I have seen many reviews about the current new altcoins. Most of them are marked as worse coins with cheap prices, while the rest coins are indicated as scams or shit-coins. I rarely saw people stated that new altcoins are worth for investment or trading nowadays. However, new altcoins are always born from ICO, STO or IEO every month.
So, my questions are
1. Why there are still investors in the new altcoins project? For what they invest if they know new altcoins are only about risks and losses?
2. Who are those developers that always create new altcoins projects? Don't they know that most new projects just ended with failure?
*Warning: Sorry if these questions are ever made by someone!! I never copied or got an idea from others. This is my own opinion.
I'm the developer for Bitflate, a crypto with constant inflation of 7%. I bought Bitcoin in 2018. I started investigating the idea for Bitflate in 2019. I think Bitflate has potential. Even though it has 7% inflation, it doesn't print money arbitrarily. If demand grows faster than supply, its price will increase. I'm a long-term holder of Bitcoin and Bitflate. I guess I can call myself a developer/investor. This is not investment advice. Do you own research.

I think crypto is in a winter, possibly a long winter. It started after the 2017 crash. Some people think that Bitcoin halving will recover the market. But I don't have high hope. I think existing investors are just holding on to their bags and promoting their coins. They hope Bitcoin recovery can lift the market.
I see fatigue with the market. Investors are not eager to listen to new projects. The top investment funds are not very active. I convinced some miners to mine Bitflate coins. Some of them are cashing out. I buy their coins back. I still invest time and money in Bitflate. The cost is low. I suppose Bitflate miners and holders make their risk/reward calculation.

I created Bitflate because I don't see Bitcoin can ever be stable for transactions. Its limited supply is extreme. Its price will always be volatile. I think inflation can create a new category of cryptocurrency. It'll create a cryptocurrency that we can use for transactions.
There is a chance that Bitflate will fail. If that's the case, the world would be either: (1) hyperbitcoinization or (2) Bitcoin speculation and fiat currencies. I don't think (1) hyperbitcoinization is going to happen. So we'll forever be (2) speculating Bitcoin and use fiat for transactions. I think both options are pretty terrible. I look forward to a future when we can use crypto to pay for stuff. I haven't seen a viable path to a crypto future. I will conclude my Bitflate experiment when I see a promising idea.
In the meantime, I continue to run Bitflate. Join Bitflate community if you're interested.
