Who invest in such creepy projects in the first place? Oh right, those who want to burn all their money and gamble away with it. Why will anyone in their right thinking mind, invest in a coin with no team???

there are some projects that are still successful which its team is anonymous to its investors, i'd be willing to invest if its already on the exchange. projects like VEIL or GRIN because they are already on the exchange but will likely not join if its new and doing a campaign here in the forum. there is just higher chance for you working for weeks and then not getting paid.

I don't have problem with anonymous team, I'm into most projects for quick gains, I've even witness some earning big from scam projects before they actually exit scam, it's all about the project use case itself, either anonymous or not you can still become a victim to scam.

But between anonymous and not anonymous you have an idea where these scammers are located and they can be reported in their respective countries, on anonymous its like giving your money to unknown people and hoping that they will not scam you, gone are the days that developers will come here and ask money and they will continue developing the project but now we have so many people acting like developers who really are not.

moreover an anonymous team, a team that has a clear member if you want to cheat will definitely keep going,
with a start that persuades investors to invest, and eventually they will run away with the money they get.

There is nothing wrong in being uncomfortable when you invest in projects with anonymous team. Just look at the number of projects that are popping up here and there with so called anonymous team. How many of them has succeeded? How many of them did "not" scam their investors? I would say all those projects that are saying that their privacy matters are just using privacy as an excuse to anonymously scam people. What is wrong with showing your identity (except for few cases)? You would be likely safe if you don't scam or screw your investors.

Be prepared to do deep research more on projects with anonymous teams, there is high chance that they are in hidden to exit scam easily, some projects since 2018 has anonymous team but they are still alive and well functioning, just make sure you do good research

well, I totally agree with what you said and what's worse is that this year there are a lot of DeFi projects that we don't know who the team behind the project is, including YFI and YFII coins that don't seem to provide information on their team, as said by the founder of Binance said that he did not know who the owner or team of the YFI group was, it was terrible to see a coin like this that would have a very high risk because there was nothing the team could know from this project.

If you have a doubt in the project because its has an anonymous team don't invest. You can try to do your own research about the project before investing so that you will not get scam.

I will also immediately avoid projects with anonymous teams, because legit projects usually have a real team and show their faces
and social media links. So we can see the project team's profile, because choosing projects with an anonymous team is very risky.
The possibility of these projects scams is very large, after all I cannot accept any reason for projects with anonymous teams.

Bitcoin started with Satoshi but everyone trusted him and that is where the anonymous teams started to arise citing this example and the scammers started to join the same method and now no one trust a team with anonymous members because we have seen billions of dollars to scammers and we need to be careful and think twice before investing in any project.

I also dislike those projects who hides their identity. It is risky to participate in projects like that, that is also suspicious in our end that they don't want to give the identity of the team. We should avoid this kind of project because they can easily make their way out anytime they want to.

it is very impossible to trust a team that is not anonymous, for me the transparency of the team in a project is of course very important, although not a full guarantee, but I know that a good project always has a good team & Dev performance and is also transparent.

I don't agree, there are many established projects with an anonymous team and their projects are on the top lists of investors. Anonymous projects also provide a privacy advantage for different types of purposes, the governments will not able to ask for the project data simply. The working product is more important rather than the known team members, if the project has a vision the rest can be done somehow.

Only few projects with anonymous teams are still alive today. But most new projects employing anonymous teams are created to collect money for their pockets. A lot of them disappear into thin air once they got their funds. Though there are still few of them that really do achieve their objectives without disclosing their identities but you need to watch out also about their development plans.

I'm not a fan of anonymous teams either, cus knowing the team behind a project is really important, so if a team decides to stay anonymous, then it's better not to invest in such project, investing in project with an anonymous Tema is just like giving a stranger a huge some of money and expecting it back, there's no way that's going to happen, cause the strange would definitely run away with your money, and there is no way you can trace and get back your money, so always avoid investing in projects with anonymous teams it's as good as throwing away your money.

Anonymous team members can be tracked too by the state security organizations but someone should have strong evidence in order to convince the government boards.

I think for me this makes the decision making easier. When i was very new to online business and marketing i thought why would displaying real people behind every new project matter because online it can be anonymous especially when it comes to crypto based projects but after making some loss i realized eacha nd every factor makes a difference so i try to skip a project if i get something negative or bad and i take anonymous project as a negative too.

I have always said this that if you have a bad feeling about a project during your due diligence phase just stay away from such a project.
This bad feeling can be due to hidden team, bad interface, incomplete website, whitepaper or roaadmap..
In the end it is your own decision but these signs can definitely save you from loss if you make the right decision.

You have to be more specific, if the team are hidden then who you going to blame once scam happened? there's nothing you can do so better to

avoid participating or investing to such project like that, there are many available project that have good back up teams they already developed

and established their name inside this industry, if you plan to support or invest the chance is more higher than those who are hiding.

No doubt that anonymous team is not sugegsted for a new project. Infact, most people will take it as a red flag so why would a professional project do such a thing? There are not many legit reasons to justify this. So i reckon anonymous kind of projects are mostly scams that intend to raise funds and disappear. So do report them as soon as you find such projects.

because most of new project with anonymous team scam now
