Topic: Is launching a new project during bear market a good idea?? 🤔 (Read 638 times)

If you believe in the core values ​​of your project, you should focus more on the important things like community and utility, leave out things that have to do with market capitalization, if it's about the core values ​​of the project, then any kind of market doesn't affect its development. Now that the market is getting more bearish, you have more time for development.

as far as i know, during a bear market, a lot of people hold their assets. some people try to take advantage of the moment that occurs, such as buying coins at a low price or trying to go short. So, when trying to launch a new project, chances are that not too many investors will come in, because there is a lot of FUD going on, given the fact that market conditions are down. in addition, launched coins can have very low prices. most likely the price can make the launch of a new project fail. this is my view. mostly I also see that new projects will be launched when the market has started to recover or go up.

Yes that's the spirit.

Keep grinding because it will not be an easy thing to do especially if you have many competitors that are almost the same as your project is. As much as possible, try to be unique, and have something in your project that doesn't have with other ones. Starting on Twitter is a good choice since there are many users out there whose involved into crypto (though I myself isn't using Twitter at all ). You might try Facebook Paid Advertisements as well if you have some money to pay. At least that increase your exposure to your target market.

Good luck with your project.

The point you brought up is is on point as capital is always one of the most important element when starting up a new project. Fortunately we've a great team that work very efficiently and maintaining the quality of the project at the same time without wasting any extra budgets. Since we're just at the beginning stage, so we will just keep pushing through the market. We've made our first move by sharing the info about our project in Twitter, https://twitter.com/FireDAOlab. Hopefully everything starts well from there.

We do wish and also believe that someday someone will see the value of our project and will approach to us. Thanks for the suggestion as we can see that Sandbox is definitely one of the project that broke the barrier and able to sustain for years and perform so well during the bull market. But our starting point might be different. We've just launched our own DID, which we called it FID. Feel free to have a look on our website, https://app.firedao.co/ .

Perhaps I just have to be focus on my own. We've shared alot of information about our project in Twitter https://twitter.com/FireDAOlab, and are welcoming everyone to read about it. Feel free to feedback to us as well so that we can listen to the market and improve from there.

No, it's not. Since the first day we built our community, there are alot of fakers out there used our project's name for their selfish act. So far we've just launched our own DID, which we called it FID. (check it out on our website https://app.firedao.co/) Our token will be launched in future, but not so soon yet. You can read more information from here too https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annfiredao-social-daodidweb3-identitysbtssupereconomy-5441307
High risk high return, we will just keep our best to break through the bear.

I do like to hear more from experience investor like you. Perhaps you can have a look on our project on our Twitter, or read more information from here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annfiredao-social-daodidweb3-identitysbtssupereconomy-5441307 . Would like to hear more about your do's & don'ts.
This is our official website to mint our first product PID. https://app.firedao.co/

Well i've invested on the projects that started during the bear run because they had a good idea behind them. And from the investor point of view you can get the tokens dirt cheap if the project survives and devs keep building. Because they might have their project ready to roll out for a next bull run. Assuming team doesn't start with a finished product. And from the token price point of view, people who have hodled your token trough the bear market are part of strong community with strong hands. You need those.

From my experience in altcoin project, it is bad for them to get listed in bear market because of the level of impact rhe bear market have on altcoins , take today market situation as example we saw were Bitcoin shaded off a.good percentage of its price thereby losing close to 3k loses per 1 Bitcoin units.

- quite a good number of altcoin projects have postponed their public launch due to market conditions at the time.

As someone who has been part of a project before, and also founded a few, and worked for so many, I could say that it is just way too damn hard. First of all it is hard because it requires tens of thousands of dollars at least, EVERYONE wants some money from you, hell the people who could find funding for you requires you to pay for them first, so you pay money to get money... that's just stupid but go search for VC firms and you will see that I am right, spoke with many VC people here and they were all the same, they wanted money before they found us money. Secondly, during the bear market there aren't that many people investing into new things, and the only thing that makes a new project go up is attention, you have to be an original idea but that's not enough, you also need to be wanted, grabbing some attention and that is only good with something unique and useful at the same time, which is rare in the market. YOU may like your own project and think people should too, but more often than not devs are the only ones who are in love with the idea, not the community.

On one hand i would say, that if your project is really good with a real use case and so on, then i think it would do fine even in a bear market, but to be honest i am not to sure if that really is true. I think the crypto market is still 90% based around hype alone. During a bull market even the biggest shit projects are pumping while in a bear market even good projects can have a really hard time to survive.
So i think it would definitely make sense for you are and your partners to postpone the launch of your project a bit. At least until the heavy dumping is over and the market seems to be at least a little more stable. I wanted to take part in a public sale of a project today and they also postponed it because of the overall market conditions.

Bear market is not a good idea to introduce a new project, because many investors will not take a risk to invest on new projects since they are more focused to accumulate good coins at a cheaper price. Though you can introduce this already but its better not to list it yet during the bear market. Stay focus on improving the project first before getting listed, usually new tokens are dumping the moment they release it to the public without any good plans or roadmap.

Is this yours?

A successful project will need more elements to be successful, not only because of bul or bear market. But exactly, in bear market, the challenge is much higher and you must be more careful and struggle in this bear market. As well as you can make your projects to be well-known and your team can make more engagement, especially listed on big exchanges, making great progress, and doing more promotions, you may be successful. But exactly, the challenges during bear market is higher.

Yes, those projects are currently not yet making any noises but let's see if it can withstand the current season because bear season is the time where the coins and projects will be heavily tested and mostly will be filtered out especially the ones that doesn't have any utility or is not that appealing to the investors. But if ever those coins will survive the season, then there will be a fruitful season up next when the bull starts, just like Axie.

We cant really deny that launching projects on a bear market is never been that looking good or ideal considering that most of investors are really that in doubt or in fear on whats currently
happening within the market which means that if you are really that launching up project then its up to you whether you would be pushing through on this bear market but well if
we do speak on projects which are really that having potential or real use case then it would really be still able to get up some attention on the public
which it could neither be supported or not but likely it would really be able to get some attention if its really that good.

I believe projects from bear markets may not have been the best, but a large percentage have performed well in the long run. It is likely that they will raise low funds, but they usually make provisions that help developers and give them more time. Some new projects use stable coins instead of their own coin, which I believe will offer users a more comfortable experience with a less risky reward.

I think yes, because during a bear market, the average person sells panic and it will affect the project, it's different from people who think that during a bear market, they can buy at a cheaper price. This is my view of two different sides.

I think its even better to create a project these days. Because, you may not get any decent funding right now, but if you build a project that is nice and keep it growing, even if it is a small growth, that means you are doing such a great job that people are buying it even when we are in a bear market. It means that we are going to see it grow even bigger when the bull market comes.

You think all these avax, ada, matic, sol and similar high level coins were created in 2021 when they peaked right away? Of course not, they were already there and grew during bear period and they grew a lot bigger when the bull run started and they peaked at the top.

Depending on the bearish situation whether your project will be able to survive or get support from investors in this difficult situation, so however the team is the most important in this role to develop it so that when doing marketing there are far more interested people when the market is bearish.

People are always skeptical of bearish so it's difficult to do initial funding so they think it will only make a loss and I can't believe this project will be successful if the team can't do good action when developing the project.

Glad to see you.
The bear market will be decreasing the interest to invest in the new project. That being said if bear market will be driving the demand to go down. People are keeping their money. That means if launching the project in the bearish market will give negative impact to your project but as long as your project backed by some big parties and i think that it will not have a problem launching your project during the bearish market. I suggest you learn from some projects that launched during the bearish trend a few years ago like sandbox.

Yeah there's always timing in trading that's why a lot of people let the bear market pass before trading or investing. Some of the projects takes year before launching their project, because they know if they launch at bear market, it will be probably a flop. People loves to invest and trade in a good condition of the market so always know when and how you will launch your project the way people would invest. In just days or months you can see the new ways of promoting your projects which could give a good background to your project.

first and foremost, what are their goals for this project? do they have enough funds to keep the ball rolling in terms of development? or are they waiting for crowdsourcing activities to finance this project? if they believe their platform is valuable in this market and they can get clients to use their platform, then they can push thru this project. as part of the team, you should feel how this project will perform given the seemingly bearish season. it means, there's waiting time for the team before they can see if this project will move forward. but don't rely from crowdsourcing activities to fund this project.

The fact that you have doubts about launching it in a bear market, may just be a hunch inside you. Investors are moving out of crypto to wait for the right time again to come back. This time however it seem like the market had bottomed. If this is what you also believed maybe it's not so much of a bad idea anymore since investors are also looking for GEMS.

If your project is really that good and investors trust your team that your platform can bring something to the industry, then the market condition has no bearing on your project, the most important is how you build your community and how dedicated the developers are in creating a good platform for the industry.
Even if the market is good but your project is considered a shitcoin, it will not go a long way, investors will find a way to invest in projects that they think have potential that they found in the bear market.
So go for it if you believe that your project can earn the trust of the community.

Might not be a good idea if you are just thinking about hyping it and earning a profit easily. But even if you are launching your project during the bull season it doesn't guarantee success as well because it only lies on the potentiality of the project, not because of the bull season. Because even if it was launched during the bear season but investors see the good concept of the project and could really be trusted, they never hesitate to put money into your project. But if not, never expect such a "success" thing as this is likely impossible to happen.

I think it's okay to launch your project when the market is bearish because after that launch, you must still have a lot of preparation before it can really work properly. This bearish market condition allows you to convince investors of your project but depends on your readiness to face a bearish market. And when the market has started to change direction and your project can still run well, investors will see it as an opportunity, which can convince them that your project can survive for the long term and not be affected by a bearish market. Projects that cannot survive a bear market will soon disappear and be replaced by new ones that do. So as long as you can prove to investors that you and all your team are still working hard to develop the project for the better in the future, investors will certainly believe and will invest in your project.

In crypto currency, every time is a good time to launch your project; either the market is bullish or the market is bearish; every time is a good time to launch a new project. What you have to do is ensure that you are ready and in good shape to launch your project. The following questions would help if you have an answer

1. Does your project have a product to sell? is it achievable?
2. Is your marketing top notch? good enough to proceed to launch?
3. Is your product unique enough to bring investors closer to your project?
4. What is your marketing strategy? Do you have a viable roadmap and you tick the milestones appropriately? Do you have social media presence?
5. Do you have investors in your group? or you have shillers and bots added to your community?
6. Do you engage in vcs or ama events to share your ideas and hear from your investors?

Having an answers to these questions will help you make the right decision; also remember that Everytime is the right time to launch. Put in all your efforts and i wish you the best of luck.

In my opinion, now is not a good time to start a new project. The market is very uncertain, many people run away from crypto or keep their capital mainly in stablecoins and leading projects that are likely to bring profit in the long term. In addition, we have recently seen a lot of regulatory activity in relation to the cryptocurrency market, which also raises uncertainty among potential investors. Personally, I would suggest waiting for the trend to change.

It will be a bit difficult because during the bear season, people limit investment in new projects. But if you are serious about your project and have enough money and resources to develop it, then you can start. And if you can maintain and grow it until the bull season arrives, you will have an advantage over projects that just started during the bull season. The core is still the quality of the project, the project has a long-term vision, and even if it goes through a few more bear seasons, it's not a problem. Look at the top projects, they are still going strong even in this bear season as they take their projects seriously.

I think in this case it depends on the management of the project, even though it is definitely a problem, but when the project management is done correctly, I don't think it will be a problem.

But on the other hand, for the project that you are doing, I still can't say much because I don't even know about your project and have to research it first so I can find out whether it will be possible or not later.
The bear market is still a problem that cannot be minimized in any way, I think, especially for new projects.

Pretty much agree with what you say. Maybe we should focus on building community first before launching the project. My team has start to post on Twitter https://twitter.com/FireDAOlab, hopefully we can create more awareness about the project.

Long term sustainability is definitely very important for the market. But I think the market now changes super fast and it's so unpredictable especially in blockchain. Well my team and I will do our best to survive over the bear market. We believe a good project will shine anyway, just the matter of time.

This is exactly how my team think about it. Building a strong fundamental during the bear so that when the timing is correct, our project will be seen. We have started our moves by sharing the idea and info of the project on Twitter. https://twitter.com/FireDAOlab Looking forward for more people can reach our project and give more opinions to us.

Thanks for the advice. Afterall Bitcoin still plays a massive role to lead the market. We will work hard to be one of the project that will exist for a long time.

Thanks for the precious opinions given. Quite agree with what you've mentioned, there's always project that failed during the bull market and also project that success during the bear market. My team will keep grinding and deliver the best out of our project. We've start to share and deliver the ideas about our project on Twitter https://twitter.com/FireDAOlab. Will continue work from here.

Of course we wish to get market capitalization to expand our project better and faster, but we also believe our project's core value that the market will eventually see it. And of course, a little wish that the bull will be back ASAP.

If it's about project progress, neither bear market nor bull market should affect it. But if your motive is to get market capitalization for your project, of course the bear market will have impacts. The reason is because people are holding their coins/tokens which are at a loss. they have little or no money left to invest.

It depends on your motives.

If you really wanted to bring a good project to the investors, it doesn't matter whether it will be a bull market or a bear market. Yes projects are going up and doing well in the bull run, but most of the projects after the bull market are either going down in popularity, the developers suddenly leave the project with no developments whatsoever or just turning out to be a scam project.

Bear market is for the developers who want to deliver projects to the investors. It's their time to develop, upgrade and make the project better. I've seen projects that are emerging in the bear market, but the problem is most of them aren't successful. Even those projects that have been created in the bull market doesn't guarantee them a success as well so I guess it doesn't matter whether you launch your project during the bull or the bear market.

Don't really follow the development of new projects that appear but a few years ago when the ICO was in a high trend many projects that had completed their ICO stages preferred to wait to enter the exchange until the Bitcoin price entered a bullish period, this was done to avoid massive selling but whatever the conditions are bullish or bearish a project that has potential will always be able to survive and continue to exist in the crypto world for quite a long time because it has clear development as well as clear use cases.

Launching a new project when the market is in a bear market I don't think is a good idea.  Maybe I would say as a crazy idea.  If indeed the developers really believe in their project and it is the latest breakthrough in the world of cryptocurrency then it doesn't matter because you can take advantage of your bear market to build a solid foundation for your project so that when the market will experience an increase in trading transaction volume,  your project is no longer a "new project" which of course it will be something positive to get a lot of investors.  This means for new projects not to burn too much money and be too ambitious if they want to launch the project in the current cryptocurrency environment.  Start by strengthening the fundamentals of your project and I believe it is the best choice you can make.

In general, if we are talking about just launching it, many projects have since risen in price since the bear market, and they have started during the bear market since 2017. IIRC, that's Axie Infinity, and they had boomed with their project when it became mainstream. It's just that it can't be sustained, and I had a hard time having an entry with the new players to play it. It needed to be more sustainable.

When you have done your project, you will find a sustainable way. That's what you need to be successful.

When a bear market happens, people will tend to accumulate top projects like bitcoin, eth... and avoid investing in new projects because new projects will be riskier. Personally, I would not invest in new projects at this time, even popular ones invested by large funds, let alone crowdfunding projects. In my opinion, it is not advisable to launch a new project in the bear season because it will face a lot of difficulties, while if it is launched in the bullish season, everything will be smoother and easier.

Indeed, bear market is for builder. Our team didn't expect anything much during such period but we did put alot of efforts on building our project. Thanks for your kind word as I also foreseen that alot of solid project that did well during bull market took years to build before they go success.

But what I'm curious the most is during bear market like now, most investors will just do nothing and wait till the next bull??

Being confidence and patience is the key I guess. We do believe our project has our own uniqueness. But we will only find out if the project will skyrocketed or not when the bull is back. I believe you're very experienced in the market and perhaps you can suggest what can we do during bear market? What usually investors are seeking during bear market?

Thanks for your comments. I have a question then. If we only prep and launch the project during the bull, don't you think it will be a bit slow as thousands of projects will be launched at that time as well? I do agree the community shrinked alot compare to during the bull market, but in bear market when there are not much projects going on, the chance of standing out will be higher. Or in another way, when the bull is back, people will have more confident on the project that already built for a period. Don't you think so?

Probably not, A lot of investor doesn't invest at these times since the market is down only a few investors have the courage to continue to invest because they probably not going to earn a big amount of profit since the market have very small movements Unless you have the funds to sustain your investment most of the time it will be a loss when investing on top cryptocurrency. Imagine putting funds into a really risky project that has a very small chance of success, most likely the community will be small at a bear market because the market lose a lot of volume and funds, and most of the investors will probably take a break since its the best thing to do after all.

I know some developers that start their own NFT projects and it is not a good start for them because when they start launching their project the market suddenly goes down and that really affects their project affecting investors, Most of the time projects will still earn profit or should I say the developers but most of the project doesn't continue and deliver, so I will avoid projects, especially in a bear market. Everything will skyrocket when the on bull run and that's the best time since investors invest a lot at that time.

Without a doubt a bear market can reduce the support the community could bring to your project, however if you are really convinced that your project is unique and it has something to offer beyond hype then the bear market is not such a big problem, as eventually the community will find about your project and support it, over the years there have been many examples of good projects which were released during a bear market and they still did well, and by the time the bull market came the project finally skyrocketed.

I don't know about your project as well as I have yet researched about it.

In general, bear market is toughest time as investors have their net-loss and their mentality can be very weak, sensitive and stressful. With such negative conditions, they are less likely or nearly impossible to think of investing more. Maybe many of them no longer have capital to use for investment in new projects. With those people, you can not attract them to join your new project.

Bear market is for builders and we have some lessons that a good team can build up good projects in bear market that will gain great success in a next bull market. A most classic lesson from 2020 bull run is Axie Infinity.

FireDAO is a social DAO project based on PID and FID soul-bound accounts, and it's initiated and established by the RainbowCity Foundation. I'm one of the project team member and would like to gather more ideas from everyone in Bitcointalk forum.

I've seen alot of projects did so well during the bull market, but now I'm wondering is bear market will affect the progress of a new project...
