I think that as more and more Alt coins are introduced, more and more projects will die. This is an exciting time but also a scary time. As crypto becomes more and more mainstream, more and more projects will begin to fade out and the best will survive. The top 15 Alt coins today will not be the top 15 in 5 years, once these shitty, overhyped coins are not usable for the masses, they will fade out of the picture. That is why it is as important as ever to do your research and look past the hype into the longterm goal of projects and how they are going to get there. It is also important to look at the quality of backers these projects have and which top VC's have backed them because these are great indications for success. It is also important to compare these projects to the competition and realize that at the end of the day the projects with the best backers, developers, and community will win even if they aren't winning the hype game right now. We are still in the very early stages of crypto so the noise isn't a good indication of whether or not a project will be successful, in the internet boom there were plenty of projects that were very hyped but at the end of the day the best products with the best teams won, and this is what I believe will happen when crypto becomes mainstream and everyone uses it. (its inevitable that crypto will be used by nearly everyone in the future) All of these reasons are why I am so bullish on NEAR. NEAR is backed by top VC's including Coinbase and Pantera Capital, it has a world class team of developers who came from massive companies like Facebook and google to name a couple and most of them have won many awards for their work, they are focused on having the best product that will be scalable for then masses and will be easy/cheap to use for everyone, and last of all they are building a very strong community all over the world. Projects like NEAR are the future and that is why I think it is important to do your own research and make decisions based on projects worth not hype!! I'd also recommend you check NEAR out and let me know what you think about the project.
