The question is, would these undervalued, poor dev projects ever compensate investors in terms of returns on investment?
I hope to learn further more below.
The ICO craze has enabled a lot of these developers to just march out on their own and start coding, make a website, answer telegram questions etc etc, all the while thinking that they are doing something truly unique. They forget that at the end it is a business and they need a product. A product needs marketing, advertisement and all that shit. Yet, the problem with most of these so-called undervalued, good devs is that they all think they are on to something unique. It is impossible for everyone to be a Satoshi or a Bill Gates and make a business from scratch simply on the basis of the novelty and brilliance of their ideas. The echo chambers of their telegram/ Reddit groups makes it all the more easier to fall for this narrative.
They all could do much better only if they used some business sense and actually invested in marketing their product, meeting potential clients and just run an actual business.
The hope that these can give returns on investments is bleak because everyone has their own list of the "under the radar, awesome project that nobody else knows about". This happens with everyone. Back when i was naive, i bought something called CarVertical. They were supposedly selling insurance reports on vehicles in the shitty parts of europe.
I bought something like 30K of those at shit prices from a shit exchange thinking "What if this reaches just 1 USD?"
So everyone is waiting for those pumps that will never come. Most real businesses are moving on with whatever actual blockchain use cases are there.
Till the Alt-space gets a little bit more serious about itself rather than relying on the diminishing returns from doing cheap bounties and then doing pre-sales, hoping enough newbies will fall for the false advertising, its not gonna be possible. These projects, developers, bounty participants, Bounty managers, we all need to stop feeding on our own tails..
