People don't want to give projects some time to grow, they forget that coins like dash, litecoin, Xmr, Bitcoin etc have a rough start, I'm just saying crypto investment takes years, just because a project drop in value doesn't mean they won't grow better in future.
Projects don't just turn huge in a year, there will be lots of volatility and price loss, for long term hold be prepared, if you can't then go for top coins
I agree with you, as a cite of example bitcoin alone takes around 10 years to reach a price above $10,000, but for a new crypto project I think it will need very long time cause they need to promote their project worldwide along with proper roadmap,whitepaper and so on. it all depends on the development team how fast they can done the work
