So you're saying even if the project has solid fundamentals down they're no good for long term?
If you google TOP 10 MarketCap CRYPTOCURRENCY, compare results today and see the search results during 2017 and 2019, and you will find that this list is completely different except for Bitcoin.
There are millions of ideas in the crypto world, and unfortunately all projects that present themselves as solutions to the problems of other projects or try to get some investments using phrases such as decentralized finance, meta, will not be able to hold on for long.
Therefore, unless it is a unique project, and different from the rest, it will only succeed in the short term.
But i'd like to think that $SAND will stay with us for years. Every major company is building around it.
