A pretty big number, but I wouldn't be too surprised since crypto is a free and open market. And it's a new market that's not regulated by any regulator, so it's normal for it to be taken advantage of or become a fancy scam space. This is the price we have to pay when we want to be free and decentralized.
It can be said that this year is the worst year of the market, we have too many collapses and heavy impacts from the world economy. Hopefully, everything will pass soon and the market will recover soon.
Worst? I doubt. As far as I know there were more projects being released before, way back 2017 wherein there are many campaigns on different project fields but only a few remain such as with gambling projects. Thus, such thing on my end is just normal depending on the market situation. Just think of how many projects are being introduced or released in the market and also, consider checking the ratio of those which failed and those which succeed. It is either good projects in general or just had boost on popularity, for those whoch succeeded. And to those failed projects, it will be the opposite but most of the time, it would rely on popularity of the project itself why it failed or succeed.
If talking about the number of projects in 2017 is too small compared to today, as far as I remember, in 2017, we only had more than 2000 projects listed on CMC, and this year, that number has reached 20k, and of course, the number of dead projects will also increase. That's a huge difference. Moreover, from the time it was created until now, the market has never experienced and been affected by wars, economic crises, etc., all have shown that this is the worst market year. It's not over yet. Do you think with what's going on in the world, the bear season will last longer than expected? I mean, the 4-year cycle could be broken.
