Bring in something NEW or don't bother at all
I hear you bro, and I share your thoughts as well, I think our market is already clogged with same ideas and concepts, we have too many payment system related projects, too many exchange related projects, and so on, but one thing I observe is some project that manage to bring something totally different are not given the much needed attention, it is either people consider it to be not needed in the crypto space or too impossible to achieve, so I think project developers sometimes want to develop a project in line with what is selling or what people are most interested in,
However, you can still find some very distinctive projects out there that are striving to make a difference and bring something new, the only problem is they have less support and completely under the radar.
