investors invest in coins and watch it develop over time,newbies and new investors are too in hurry to make money and many turned crypto investment into life jobs.
The benefits of an investment is called returns which takes years to accomplish so its never going to be easy for those looking for short term ROI and yet fundraising like IEO still brings short term profit for smart investors,i think almost all new crypto investors lacks patience
But on a contrary opinion, what is the assurance that the project won't exit? There are most projects which came with a good idea but along the line they become worthless could be the team lacks what it takes to drive the platform or they finds it hard getting listed. Actually many investors do things for several reasons, those who have been victims of exit scam might find it hard holding any token apart from major coins, those who invest in IEO might only be for the quick profit and the list continues. In my own case, I would say go with what works for you, if it's holding then go for projects which are worth it and not those based on hype, invest and hold as you want. Also, as an investor get the right knowledge about investing, and know that investment returns takes time.
