Kind of surprised to see cardano, algorand and fantom here. 

Also even if forbes articles are not high quality, I think this kind of stuff reaching many ears causes FUD for these projects and I prefer to stay away, even if I consider them good tech.

Thank you guys. I may give BNB staking a try.

May I ask, what's the conditions that you have to meet to stake BNB for new launchpad projects? Is a binance account with KYC enough, or it needs more things?

I appreciate more answers to this question, with the name of your preferred launchpad projects.

I edited the original post again, since it was repeatedly misunderstood:

P.S: By "investing on launchpad projects", I mostly mean buying and hodling a token when its launch ended, got listed in binance, and also has done its price discovery for a few weeks. Not staking BNB to get some tokens before it gets listed.


Thanks. This is the thing that I want to do.

Also, regarding the BNB staking thingy you mentioned, do you have any accurate info? Like how much your tokens will be worth on average if you stake, say, $1000 worth of BNB?

Thank you for introducing ENA and ARKM. I think ENA is not a launchpad project, but I'll check it out too.

And an interesting fact is, that even the coin98 thingy which has been used as an example of a weak launchpad project, didn't do all that bad price-wise. It pumped during the 2021 bull, dumped in 2022 like many other projects, consolidated around $0.12, and then did a 4X during the recent bull months.


Thanks for your help. If you have a personal choice between the ended projects listed on that page, I'll be glad to know.


Do you have any personal experience regarding this? I mean, is there any cap for staked BNB there? Like, 100 BNB cap, and above that your launchpad tokens are the same even if you stake 5K?

Also, can you share which launchpad projects did you participate, and how many tokens did you get?

Wanna have a general opinion to see if BNB staking for launchpad projects is worth it...

I edited the original post to explain this:

P.S: By "investing on launchpad projects", I mostly mean buying and hodling a token which has done its price discovery for a few weeks, not staking BNB to get some tokens.

Also, the information being rare thingy refers to information about comparing these projects, or scoring them based on their success probability. If there's no information about a project's team or roadmap or things like this, of course I'll never invest!

Hi everyone.

Looks like the bull market is here again, and the question on everyone's mind is that which trains we are going to ride this time? I'm thinking about investing on new binance launchpad projects, because I believe they provide a good balance of profit, safety and innovation. Binance has due diligence for its launchpad projects, and some of the most serious projects in the last bull run have been binance IEOs. Just look at the performance of projects like matic, harmony one, sand, ... in the last bull.

Please help me with these subjects:

1. Your general opinion of this. How good of an idea is to invest on new binance launchpad projects at this time?
2. How can I detect the best of them? I know about the usual due diligence stuff like the team, the community, tokenomics, etc. But is there anything else? Like some rating system or a site that reviews them or something? I've found these kind of information about launchpad projects to be a bit rare.
3. If you have any personal preferences, would you please share them? This is a list of binance launchpad projects, newest on top. Pick your best: https://www.coinspeaker.com/ieo/platform/binance-launchpad/

Thanks.

Yes, low caps can rise 100X easier than the other alts, but they may also do 1/100X easier than others. 

My recommendation is that to do anything with low caps, wait until you're sure that the bull has started. If you do it when there's uncertainty in the market, it may lose a lot of value before it starts going up.

He has called every cryptocurrency except BTC a security before, so ALGO is not the only one. They have called DASH and a few other projects securities too in their lawsuit against bittrex.

The thing that makes ALGO special is that this guy used to be a fan of ALGO and introduce it as a high tech blockchain before:

Everything about this guy stinks horribly...

I don't consider cardano to be a hated project. People give it some FUD here and there, just like they do with anything else. I also think that it did a lot better than the other projects in terms of price, during the past years.

The only big negative that I remember was during the 2021 bull, that they figured out there's a very fundamental bug in the project which prevents it from running smart contracts and sending transactions in each block. That was a bad one.

I dunno if they did (or will do) anything about it or not, but it was a huge disappointment to me personally. I believe it was one of the reasons why ADA didn't go higher than $3 during the bull, otherwise it could have been exploded even bigger than it did.

Most of the times it's a stupid move with no reason, and it shouldn't suggest that you invest on it.

But remember, sometimes it's a mistake people made in calling those projects dead. A lot of people considered solana and serum to be dead coins after the fall of FTX in late 2023, because FTX was a big investor. But it has been a mistake and both of those are doing pretty well now, and will probably have a future.

Well I don't necessarily think of 2023 as a bullish year (like 2021 was). But I do think that the crypto market, like most other markets, will form a bottom and after that there will be a long sideway / slightly bullish / slightly bearish market that can last for years before we see a considerable bullish market again.

I'm not hugely excited about 2023, but might invest a bit if the prices hit my targets.
I agree with your points.

Hype is only a factor, out of 100 factors you consider when investing. And it mostly works if you think short time (which I probably do). But remember, it's not insignificant. Learn to use it properly, and you can take advantage of its power. 

I too have been in a lot of bad bounties and airdrops, but a few good one I remember are:

- STORM: IIRC I got 0.4 BTC worth of tokens. Like most of you I didn't put it to the right use though. 

- Waves: I think I got about 500-600 waves. Could have been worth $36K at ATH years later, but I didn't hodl much.

Anyways, are bounties even worth anything these days? 

Hello everyone.

Every once in a while I do some research here and there, to see which crypto projects are more hyped and talked about. Remember, I'm not saying these are good projects or have strong fundamentals, just that I believe they are more hyped than the others. So they can be a good investment, or a bad one.

This time I found these:

1. The obvious ones which are almost always hyped: BTC, ETH, BNB, Doge, Matic and ADA. We all know about them, so let's focus mostly on the others.
2. Polkadot (DOT)
3. ApeCoin (APE)
4. Dash 2 Trade (D2T): This one's not still in exchanges, but supposedly it's a strong crypto platform, and hyped.
5. The Graph (GRT)
6. NEAR Protocol (NEAR)
7. Decentraland (MANA)

So which one of them do you think will perform better in future? If you have any opinion for (or against) anyone of those, I'll be glad to hear it.

Alright, the first thing that comes to the mind, is to tell you that if something belongs to the "every person knows" category, then there's a good chance that it also belongs to the "never gonna happen" category. Please research the "contrary opinion" method of market analysis.

That being said, I kind of agree with ETH, ADA, Matic and DOT in your list, if you can buy a decent bag of them. Other projects that I like: Algo, Doge, Vet and Celr.

I'm also one of the fortunate people who didn't lose much, but two of my friends lost crypto there...

IMHO the worst losses happened to the margin traders. People who trade with positions and leverage, and have to leave their assets in exchanges. 

I've used their exchange many times.

My opinion is that if you're gonna exchange small amounts of any listed coin in their exchange and then withdraw fast, it has been okay till now. They are not scammers who steal your things shamelessly (kind of makes them better than FTX, LoL).

But people are right to call them shady. Everything else they're famous of, like their IEOs in the old times, their pump and dump mini (or maybe micro) projects, their farming project, etc, etc has mostly made people lose money. I've heard of occasions in which someone made money there, but people losing money has been a much more frequent outcome.  

Be safe.

Or, the second Mt. Gox? 

The FUD is real, although I hope it won't go that bad...

I don't think bear is over, nope. Most probably we're gonna have some more red later.

But I don't agree to people who say we had 3-4 years of bear in the last cycle. I think we had 1 year of bearish market (2018), then about 15 months of mostly sideways activity (a BTC pump in 2019 too). Surely this doesn't mean it will be the same this time though, that will remain to be seen.

I've been hearing bad things about solana since a long time ago. Long before the hack thing and the blockchain halt thing and all that happened. Right now I'm surprised why isn't it dumping worse than this...

Blockchain experts don't think of it as good technology. I used to get excited at its performance stats when they came out in 2020, but overall it didn't perform as good as they claimed it would.

I honestly don't know how well it'll perform in future, but right now I prefer to stay away.
