We have had several hyped coins and token lately and many have been a victim of hyped projects that ended up crashing in not long after attaining a very little profit margin. Been extremely careful with how we go about our analysis will help save a lot. Just wondering why developers would come up with nice projects only to crash after a short while keeping investors in losses.
Unfortunately, a lot of people investing in crypto do it without any basic knowledge. They often only invest in something because someone told them so. With every financial investment, analysis is the most important thing, so before risking money, no one should follow the hype, but do their own research.
I think the coins that uses other consensus mechanisms like proof of stake is the future. But still the hype is always around Bitcoin.Hype drives everyone as long as everyone is greedy and fomo It will stays liquid. Of course "do their own research" is the only solution and don't follow anyone blindly.
